031 Chris Osman Part I

About this video

Mike Ritland interviews Chris Osmond, a former Marine and Navy SEAL who now runs Chris Osmond Designs specializing in motorcycle and tactical gear. The two reconnect after years apart, sharing stories from their time together at BUD/S and deployments. They discuss hazing incidents Osmond experienced, training philosophies, motorcycle preferences, workout routines, diet habits, and Osmond’s transition from creating Tactical Assault Gear (TAG) to his current design business.

Key takeaways

• Osmond attributes his early interest in becoming a SEAL to reading ‘The Element of Surprise’ by Darrel Young in junior high, about Vietnam-era SEAL operations
• The two recall hazing culture in the Teams, including Osmond’s account of zip-tying and spray-painting their platoon’s assistant officer in charge while stationed at Fallon, Nevada
• Osmond describes his current routine: avoiding morning news to prevent negative mindset, doing home CrossFit-style workouts rather than gym training, and practicing intermittent fasting while avoiding dairy and processed meats
