0:52Now PlayingEven the best operators forget things under pressure.
Former Navy SEAL officer Leif Babin breaks down the moment he realized he'd launched operations missing critical gear — and the one discipline that fixed it for good.
Veteran platoon chief Tony Fratti ran a verbal checklist before every single operation. Head to toe. Every time. No exceptions. That habit wasn't a sign of weakness — it was a mark of elite leadership.
The lesson? Theory says you'll remember everything. Reality says you won't. Checklists aren't just for operators — they're for anyone leading a team, raising kids, or running a business where the details matter.
Ownership starts before the mission begins.
Watch the full episode to hear more hard-earned lessons from the battlefield — and how they apply directly to your life and leadership.
