Shawn Ryan served as a Navy SEAL for almost six years.
He endured one of the most intense training programs known in the military world, Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL training, or BUD/S.
After seeing combat in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Haiti, Ryan left the Navy and worked as a contractor for the CIA.
After leaving the military, Ryan began abusing drugs, chasing the adrenaline highs he'd experienced as a SEAL.
Today, he runs a YouTube channel and a podcast, "The Shawn Ryan Show."
