Living with a SEAL: 31 Days Training with the Toughest Man on the Planet

by Jesse Itzler

have to be at work at 7:00 a.m. for a breakfast meeting (well, the guy I’m meeting will have breakfast, I will be having fruit), and SEAL makes me wear the weight vest to the office today. He wears the one he borrowed from the guy at the gym. Mine’s under my jacket. SEAL just wears his vest over a T-shirt. We walk around Columbus Circle over toward my office on Park Avenue. It’s not a bad walk, but today we stand out. I think we look like suicide bombers from a J.J. Abrams movie. Shoulder to shoulder, black guy, white guy, down Park Avenue looking like we’re going to blow some shit up just for the sake of blowing some shit up. We are walking with some purpose down the street.
