A graduate of the University of Texas McCombs MBA Program, he is the founder and CEO of Talent War Group, a leading management consulting and executive search firm, which specializes in creating sustainable world-class leadership development programs within companies and sourcing executive talent to drive organizations to the next level.

In 2008-2009, Mike served as the SEAL Junior Officer Training Course (JOTC) Director at BUD/s, the head of leadership development for new SEAL officers where he coached, mentored, and prepared those officers to lead combat operations during the Global War on Terrorism. Mike was then assessed and selected for assignment to Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU), part of the elite Joint Special Operations Command, in support of global counter-terrorism operations. Mike completed a total of ten (10) combat deployments in support of the Global War on Terrorism.
Mike is an Ambassador for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, which provides fully-funded college educations and additional educational opportunities, “Cradle to Career” (Preschool to College), to surviving children of special operations forces lost in the line of duty as well as children of all medal of honor recipients.

Mike enlisted in the Marine Corps after high school. He became a Recon Marine and also served as a scout sniper. He was selected for the Marine Enlisted Commissioning Education Program (MECEP). Still, after finishing his bachelor’s degree in Business Administration at Texas A&M University, he sought a commission in the Navy to try out for the SEAL Teams.
After completing the Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) Training, Mike served in SEAL Team THREE, Task Unit Bruiser, the most decorated Special Operations Task Unit of the Iraq war, where he led major combat operations during the Battle of Ramadi in 2006. In 2008, Mike returned to Iraq and led historic combat operations during the Battle of Sadr City.
Mike is the man and tons of respect for shouting out our beloved Corps!!!
I served with this dude and we went to jump school together. Even as a you g SEAL officer he was still rocking a green skivvy shirt and when he was asked about it he said the same exact thing, “once a Marine always a Marine”. There is another cool pub story but that a beer conversation…
Mike Saraille is a Good Dude.
This is Mike, who is this! I would love to reconnect
@@TalentWarGroup you ever find this guy Mike? Would love an update!
He said " I'm not the best father" I felt that, as a Guardsman with three deployments and a son of 9 years old it's hard. The only thing that matters is we "try".
Dude had massive forearms. I'd still arm wrestle him...just to say I did it! Thank you for your service marine! 🙏
Biggest forearms of any man I’ve ever shaken hands with was Kevin Windham. He had recently finished a moto, dudes forearms were pumped.
Like a plump c***

Very powerful interview, thank you for sharing. My father is a retired chief from the Air Force. Granted he’s not a navy seal or marine but the mentality my dad has is very similar to this man’s. Almost sounded like the lectures I’ve been receiving for 27 years. But I’m so incredibly thankful for everything my dad has taught me and I wouldn’t be the man I am today if it wasn’t for him.
Dude, as a Marine myself, hearing him introduced as a Seal and then jump on that intro with Recon Marine and the Once a Marine, Always a Marine……Great s***!!
thanks for your service guys, need more people like this in our world
Thank you fellas for even taking the time to do this and share some good positive things.
I’m glad he mentioned being disciplined with alcohol, real important and often not talked about enough
some alcoholics out-live most of their peers. fun fact.
Man this guy is inspirational! Respect.
Solid answers
I’m 38 years old and have 4 kids ages 7, 10, 12 and 16. My biggest thing is dinner every evening at the table. NO TV, no cell phones! Ask how was your day? what did you do? what did you learn? If you don’t practice this, try it tonight at dinner PLEASE!
*if possible
Wow, that last question was very thought provoking
Never thought about empathy as being a dial, that you one should be intentional with how and when the dial should be turned up or down and is dependant on the situation. I think that it's a great quality however too much empathy or not enough can cause real problems in ones life. Great advice.
So good Tim to touch on these topics with an individual of the utmost caliber! Heavy, but super beneficial!👍🔥🔥🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Tim, what a legend and inspiration you are!!!
Great American hero and history books should be written about his life 💯
@@georgecoull1883 Great American war criminal. Fixed that for you.
Respect, so much I can't verbalize it. Thank you for this Tim, please please do more like this when you can.
Awesome words! Thank you for your service!
I think I can die okay knowing I spent 5 years of my life watching Tim Kennedy and a few others with related channels when I'm like 50 haha
Looking fabulous . Thank you 🙏 for being amazing .
This video fired me up!
Thanks for sharing
mike glover is a great guy.i love his fieldcraft. ya mike Sarraille and silly kennedy are great amercians
Definitely need more of these champ 💪😤
Thank you Tim, my father came home from Saipan forever changed. My father had been hit by a grenade attack and somehow survived. The surgeon that saved his life was awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously. After several more surgeries back in San Diego he was discharged and went back home to Lubbock Texas and married my mother. We pulled fragments from his body literally till he passed in 2009 my Dad was quiet about his service and said, “Never brag about anything but be gracious about who you served with and remember the heroes, he would then say he couldn’t have done it without our family”.
Hey it’s Tim “the human grenade” Kennedy!
Pleasantly surprised to hear a Simon Sinek shout out
Solid discussion. Important.
The impact you have. Brilliant answer.
Mike won’t let you forget he was a Marine! 😂
Thank you guys!
God Bless the both of you.
Outstanding
Once a Marine, always a Marine. Ooh-rah!
7 habits of highly effective people
That's awesome thank you for your service your a badass you both are
Outstanding interview.
Thanks 😉👍
Thank you to the BOTH of you for your service. Took the ASVAB in 95. Wasnt selected. Stay safe and be well gents! Oh can we still say Semper Fi?
God bless you guys. 🇺🇸
Semper Fi
P.T. everyday....build my body the Marine Corps way!!!
So what do you do for a job? Working Monday through Saturday 5am-5pm at the mill? Working in the log woods daylight to dark? Driving a truck across the country 2 months out at a time?
Folks, those are the real heroes in life!
Respect
Wife and I had the fortune of hanging out with 21 seals 10 days ago for an entire evening. Very nice well mannered bad asses is all I can say. Thanks for your service and sacrifice guys!
It's amazing how many Seal's say to make your bed. I started doing it and when i don't do it I can tell a difference and even the wife will say something on the rare occasion that i don't.
I will start doing AAR Good idea
Phenomenal.
Recon & Scout Sniper Marine turned DEVGRU SEAL… I should rip off the giant Zeus tattoo I got when I was 17, and give it to him.
Hey I have a question for any navy seal out there, I’ve been studying American revolution a lot more and I saw that the
Marines had a detachment back then that would swim from ship to ship to either blow it up or capture it… can this in any way be a beginning for the navy seal… just curious
I saw the picture and was like that’s Tim Kennedy he’s special forces army aka Green berets . Lol obviously I was wrong again
TK, this has to be your top shelf interview. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Bravo 💪
Thanks Guys 💪💪
I thought Don Shopley had more hair!
2018 Lance Armstrong podcast where Tim said gun control is a good idea. Ladies and Gentlemen, understand that if Big Brother comes for our guns, Tim will be on their side.
You guys should talk to Gary Vaynerchuk. You're both equally inauthentic hyper as he is.
Both of you guys are inspirational.
What time do you guys wake up and get to bed? I have a huge problem with being absolutely exhausted waking up at 4:00am to get my work out in. Work all day and pay with the kids in the evening. How do you do it?
You should try to get between 6 and 8 hours sleep atleast maybe wake up at 6am ?
@@TKBauer523 I wish. I have to be at work by 6:30.
Work 7-5.
Two small kiddos that want to play.
Dinner, baths and bed time routine gets me to bed by 10pm. I get 5-1/2 to 6 hours most nights.
Good for you brother. There is no easy way and everyone is build different, the simple answer is, you just do it...
Same boat man. 4:30 rise and shine and workout around 5-5:15. Sometimes you hit the mark and other times you don’t. Don’t beat yourself for not getting in workouts or being less than patient with the kiddos. Ultimately you’re doing it for your health and sanity and hopefully everyone in the family can understand.
Damn, Tim Mcgraws getting after it these days
Semper Fi!!!!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I wonder if Tim is brothers or family with Travis Kennedy?
Damn this hit hard but better to be real than fake
If a famous person walked in the room, they should say “Holy shit..a Navy SEAL! “
I need way more of this guy. Podcast? 🥺
One book, 2 Jocko pods and his own pod
Solid
Tim needs to go get another beat down from Shrek.
Tim, I saw an article about a handful of US veterans headed to Ukraine to help out. What do you think of that and could you see yourself doing the same?
Hay!! Tum Kennedy? You gotta admit? That I do look the kind of person, on who has done alot of PUSH...UPS! In his life right?
ARRUGAH ARRUGAH ARRUGAH
How many pull ups did you do on your initial PFT in boot? Just curious, how many now
From Sun Tsu and Other's writtings on the Art of War, ' The Highth of a Warrior's Skill is Turning an enemy into a friend without fighting them ' . And so since I have done that and since I am the Only Person, in the History of The UDT/S.E.A.L. program, so far, that has ever been asked by Navy S.E.A.L.s if I wanted to be a U.S. Navy S.E.A.L. , I will say in all Truth, Both Mr. Kennedy and his Guest, are Top Notch Operators. And following their advice is one of the best things you can do. 😊❤✌ With the exception of Studying Tony Robbins because I have seen him confuse ' Passion ' with an ' Over Inflated Ego ' . And know that an ' An Over Inflated Ego ' can and often does hurt the person who has it. With respect Mr. Kennedy and Guest, you would be better off studying Taoism and the Teachings of the Dalai Lama and Reading the Old Stories from Irish Celtic Tradition and The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto, than most of this New Fangled stuff, those books and the Books by Stephen Covey and Bruce Lee. And so as it was in NSW, Hoo Yah. Gentlemen. 😊❤✌
(1 -10) Given the situation in the Ukraine, does Timmy “The Sheep” and Sgt Dakota Fanning USMC hold their recent, on the record gun control/“tacticool” positions, when it comes to citizens and the 2A?
What watch you got there?
Squids-tier 2
I would really like for Tim Kennedy to share more of his faith life in social media because I am a Christian and I think it would be interesting.
First 30 seconds nailed it. He made sure you put it out that he was a Recon Marine. Say what you will about Marines, but we are the proudest bunch. Especially amongst the 03xx community.
We will either have a sticker, flag, or tattoo lol. Whenever you see cars repping their branches, for the smallest branch, we rep the most. It's pride
Go check out the jocko podcast it was a great one
Damn, 911 likes on this video when I clicked on it.
I heard Tim Kennedy thinks only military and law enforcement should have guns. He kind of looks down at the average civilian who gun larps on the weekends. Is this accurate or bullshit? I know Dakota Meyer feels that way. Didn't Tim back up Dakota Meyer's comments with agreement?
Did Don Shipley vet this guy ? What BUDS class number ? lol
😎
These dudes definatley deserve to wear their caps on their heads backwards......
Navy SEAL is more proud to be a Marine. Lol. Says a lot.
The Seals I have heard have a lot of respect for Marines. I am not saying they don't respect other branches.
Workout App
What are your thoughts on this Russian invasion?
Kennedy for President!!!! 2024
The same guy that feels you shouldn’t own firearms and is blatantly open about it. Good job
No he's the guy that's open about how "idiots" shouldn't own guns. Haters lol.
@@jonalund1617
So he’s saying he shouldn’t own them himself
But can he balance a ball on his nose with perfectly quaffed hair? - Ranger Up joke
🇺🇸💪🙏
First like, what's my prize?
No Ar’s for civilians Tim K? Disappointed in you.
OAMAAM sploosh
Hey guys, Don’t forget to go buy a pair of woobies!
Are you my dad?
Oorah devil!
Anyway Y'all could use the skills that you were trained for to kick some actual ass. I know you have done your time in service, but if your skills are the best, Russia needs the whooping.
It’s so clear why when Jesus heard the Centurion and said “Greater faith than this I hath not seen in all Jerusalem”.
Order. But if this man had Christ first in his life he would be one of the greatest Saints in History. Don’t misunderstand my profound respect for him and his sacrifice for our beloved country however he has a rare understanding of an orderly life built on hierarchies, discipline and self sacrifice to the the level of a religious zealot but without the ultimate hierarchy. It would not surprise me if one day Jesus would call him or another rare soul like him to rebuild his Church. How we truly turn this thing around.
He understands that a virtue (natural or supernatural) is in a habit not in the occasional act.
Just look at his face..put him in a habit.
St. Ignatius of Loyola
St. Francis of Assisi
St. Thomas Beckett
Etc....
I hope you read this Mike.
Thank you for all your sacrifices for our great country, your brothers in arms and those you saved whom you never met but because your bravery are alive and well.
God bless you Mike your family and all your brothers in Arms.
I. H. S.
🤝🇺🇸🇺🇦❤️
😂 this world we live in
Yea let’s hear some gun questions from MR ANTI GUN HIMSELF! You are such a disappointment!
I completely agree with Tim and his friend but unfortunately they are a dying breed they make up probably less than 1% of the entire United States military they are a dying breed if the United States had battalions and brigades made up of men and women like these the world would sleep in peace but unfortunately we do not we have CRT quotas and woke mentality inflicting inflicting the capabilities of our war fighting capabilities I hope that they pray that the United States and its allies do not emvoke any war or involve itself in any war regardless of the Situation for the near future near future until we are able to bolster our forces and get back to training as war fighters the United States and its allies do not need war and do not want war I pray that Tim and his friend understand the difference of what was and what is and what we need to become once again to become effective and understand influencers and bullshit degrees do not make u a leader altho thats they way its going love loyalty. Integrity and jesus does only i hope we can move forward as a nation in theses trying times with out war and move toward to prospects of peace and also we can pull our heads out of or asses
How is your crypto knowledge? Everything will change once you go down the rabbit hole. Don't get left behind. Seek.
