In this powerful episode of The MisFitNation, host Rich LaMonica welcomes U.S. Navy Veteran and former Navy SEAL Matt Maasdam for a deep conversation on leadership, service, and decision-making at the highest levels.
Matt served over 20 years in the U.S. Navy, deploying to Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa, and the Pacific, operating in some of the most dangerous environments in the world to disrupt terrorist networks and protect American lives. His exceptional leadership led him to the White House, where he was selected to serve as President Barack Obama’s Military Aide, carrying the nuclear football—the briefcase containing the tools required for the President to respond to catastrophic threats.
After transitioning from military service, Matt brought his mission-first mindset into the private sector, leading a 2,000-person team at Under Armour, proving that elite leadership principles transcend uniforms.
This episode explores combat leadership, national-level responsibility, high-stakes decision-making, and how to lead with integrity in both military and civilian life.
