Published 2024-01-29
Dom Raso is a former SEAL Team Six / DEVGRU Operator whose career spans across twelve years and multiple combat deployments during the Global War on Terror. Raso served in Gold Squadron, an outfit that suffered a staggering loss during an attack on August 6, 2011 when a Chinook CH-47 (call sign: Extortion 17) was shot down by insurgents. This was the most devastating day in SEAL Team Six history, as well as the single largest loss of life for U.S. forces since the war in Afghanistan began in 2001.

Raso is well known for his contributions to DEVGRU in the way of research and development and combative techniques. Post his military career, he took those same lessons learned to create his brand Crush Everything / Dynamis Alliance. As CEO, Raso seeks to prepare the next generation by embracing sacrifice and using it as a positive energy to "crush everything" that he does.

    As a SEAL widow I can verify that they are indeed my family. These guys and the wives have helped me so much. We have formed a wonderful tribe. I love them.
  • @SemperGumby3118
    I watched the towers come down sitting in my HS senior history class, I promptly went to the Marine recruiter and joined delayed entry until I graduated. Less than 11mo later I was in MCRD SD. 6mo later I was on the border of Iraq before the invasion. Thanks SRS and guests for the outstanding interviews, it has helped this Marine grow and evolve. Now have cancer so the fight must go on! Best wishes Semper Fi.
  • @KarlHungus.
    Lost my best friend last year. Got drunk and stared at the wall for many months. Made it about me. Dom's words helped me tremendously today. So grateful for the SRS. God bless you all.
  • @nationwood7460
    I’m amazed at how articulate and composed Dom is. It’s always sad to see combat vets on SRS dealing with service related TBI. Watching them lose their train of thought or have trouble with memory is heartbreaking, but Dom seems to be very sharp and clear-headed despite his 10+ years of service. Thank you for your sacrifice 🇺🇸
  • @Dustingreeze14
    Shawn, former infantry marine myself. You’re doing more for vets with this show alone than any politician in the last 50 years. Been waiting for this banger!
  • I remember when Shawn was telling me how to set up my AR and now he’s got 2.2 million subscribers this is frigin spectacular.
  • Hi Shawn, my name is Riccardo and i'm writing to you from Italy. I have always had great respect for those who join the armed forces, my father was a "Folgore paratrooper" in the Italian army, during the military draft and he passed on to me many values ​​that he learned in that period, thanks to the army. Unfortunately, my dad passed away a few years ago due to illness and since then, videos like the ones you make on your show are a source of great inspiration for me, because it's as if his words resonate through your guests; your program is helping me a lot, from the point of view of the "right approach to life", especially videos like this one with guest Dom ( in which I see a lot of my dad's character ), have made me reflect a lot on the topic of "Faith" . So really thank you so much for your content, i'm very grateful to you and your guests.
  • If you think I’m just gonna sit here and watch 5 hours of this interview.. you’re damn right I will! 🔥🔥🔥
  • @jillklann4516
    I’m the widow of BMC Gerhard Klann. He was a plank owner of ST6. I am really enjoying your broadcasts. Hope to see you at a reunion !
  • @mda1501
    I enlisted at the ripe age of 21. Always wanted flight school, finally made it, dream come true. Retired 30 plus years later as a CW5 Master Army Aviator AH64/UH60 driver with 3 combat tours. It was worth every minute!
  • @user-un4kk7kp1k
    My favorite guest thus far. I hope he is the man he presents himself to be.
  • @MonkeyEmpires
    I did not expect to have my faith revitalized when I started watching this 5 1/2 hour podcast. I loved every minute.
  • @user-gn8iw5vh1r
    I'd like to see Dom and Eddie get together and reminisce with Shawn

  • Wow. Really no words - the power of the podcast is beyond words, and explanation. The work of God was surely working in this episode through you both. I recently (I’m 26, husband, dad) found christ. Almost same timing as Shawn. Been a listener since day one. What a truly incredible testimony both these men share. Dom blew me away… already knew Shawn’s brilliance and faith in Christ, but Doms way of explaining and talking about his walk with God was simply inspiring to be as he and Shawn are. I have written both Shawn and doms names in my prayer book. Love these two brothers in Christ and pray one day I can ask my own questions to them. Weather on earth or in heaven together! Keep this content up. It’s the best I’ve ever come across! God bless you both, and your families.
  • @R_Ortizzz
    I remember hearing Dom on the Ritland podcast while driving my daughter on the parkway for hours at 3am because she wouldn't sleep when she was a baby and i can honestly say it changed my life, everything these warriors been through is insane, true heroes in my eyes
  • @Valach38
    This has become my fave Podcast , I come here before looking at Joe Rogan, or any of the other ones!!! Thank you for what you do!!
  • Unforgettable talk. Warrior, Man of honor, Head of family, Brother in arms. He exudes a humility that only the great can produce. For my part, just one word, Admiration. Thank you for your service Dom.
