EP 524: Nick Kush

The Mindset of an Explosive Ordnance Device Specialist

Imagine kneeling before a bomb. Your job, deactivate. How do you calm your nerves? Nick Kush was a Seal Team Explosive Ordnance Device Technician serving 20 years in Special Ops. With combat tours to Iraq and Afghanistan, Nick was the EOD for Task Unit Bruiser under the command of JOCKO Willink in Ramadi. The EODs are the guys called to deactivate an IED improvised explosive device or bomb. After retiring, Nick trained Special Ops personnel in advanced parachuting. He has well over 10,000 jumps and was the project lead for The Triple 7 Expedition, a 168-hour skydiving journey led by a team of former special operators and skydiving veterans who completed seven jumps in seven days on seven continents.
