Errol Doebler: Leadership Lessons from a Former Navy SEAL and FBI Agent

The David Spisak Show

What does it really take to go beyond your limits and lead under the most intense pressure? In this episode, I sit down with Errol Doebler, a man who has redefined what it means to lead. From serving as a Navy SEAL to tracking terrorists as an FBI agent, and now as the founder of Ice Cold Leader, Errol’s journey is one of grit, resilience, and relentless pursuit of excellence.

We dive into the defining moments that shaped his path—from flipping through a Naval Academy book in sixth grade to surviving Hell Week in SEAL training, where 70% of candidates quit. Errol shares what sets Navy SEALs apart, not just physically but mentally. He talks about the importance of never letting quitting become an option, a mindset that’s carried him through life-threatening missions and into his new career as a leadership coach.

For those of you who’ve been with me for years, you know I don’t throw around the word “transformational” lightly, but this episode is just that. Errol’s unique approach to leadership isn’t just for the battlefield—it’s for the boardroom, your team, your family, and even your own personal growth. He shares how the lessons learned in special operations apply to all of us, from solving everyday problems to overcoming life's toughest challenges.

If you’ve ever wondered how the best of the best think, act, and lead when the stakes are highest, you’re not going to want to miss this one.
