In this episode of Making Shooters Better, we sit down with former Navy SEAL Perry Yee, who didn’t follow the typical path into elite service—and nearly had his journey ended multiple times by injury and illness. From starting with zero firearms experience to enduring three brutal Hell Weeks, Perry shares what resilience actually looks like under pressure. But this conversation goes far beyond BUD/S. After his military service, Perry continued his mission in a different way—building organizations that support Gold Star families and help everyday people take responsibility for their own safety at home. If you’ve ever wondered what separates those who quit from those who push through… this episode delivers real answers. In this episode, we cover: • Perry’s unconventional path into the Navy SEALs • What Hell Week is really like—and why he went through it three times • The truth about mental toughness and why most people get it wrong • How humor helps you survive extreme stress • What combat taught him about perspective and gratitude • The biggest myths about elite performers • Why home defense starts with mindset, not gear • The reality of stress, fear, and decision-making under pressure • Building purpose after service through mentorship and community Perry is also the founder of Active Valor, a nonprofit pairing veterans with children of fallen heroes, and Fortified Measures, where he brings practical home defense training directly to families. Watch now and learn what it really means to protect what matters most. Make sure to subscribe for more episodes of Making Shooters Better.
