From Battlefield to Breakthrough: Jared Ogden's Mission to Revolutionize Training
In this week's Team Never Quit episode, Marcus & Melanie welcome Jared Ogden, CEO of Triumph Systems and former U.S. Navy SEAL, to the show.
Jared's remarkable journey from leading missions in Afghanistan to leading one of the most innovative training companies in the country is a story of resilience, vision, and transformation. Drawing from real-world tactical experience, Jared created Triumph Systems and the Brass Training System with a singular goal: to enhance the training and preparation of military and law enforcement personnel.
In this episode, Jared shares how instinctual decisions made during deployments shaped his approach to developing cutting-edge training tools that emphasize life-saving decision-making under pressure. He reflects on his transition from being the "arrow" on the battlefield to becoming the "archer" — equipping today’s warriors with the tools they need to succeed. Jared also discusses how Triumph Systems bridges the gap between elite training and accessibility, offering solutions that don't require massive budgets or facilities.
If you're passionate about leadership, innovation, or serving those who protect us, you won’t want to miss this inspiring conversation with a true trailblazer who’s changing the future of tactical training.

In This Episode You Will Hear:
• My parents encouraged the kids to find what they’re interested in, to be productive and to live a productive, rewarding life. (5:50).
• The more you can overlap what you’re interested in, and what you’re good at, with what someone will pay you to do, the more successful you will be. (6:05)
At a very early age, I knew what I wanted to do when I grew up. I knew that I wanted to be a Navy SEAL. (7:26)
• I was the honor graduate for my Leatherneck class. (22:49)
• I was yelling at people, and barking out things and orders. Dan walked up to me nonchalantly and said “Jared, calmness is contagious, just talk.” I’ll never forget that. (36:54)
• [During the] first turnover op between us and 7, Dan stepped on a pressure plate. Honestly, he should’ve died that day, but there was a tremendous effort [to help him]. (37:23)
• Do the right thing. In that case, the right thing landed me in a spot on this television show for 2 seasons. (48:08)
• We gotta figure out who we’re gonna take. Problem is there’s no targets, nothing to shoot. So, we take water bottles, piss in them, put ‘em on a fence. And the first handful of guys, commandos, that could shout those from 50 yards – those are the guys that rolled with us. (52:14)
• I’m a warfighter. I’m not an engineer. But along the journey I met some guys who were product engineers. [We developed] a recreational division and a government division – making turning target systems and other targets and software, making people more proficient with their firearms. (53:33)
• Decision-making is one of the most important metrics of people who carry firearms professionally. (61:23)
• The one common ingredient that I have for everything that I’ve done in my life is to do your best. (66:24)
