DJ seems to be in a much better place since the SRS interview. So many ppl give these operators crap for the interviews, books and podcasts, but it helps them vent it out. And by putting it all out there to millions of people the therapeutic value must lighten their mental load. Great job DJ

I am a former officer turned therapist that specializes in working with the military and public safety. This is BY FAR the most comprehensive and true interview I’ve EVER heard about PTSD/Trauma.

DJ, every morning I hear your words: “20 minute walk”. I am a 74yr old female with multiple heath issues continually searching for ways to mitigate the effects on my mental health. Listening to you gives me ways to go forward. As a very happy, positive person I get angry with my attached insubordinate body and work to incorporate activities that afford me the time to accomplish things that my body refuses to participate in. Is it difficult, yes, but I will never give up. Sure wish we had guys like you helping us understand our Vietnam combat vet husbands. Thanks, DJ.😘

DJ is a different level entirely, his interview w/Shawn Ryan legitimately helped me refocus as a man. Truly life changing. I’ve also learned some real cool shit from him in regard to tactics, nobody better to learn from. I can always hear him when I run CQB Drills & I approach a threshold “Keep distance from the threshold”. And be a fucking pro.

This is the second interview I listened to with DJ. Never get tired of hearing his perspective on issues. His attitude / presence is motivating. DJ is spot on, most people. especially men, don't embrace you in the tough times, they kick you to the curb, especially as you age. It's the new society we live in. Speaking from first-hand experience, I’ve had multiple TBI‘s, and PTSD events, loss of. multiple siblings, and 2 near-death experiences. And at the age of 60 I’m still fighting to overcome the setbacks. The systems in place don’t recognize the nuances that DJ reference. Clearly, a different approach is needed to have sustainable impact.

I remember when I came into the Marines during the GWOT era, and literally DJ is the exact replica of my seniors. Just hardcore men who instilled such a spartan mindset, and that pro mentality. Literally changed my whole life from being an abused kid in every aspect including sexually, got beat up in school, publicly humiliated, tried to commit suicide twice, to coming in during the GWOT era, deploying, government agency for years, and now I’m going to achieve more dreams. That mindset is so fucking contagious and I love it! Also DJ I need that shirt!

im on my husbands youtube account right now on his laptop so this is the wife of the dude in the profile pic lol, but i had to comment and say this so simply and so eagerly and so confidently, this documentary came to me on accident this morning, i do not watch content like this, my husband is was in the army, so yes military content is on this youtube account. i cannot relate to this, so i thought, but to you guys, and sincerely to DJ Shipley, this just saved my life. i cannot state how, or why on here, but know that you just saved my life. and i just wish you could know how much. thank you for making this, thank you DJ for you honesty, your transparency, and thank you to whatever higher power (not religious but spiritual myself) for having this video pop up and the right words spoken to catch my attention in one of the darkest mornings of my life. this is going to take time, but i am capable, and i am willing to put a minimal effort into myself everyday. i self sacrifice every day as a mother, a wife, but never for myself, and i am willing to start self sacrificing to better myself for my family, the only ones that matter, and especially for myself, because for the first time in a long time, im choosing life. you gave me gravity today, gave it back, helped plant my feet, thank you, truly, know that you saved my life, you...saved...my....life. -Heather

Single mom here of two amazing kids! Been walkin’ uphill most my life and been in a dog fight with anxiety and depression since my teens. The ego death is the absolute best thing that can happen. Thank you for this amazing conversation and helping our military! God Bless you! ❤🙏🏻

I watch this to sharpen my understanding for what soldiers with PTSD go/went through. I'm a teacher in Germany and I prepare an event for our German heroes at my school. Soldiers attend our event to enlighten our students, and even one special operator from our KSK visits us. I'm hearing all this and I'm speechless in certain phases of this interview. My only wish is that our school's "Veteran Day" makes our heroes happy because they get their well-deserved attention. God bless all our soldiers.

20/10 your quality of interviewing is on point. You do a good job on letting him speak, being attentive and responding appropriately. Even the camera transitions are on point. Even though I have to put my phone brightness down because the bright lighting affects me. As a veteran, I can say this episode absolutely helped me.

DJ SHIPLEY, I hope you see this. I have always wondered how your relationship was with your dad. Not to be nosey but because I grew up in a broken home if addicts, and alcoholic with no education. I joined the Army at 17 went in became a combat engineer, hit SAPPER SCHOOL, JUMP SCHOOL, and Air Assault. For me I felt so good getting out of my home. When I got out I found your dad and I always wished that was my dad because then I could have been a SEAL possibly or a RANGER, SARC just next level shit. But thank you for the interview. I enjoy watching everything I can with you in it. I also had my battle with depression, anxiety and substance issues. Now I’m doing good and thriving. Your videos help me keep moving forward, thank you! SALUTE

Thanks for having DJ on. Love these guys!

I'm not even American, I'm Serbian, but this man is a legend. Have listened to many of his interviews and videos. Truly a smart person and a inspiring one. Because of him I have improved my exercise way more than I've ever dreamt of. Truly a Hero.

I’m always locked in when he speaks. He can just keep you engaged the entire time.

You guys don’t even know how much this knowledge and conversation has helped me and opened my eyes in so many ways guys we need this sometimes we’re going through some darkness that we can’t understand and it’s more difficult having a family or growing up without a father that could’ve guided you to be a better family men …. This means a lot

Amazing interview brother I've been following DJ for 3 or 4 years that man is a man's man he's so cool and humble and his AR work is beautiful

GBRS Patreon squad. Checking in.

Looking 1000% better than on Sean Ryan. DJ was dead inside back then. Now eyes clear and sparkling. Skin, voice, speech all excellent. Fantastic to see one of our military guys finding healing.

He is so on point about the connection of physical fitness and mental health.

Dj Shipley and his father have done so much!! Thank you!!

You and your Dad are so alike DJ. Keep up the greatness, you’ve both built your own legacies

Thank you DJ for sharing this. Im a heavy equipment operator and struggle with anxiety & depression. What you said is so true especially for men. Just say it!!

The part about dials and switches is gold, thank you very much!

I don't know what to say... One of the most credible useful interviews I have ever heard...

DJ is awesome - it’s not easy when your dad is a legend.

I especially broke down in tears when DJ talked about when he and his wife finally reconnected again. The same thing happened to me. 7yrs of absolute hell, between two highly motivated and competitive people. Then something happened or someone told me what to do and it clicked. Your marriage will only be as good as YOU make it. Control your controllables. So I faced the music and started picking up the pieces of the disconnected shattered marriage she and I had both created. eliminating every excuse to work, exercise, and be apart for any reason possible. Be together. Talk and listen. Never give up.

Dude is a superhero. If you havent heard his interview on the Sean Ryan show its one of the craziest stories ever. They breezed over it in this probably because he already covered it. Worth a watch

I see a lot of comments and feedback from folks that havent been inside the looking glass. If you havent been apart of or performed at that level, save your rocks for your own glass house. I was only a mere Tier 2 Teamguy, everyone deals with what we did, what we saw and what we experienced differently. I applaud DJ for airing all of his problems and things he's had to fight through, its a testament to his character which just like his Dad, is pretty fucking great. Keep doing you Brother and continue to show people that you have to do whatever it takes to fight the dragon every day, to continue to find purpose, or you may lose the battle. We are worth it, all of us, not just combat veterans, not just veterans but men, we are worth it and finding ways and examples to share with others likely leads to helping save more, to keep the 3rd rail on contact. Hang in there gents, the Brotherhood needs every last one of us. #LLTB

Thank you. DJ and the GBRS crew has helped me on my path to focus, calm and loyalty to myself and my mental health issues. Thank you so much.

Just want to remind those who don't know that his father is Don John Shipley former Navy seal , RU-vidr as well. Specialises in catching stolen valor scammers

From an infantry marine, fire dept, to deep trouble. This gave me goosebumps and dj has been an awesome change and role model

I love hearing DJ speak - I always come away filled with so much clarity. He has an amazing gift to motivate others to change one step at a time. I thank him for speaking his truth in every interview that he commits to 🤗.

Thank you so much for this interview. I spent 22yrs in Fire/Ems. I always allowed my men to come to me if they were having issues. While doing that. I was chief of my department at the time. When i started going down the drain after a number of bad calls that happened back to back to back. We brought in a crisis debriefing team. It was the 5th time they came to debrief is after bad calls. I use to be the quiet one. I would let everyone else talk. The final debriefing that we did. I snapped and lost it. I had a counselor chase me down and forced me to go to therapy were I was diagnosed with PTSD, Anxiety and depression and was pulled off the only job that I have every loved. That lead me down a dark path with addiction and it had taken me years to get my life just back to the halfway part.

Thank you Dj for unknowingly helping me become a better father & husband, overall a better man. Anytime I have an issue I find myself looking through your SRS interview and the answer is almost always there. I stubbled on this and now my fn mind is blown 🤯 thank you for everything you do because it truly makes a difference in men everywhere, we are all looking forward too the next one 🙏🏽

A really interesting interview, I am glad I found it on RU-vid.

These are my type of “celebrities”! DJ is an absolute legend!

“People try to put a pedestal on you just because the patch you wear or cool school you went through… The stuff that happened to you at six still affects you whether you’re a navy seal or schoolteacher”. Wow I needed to hear that. Anxiety/Panic/trauma are scary real!!

I’m in a high-level, corporate career and this episode had a lot of takeaways. Being a father and husband and how to manage the dials hits home. I always love this man’s story and I learned a lot of new facts/tools. Also shoutout to my rock climbers!

Dj has a gift to condense his years of training and all its lessons into a playbook for anyone who wants to get better at whatever it is they are focused on. I must of sent this to every young person I know. It should be mandatory viewing. The host did a good job. 🙏Thank you Dj

Amazing interview. Its awesome to see where DJ is now from 2 years ago when he did the interview with Shawn Ryan. The advice about steady pressure is probably the best advice anyone can get. We live in a culture that wants everything now, and especially with mental health, change takes time. Its very easy to get caught up in the day to day, and not realize the change that takes place over time. You look back a day, week, or so, nothing seems to have changed. Look back 6 months or a year, and it is visible. The concept of steady pressure gives the day to day focus necessary to stick with it without burning yourself out in the process.

Thank you so much for giving us this interview! Amazing to hear what DJ has been through and how he survives.

This interview is so golden man, my God

Gosh dang I needed this more than you know. We are all battling something. I’m going through it currently and in the past. Just keep fighting don’t ever give up.

Fantastic. As all DJ podcasts are. Superb hosting by not interrupting also. Outstanding.

May God bless you, your family and everyone you love. I am just ABSOLUTELY floored about your commitment and patriotism! Brother, we owe you and your family SO MUCH! Thank you for all you have done. Thank you !

i cant even express how phenomenal this interview was. i could listen to DJ for hours, he is by FAR my favorite person to listen to in this genre.

Wow. This has helped me greatly. I'm ex Royal Navy 85/92 and h have had problems in my life. But listening to this has have me a new focus on doing my routine as I was starting to just lye in bed for days at a time, again. His story is amazing. Thank you.

Glad to see DJ doing better than the place he seemed to me to be on SRS Biggest takeaways - 1) Be a pro, 2) Surround yourself with people who are better than you at things and it will rub off, 3) Stay consistent and stack the wins in the daily routine

Thank you for your honesty on your mental health issues… always praying for our service members and first responders…

His comment about skateboarding was interesting. There was a famous skateboarder back in the day, Mike Mo, and he was asked how his tricks were so consistent. He said he would learn one, and then commit to doing it over and over until he could land it 100 times in a row, and after that it was committed to muscle memory.

Grateful to hear you were touched by Ibogaine. Ibogaine and 5-meo saved and transformed my life... a life before and a life after.... never to be the same. Ibogaine will set your straight. 5-meo will show you the Truth.

Must respect to DJ Shipley. Thanks for inspiring us to be better 👊🏻

New subscriber here. Love these pods with our veterans. Also amazing quality.🇺🇸🇬🇧

Love listening to DJ speak. Spartan Warrior

Awesome Interview. DJ is such an awesome person for being so genuine

We are still losing 22 brother & sister veterans every damn day. DJ has laid himself out, brutally honest... And that's huge towards saving our people. Thanks DJ.

Let's gooooo dj gave a interview with Shawn ryan show that literally changed my life by far best podcast I ever heard can't wait to finish this

Mr. Shipley is a true hero. He fought and warched team mates die for every one of the rights we continue to piss away on a daily basis. I cannot begin to express my gratitude to him and everyone else that served for us.

I could not stop watching for 3 hours straight! Great interview!!

Humbling interview. Thank You. I still think that the SRS interview w/ dj is the best thing ive seen on the net....this is pretty damn good too.

Great discussion, DJ. Your growth is exponential. The truth about trauma and your job, I understand very well. Much respect to you and yours.

DJ Boy oh boy you hit the nail on the head with that shit. I was paramedic for 20+ years. I try to talk to the young guy/gals coming in on how bad it will get if you don’t talk to somebody. Call after call of dealing with death on all different levels. There are still calls if I talk about them I turn into an emotional wreck. Both sad and happy calls. Poignant stuff will get me too. Crazy I will have tears running down my face but not be sad.

I'm glad I listened I hope you are having a blessed year to this interview I already feel better and I don't know what he's doing now but he could help a lot of people just by hearing him. God bless you brother

DJ - caught you initially on the Shawn Ryan show. Thank you for your service. Really appreciate your vulnerability and honesty. I hope it helps other vets.

I love to hear DJ talk about how real it is over in Iraq and Afghanistan. People who haven’t been there and in combat just do not understand the reality of the situation. It’s a different type of war than what America had ever fought and WAR is something that is unexplainable to somebody who hasn’t been through it. Also, the IED/EFP situation is pure luck or unlucky if your vehicle gets hit. That EFP doesn’t know your rank, color, creed, sex, or anything. It just shreds and kills. Great video.

I'm not trying to be a DJ Shipley glazer, but, who am I kidding yeah I am this guy's the fkn shit and makes me feel comforted knowing guys like that protect us while we sleep n simultaneously make me feel inadequate LOL dudes the MAN we should all strive to be

Im glad Dj had a wife and kids to even go through brutally tough times with. I cant tell you how many times ive dealt with situations like the one he had with his wife in the back of that truck crying by my god damn self. It is beyond words how painful and how much shit like that has hurt me.

I wholeheartedly believe you have one of the best lighting set-ups in podcasting today! Great content, great quality!

Great interview man. I subscribed to your channel now glad it poped up. I wish i knew about DJ in my youth...would have saved me a lot of headaches and mistakes. All about that mindset.

Okay, Now that I listened to this in its entirety, first, DJ you’re a hell of a speaker (You should do some speaking events professionally), Second the dial switch and buffer part I listened to twice. I have to call myself out, I am horrible at a few things, I come home stressed a lot, and I hide myself in a quiet part of my house until my mood changes (I wont do it Anymore). I talk shop on the phone while driving home sometimes and I continue the call while Im walking into my house. (I wont do it anymore). I watched DJs video on The Shawn Ryan Show, he’s very open, and honest about his struggles, simply trying to help the next person. Thanks for this video, I definitely learned a lot, and now have to hold myself accountable and make some course corrections in my life.

loved the podcast. its a fenomenal masterclass on how to deal with stress and downfalls in your life, and it comes from a top tier athlete. thanks

Don't know how I never came across this earlier in my life .I Suffer from Anxiety and Depression I started watching it last night I wasn't able to watch the whole thing I will tonight.This is very interesting to me.Every Day is a struggle always being in my Head about everything.Some times makes me go crazy man..I can't wait to finish watching tonight..This was posted 3 months ago .I'm just seeing it now I subscribed

Simply a brilliant interview...the questions were spot-on and the answers were filled with wisdom and inspiration. Imagine showing this to a high school class on the first day...and then building a curriculum around it all...THAT'S education!

The first interview I ever heard of Shipleys changed my life. I've listed to anything and EVERYTHING that man has said publicly well over 5 times over. Absolutely baffling that this content can be accessed for free.

Dj showing up again with another knowledge transfer. Dude’s a G

DJ!! You have great words of Wisdom!! I would love to sit in your program to learn. I was not able to save my husband and I am a nurse of 40 years with lots of classes in MHC, Alcoholism, You bring great wisdom and strength to those who hear you speak. Thank you for sharing. May God continue to bless you and your family!!

I’m just under 2 minutes in and I gotta say you are such a great interviewer. I first listened to DJ’s amazing story on SRS probably 10 times. It’s obvious you put time and effort into preparing for this and I think I can speak for most when I say thank you 🙏 this is gonna be another banger

Shipley is him, boys. What an absolute warrior.

I've been following these guys since he's been blurring his face out and they started patreon they have a really solid message and good advice, especially with them being Seals and I'm a retired Army guy 😂, Be a Pro!

Great interview. I can relate to the humanity that Mr. Shipley shows in this interview. He is speaking total truth. Love it. Keep it up brother.

That was a great interview! Thank you for sharing that with everyone.

Knowledge Transfer Specialist.

Absolute Legend, things his been through and is a real man, I've learned so much from this, thank you

Imagine the mental shock of going from being a level 1 operator to a regular civilian. 🤯

DJ you are a fucking miracle! all you had you gave to your family. its a hard route! but hwat ever happend tou are here! you re one of the few people you have a cofee with.

Listening to your mental health advice really gives me hope to get through stuff .. Thank you DJ

this conversation has been a paradigm shift for me. Thank you.

DJ is a real hero, absolutely amazing, inspiring, I am in awe of his life, impressive 💯💯

Prior LEO here…so freaking true. I couldn’t seek mental health treatment because I knew that would be the end of my career. We feel stuck. The only outlet I had was my small circle and thank God, my mentor.

DJ Shipley receives a phone call... "Hey bro it's Don Shipley what can I do for ya?"

Amazing interview. I could listen to 1,000 hours of DJ talking.

Awesome dude !!!!! 💪🇺🇸. Patreon is worth every single penny. 🙏 P.S. love the watch collection. Black & gold is 🔥

DJ Shipley is about to be sued into oblivion. Apparently he's a PoS. It's always fun watching people get their comeuppance.

I remember seeing this young man on youtube when he was in my opinion in a very low state and this interview i just watched he seems so very much more happy and content. Just my observation.Anyhow good luck to Chief Shipley in his journey back to life so to speak. And guess what....he made some observations and suggestions that i am going to remember and try to use to improve ME. Thanks again.

He's so genuine and that's rare today.

Being from growing up around n always army ranger in my blood n coming from generations of army warriors, I must say DJ Shipley is a strait Stud!! My #1 Hero fr!!! Even though im 7 yrs older i will always look up to him..,100% Gentlemen with a blink of an eye can be your worst nightmare Savage when needed to be. Has mastered the mentallity of getting back to living as a civilian again.

What an amazing interview. Absolutely eye and mind-opening.

The best MB interview to date. A must listen.

This is the best interview DJ has done! The place he is in is awesome! BZ Bro...
