Greg “Vick” Navickas leads human performance for U.S. Air Force Special Warfare training and is the founder of Echotyr, a platform built to connect operators and high performers with elite training, performance, and support resources.

In this episode, we break down how modern warfighters are trained more like tactical athletes, why sleep is the true foundation of performance, how brain health and traumatic brain injury are changing readiness, and why future conflict demands a different level of human resilience.

Vick shares how military performance systems translate to business, sport, and leadership, along with how Echotyr is helping bridge the gap between elite operational knowledge and real-world application.
