This ex-US Navy SEAL veteran, William Branum, has had a long successful military journey that fuelled his endeavors as an entrepreneur. He is a person who has used his life experiences and lessons to bring out the best in himself and others. His success path is an inspiration to many.
Background
William Branum was born in Meridian, Mississippi. As a kid, he was pretty quiet, and in the Boys’ Scout. William was an Eagle Scout, something that interested him. He knew he wanted to be a part of some small Elite military unit but didn’t know precisely what. Then, someone told him about the Navy SEAL Teams and that excited him. He fell in love with the idea of jumping out of planes and scuba diving; he did not waste time joining the Navy between the 11th and 12th grade.
He spent 26 years in the Navy SEAL teams, retiring in 2018. He struggled with tons of mental baggage, sleep disorders, stress, anxiety where he discovered CBD. Because of the life-changing benefits, he started a CBD company, Naked Warrior Recovery. He focuses on helping veterans who suffer from the same things he had to face.
Inspiration
William Branum finds inspiration in people who have undergone similar struggles as he has. Some of them are peers, some entrepreneurs, and some are just everyday people doing good in the world. One of them is Ray Care, a friend, coach, and entrepreneur. Ray was his mentor in the first SEAL platoon, then years later in civilian life as a mentor outside the military.
Getting into CBD Business
In the last three years in the Navy, William had the title of Science and Technology Director. The SEAL teams had operational deficiencies, as one couldn’t do any mission without technology or techniques. William would look into these deficiencies and went out to find solutions.
He gathered $16 million dollars of other people’s money to develop technologies like Quantum Cascade Laser to inflatable Sleds to recover a mini-submarine and underwater communications systems. Understanding his ability to solve numerous technical issues in the SEAL set him on a path of entrepreneurship.
Naked Warrior Recovery
The Naked Warrior has a lot of heritage. They were the predecessor to today’s Navy SEAL. In World War II, the Navy asked for volunteers who went ashore to do reconnaissance missions to survey the beach for obstacles and lanes of assault then measure the water depth at the beach, with a rock and a string with knots. They would find obstacles underwater and on the beach, crawling around all while being fired at by the Germans. Just before the assault on Normandy (think Saving Private Ryan), would place demolition charges and blow the obstacles up before the troops came to shore.
The other side of the Naked Warrior is a mindset. People constantly walk around feeling attacked from social media, relationships, or someone at work. People wear their egos like armor as they live their lives. Naked Warrior aims to help GET NAKED. To let go of one’s ego, one can find the healing needed to grow and be a better person.
NAKED is an acronym, where N means Never quit, A for Accept failure, K stands for Kill mediocrity, E for Exposure, and D for Do the work. All these traits help individuals become warriors.
Understanding CBD
CBD (Cannabidiol) helps people with anxiety, insomnia, and different types of chronic pain. Unfortunately, the CBD industry is unethical with poor-quality products. William, however, is striving to do business differently with his high-quality CBD broad-spectrum products.
He focuses on the highest quality broad-spectrum CBD, by removing the THC component. The oils contain almost all the hundred and twenty minor cannabinoids and terpenoids from the hemp plant. Terpenes are like essential oil from the hemp plant. Most companies only produce a CBD isolate, where you isolate the CBD molecule and discard the rest of the medicinal properties from the hemp plant.
Conclusion
William Branum has an inspiring journey as a Navy SEAL veteran, dealing with CBD (Cannabidiol) and getting into entrepreneurship to help veterans reach optimal mental health. He is one that has done it all and is a true example to everything he preaches.
