INSIDE SEAL TEAM SIX: Matt Bissonnette on the Bin Laden Mission, War & Life After the SEALs

EPISODE 45 — MATT BISSONNETTE What does it really take to become a Navy SEAL—and what happens when you’re selected for one of the most elite special operations units in the world? In Episode 45 of Just Talking with Joe Burdick, I sit down with Matt Bissonnette, retired U.S. Navy SEAL and former member of SEAL Team Six, for a raw, honest and fascinating conversation about his journey through the SEALs and his role in Operation Neptune Spear—the mission that killed Osama bin Laden. We go back to the beginning: BUD/S, Hell Week, becoming a SEAL, the road to SEAL Team Six, and what separates the world’s most elite special operators from everyone else. Then we get into the training, preparation and execution of the bin Laden mission—and what it was like to be part of a moment that changed history. We also talk about his books No Easy Day, No Hero and No Easy Way, life after the military, the weight of carrying those experiences home, and what people who have never served can never truly understand about combat and brotherhood. No scripted questions. No political spin. Just two veterans sitting down and talking. This is Matt Bissonnette beyond the headlines. 🇺🇸 SEAL. Warrior. Author. Survivor. This is Episode 45 of Just Talking with Joe Burdick. Honest. Raw. Interesting. ‪@USNavy‬ ‪@mattbissonnetteofficial‬ #binladen #seals #elite #sealteamsix #neptunespear #afghanistan #waronterror #gwot
