Chad Sorentino (00:00):
Chad, thank you so much. Great to be on.
Sevan Matossian (00:03):
My dad’s visiting from out of town, and then at the last minute, then he woke up like five minutes before the show started, and then I looked at him like, this man needs a cup of coffee, so I apologize
Chad Sorentino (00:14):
Fucking
Sevan Matossian (00:15):
Late. But papa, his coffee. You can’t leave a man without coffee at seven. Oh,
Chad Sorentino (00:20):
I got mine right here.
Sevan Matossian (00:21):
Nice. Nice. Hey, what state are you in?
Chad Sorentino (00:25):
Florida? Miami Lakes, Florida.
Sevan Matossian (00:27):
Oh, awesome. I think you’ve been on my radar since I started the podcast and I think people have been telling me, dude, you got to get this guy, Chad on the podcast. You got to get this guy chat on the podcast. And I know we have a little bit of a relationship through Instagram, so great to finally meet you. And as I dug into you the first thing, I couldn’t believe that you’re already retired from the US military. You did 21
Chad Sorentino (00:57):
Years. Yeah, I retired officially in December of last year.
Sevan Matossian (01:03):
I can’t believe how young you look. And you’ve already had that under your belt. That’s crazy, dude. Congratulations.
Chad Sorentino (01:09):
Thank you.
Sevan Matossian (01:11):
How old are you?
Chad Sorentino (01:12):
40.
Sevan Matossian (01:13):
Wow. So you went in at 19, if my math is correct.
Chad Sorentino (01:17):
Well, so I grew up in Columbus, Ohio. I grew up in a really, really nice area, had a great family, great school, and the norm was everyone just goes to Ohio State, ou, a really nice school within the area. And I had planned on going to Toledo or Marshall for sports broadcasting. And September 11th happened my senior year. And so it happened September 11th. My birthday was September 28th, I think like October 10th, I enlisted, enlisted in the Army. And then I had that entire year to kind of finish and then I went off to bootcamp.
Sevan Matossian (01:59):
Can you remember, Chad, will you pronounce your last name for me?
Chad Sorentino (02:04):
Sorrentino.
Sevan Matossian (02:05):
Sorrentino. Oh, that’s easy. Chad, will you tell me what that was like being 19 years old? Nine 11. And what inspired going to enlisting? Is that what it’s called? Enlisting.
Chad Sorentino (02:19):
Yeah, enlisting, yeah. Because you go to the officer track or you go to the enlisted track. And I remember I was always like the kid that was, I was always super smart, but I just didn’t apply myself. I had my rolled up homework that I didn’t do in my back pocket. I would ask the cute girl for a pencil in class and then I would get really good grades on tests. And I was always a kid that was always in the hallway. In fact, my mom even would come to school and I’d be in the hallway in math class, I’d be getting in trouble. So I never really had this trajectory. I just thought I would go to college and do something. But I always had just a great appreciation for the military because grandpa served and all my uncle served too as well. And I remember I was sitting in music appreciation class and we were just kind of hanging out.
(03:08):
I think we were getting ready to do a project and the teacher wheels into tv and we’re just watching it and we’re just kind of dumbfounded by it. And then the second plane hit and then the Pentagon hit. And then I was like, this is for some reason, whatever happened to me. I was like, this is the real deal. And everyone kind of freaked out. And my mom told me, and I vaguely remember this, but my mom told me that I called her because I had called the middle school down the road and the elementary school just to ask how my two sisters were. And I called my mom from a payphone and I said, Hey, we’re all okay. And from that moment forward, I think my mom kind of realized, oh, he’s got a different path. And I remember it was the most cliche army recruiting thing that they’ve ever done. I want to say three days after the army came and explained to our school what happened, and I was like, look, I got to do this. And from that moment forward, you know what I mean? I haven’t looked back and I’ve been serving ever since in some capacity, some way.
Sevan Matossian (04:22):
It’s interesting, I was talking to someone just yesterday and they were talking about how desperate situations, how desperate, they’re like how desperate must situations be in South America and Latin America that people would travel up from there and make the journey to the United States. And I said, I hear you, but bear with me. At 20 years old, me and four of my friends who lived in Argentina would’ve one night sitting around, got the harebrained idea that we’re going to go to the US border and we would’ve done it as a 20-year-old man met, boy, you’ll just make decisions. We don’t care. At 23, I didn’t care if there would’ve been anarchy in the United States. I just didn’t. Young men are just a different breed. We’re not, go ahead, go ahead.
Chad Sorentino (05:20):
You haven’t experienced consequence yet. The biggest consequence you have is your girlfriend caught you passing a note to another girl. I mean, or three calling was invented
Sevan Matossian (05:32):
Or God, you’re old passing a
Chad Sorentino (05:35):
Note. God, you’re old. So I remember my parents when I got my car, they didn’t really have a curfew, but they said, Hey, look, we’re going to kick in that door at six in the morning every day and you’re going to go to school. And my dad was a motivational speaker and my first car was a Ford Windstar and his company’s called Humor Consultants. It was all over the van. And so that was my first car, but I had to pay for gas and I think I had to pay for insurance later on, so I had to have a job. So you
Sevan Matossian (06:01):
Said, Hey, it’s a van. You had a van.
Chad Sorentino (06:04):
Oh yeah. It was called a humor van. We used to jump the railroad tracks. I mean, it was kind of like a thing if you jumped the railroad tracks in the humor van. But yeah, so
Sevan Matossian (06:15):
I knew kids who drove every kind of car. I never knew a kid who drove a minivan. That’s wild.
Chad Sorentino (06:21):
It was the middle green one, but white. And then it had lettering all over it. And then my friends would call and prank and say that I was up to no good. I just saw your company car run over a dog. And I’d be up in my room and my dad would yell down at me. He’s like, Hey, why am I getting this phone call? And then it’d be come back. It was just my friends pranking. But growing up and having them kind of teach me consequence, if I were to stay up late, they’re still kicking in the door and I have to go to school. If I didn’t go to a job, then I don’t get gas in my car. I don’t get to go play with my friends. I’m not good at wrestling if I stay up too late. You know what I mean? So they really taught me the value of consequences. But still, when I still enlisted, I had no clue about any consequence that could come by way.
Sevan Matossian (07:14):
You wrestled in high school?
Chad Sorentino (07:16):
Yes.
Sevan Matossian (07:17):
All four years,
Chad Sorentino (07:19):
Three years. I wrestled 112 pounds.
Sevan Matossian (07:21):
Wow. And which years did you wrestle? Sophomore, junior, senior or
Chad Sorentino (07:26):
Sophomore? Junior. Senior. Freshman year I played soccer and then I tried out for the hockey team my sophomore year and I didn’t make it. I was the smallest kid out there, and I was always in the penalty box. My dad said, he’s like, I’m not coming to the game. If you’re just going to sit in a penalty box,
Sevan Matossian (07:47):
What would you get penalties for?
Chad Sorentino (07:49):
Just being aggressive. You’re not good. So you run around and you try to be aggressive, but then
Sevan Matossian (07:57):
No, I don’t. But I can imagine I don’t, but I can imagine.
Chad Sorentino (08:00):
But no, then wrestling took off and then I was really good at that. And that’s where kind of established discipline came in. You didn’t get to have Thanksgiving because you were beginning to cut weight and it didn’t matter what you ate, it mattered how much it weighed. So when the coach would say you could have a half a slice of pizza, it was the greatest thing. So I think that’s where a lot of my internal discipline and self-awareness began.
Sevan Matossian (08:27):
Danielle, Chad is the goat caution CrossFit. That’s where you train caution CrossFit.
Chad Sorentino (08:33):
Yeah, I’m the general manager there. We have two locations.
Sevan Matossian (08:36):
Crazy. And how long have you been the general manager there?
Chad Sorentino (08:41):
Since I retired at the center.
Sevan Matossian (08:43):
Oh, okay. I
Chad Sorentino (08:44):
Made a really, really big decision days up to me leaving Miami or not. And it came down to a beautiful woman in a community that I just felt right to stay at.
Sevan Matossian (09:00):
And that beautiful woman’s your wife?
Chad Sorentino (09:02):
No, it’s my girlfriend.
Sevan Matossian (09:03):
Girlfriend for me. They’re all interchangeable. Girlfriend?
Chad Sorentino (09:08):
Yeah,
Sevan Matossian (09:09):
It’s wife, fiance. Okay. I was with my girlfriend 20 years before we got married, so for me it just became just a, I’ll still accidentally call her my girlfriend.
Chad Sorentino (09:21):
You can call your ex-girlfriend because she’s your wife. Answer
Sevan Matossian (09:25):
Truth facts. Yeah. Hey, so it sounded like your parents trusted you and they were proud of your grades. Why do you think wrestling stuck? Because kind of hard. Why do you think that stuck? Not kind of hard. It’s brutally hard in school’s. Like you show up there and the coaches run 10 miles right In practice as you started
Chad Sorentino (09:51):
And then you’re just doing. And why I’m good at burpees today is because of wrestling. I would say burpees and running are probably my two things that I’m really good at. And I think it was hard, and I think that’s why I liked it. I think it was difficult. I think I had that sense of validation. I think when I went home, I knew I was giving my effort. It wasn’t easy. And it was something that I think just came naturally and that allowed me every day to meet that challenge because school was easy, school was easy. You got to go hang out with your friends and you got to laugh and you got to flirt and you really didn’t need to do homework. And then especially you’re going to join the army. I’m just waiting until I join the army. So I think that hard aspect and that difficulty is what drove me to it.
Sevan Matossian (10:39):
Hey, that’s crazy. That is summed. School was not easy for me, but I loved school for those two reasons. For me. I got to hang out with my friends and I got to see girls. And to be honest, that’s all I really cared about. I wish I would’ve had wrestling. I think that would’ve been an a good piece of balance to it. But I didn’t play any sports. But you’re right. I just loved going and seeing my friends and seeing girls. That’s it.
Chad Sorentino (11:05):
That was it.
Sevan Matossian (11:06):
Especially new girls, like a new girl showed up.
Chad Sorentino (11:08):
Oh yeah. And they didn’t know that you were a dork or anything like that.
Sevan Matossian (11:12):
Yeah, exactly. Already people are making fun of you in the comments. Let me see. There was a great one in here already. Let me see if I can find this. Jake Chapman. Never nice to the guests. I think Chad needs a bigger watch. Are you wearing a giant watch? There you go. There you go. Thank you, Jake, for welcoming our hosts. Hazing. Every guest that comes on the show, I appreciate it. No, Chad does not have any piercings.
Chad Sorentino (11:41):
No, I do not.
Sevan Matossian (11:45):
I don’t even know that and I know that. So you go in and it’s, do you remember your day, your first day in the Army, what the date was for that?
Chad Sorentino (11:58):
October 22nd? Oh, sorry. October 23rd, 2002, I left what is called it’s meps. It’s like the military enlisted processing station. And you get on, I don’t remember if we flew or took a bus to Ohio to Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. And I remember it was really late at night when we got off and you go into a reception unit and you stay there for a couple of days. And I remember I just had the worst stomach pains, just nervousness. And then I’ll never forget this. And then when I became a drill sergeant, I would do the same thing. But when we got picked up by our drill sergeants, we got put into a big cattle van. So it’s like where they big cattle, semi-truck trailer, and then a trailer would be where they would put cattle, but they had fixed it to put to transport soldiers. So we would go from the reception battalion to what we call the actual company for our shark attack for when the drill sergeant yelled us and the drill sergeant was so nice to us.
(12:58):
He’s like, yeah, come on in, move to the back. Everyone’s got their duffle bag. Okay. And you just get there and just take a seat, sit down, and then you were hiding your head and you would peek up and the drill sergeant would be like, Hey, how you doing? And then as soon as we made the final turn, boom, he just went off and just went full sin yelling at us. And I’m like, this is it. And so when I became a drill sergeant, I would do the same thing. I would get them on and I would be all nice to them like, Hey, I doing Yeah, yeah, sit down. Don’t worry about it. Yeah, you’ll get your cell phones. Don’t worry. If you need to make a phone call, go ahead. And as soon as we made that same turn 10 years later, I just went off and I was always obviously the shortest one, so I always had to establish myself as kind of the crazy one. You know what I mean? I was with all these other drill sergeants that were just monsters. And so I always had to establish myself as the wild one.
Sevan Matossian (13:55):
So you go in there. Were your parents pissed that you signed up? This is the army.
Chad Sorentino (13:59):
This is the army. My dad was super proud. My dad was really, really proud and my mom was just scared. My mom’s just a worrier at heart. Wash her hands all the time, take your shoes off. But I think she was really worried, but I think she also had some real-time resiliency within her own life because her father went to World War ii and then all three of her brothers had enlisted and been to and back from Vietnam. So that was something that that was something. And then her middle brother, uncle David, actually made a career out of it for a while. And so I think she had that to hang her hat on and saw how great of men, all four of them had turned out and they were really proud. And like I said, the community I grew up in, no one really joined the army because it was kind of like, I don’t want to say this in a bad way, but it was kind of like a lower class thing that you would do, especially in central Ohio where you’re growing up in these beautiful homes. It was kind of different. I was kind of the first of my kind out of that area for a while, and then more people hadn’t enlisted after that.
Sevan Matossian (15:08):
Sure. Why would you go to the army and jeopardize your life if things are good? If things are shitty and you’re living in an apartment with five kids and a single mom and you turned 18 and you’re like, shit, I got to get out of here. The stepdad’s been beating you your whole life. I’m guessing that’s just the typical story. It’s someone looking for something better, looking for a place almost. It’s like a vacation looking from reprieve from the hardships of life.
Chad Sorentino (15:40):
Well get
Sevan Matossian (15:41):
Security, everything. Yeah.
Chad Sorentino (15:43):
I mean, you get everything and then you get this, this amazing leadership person in front of you. You get this drill sergeant, whether it’s a male or female, who’s there for you when you wake up and when you go to bed and they’re there to take care of you from morning to night and keep you safe,
Sevan Matossian (16:03):
And they tell you to do something and you don’t have to think, you just do it. Just
Chad Sorentino (16:06):
Do it super easy.
Sevan Matossian (16:08):
You just do it. Yeah.
(16:12):
Yeah. Wild. I’m trying to think if I ever, I remember going to the post office and registering for the draft at 18, but I don’t think I ever, once I considered actually going to the military, for me, it seemed like as soon as I think about going to the military, the very next thing is, am I going to die? Right? That’s the first. It just literally goes from one thought to the other. I’m going in the army, I’m going to die, or I’m going to be put in a situation where it’s going to be me and a field facing another guy with a gun and one of us isn’t going home. I mean, that’s what I just go right there.
Chad Sorentino (16:45):
I wonder if it has to do with the time as well, because if it’s during this global war terrorism where deployments were a constant thing, but then there was the nineties during the be all You can be where we were kind of at peace time for a while and it was kind of more of just like a profession or a career in a way more than it’s life or death or this harrowing thing.
Sevan Matossian (17:10):
And I didn’t know anyone who went, so I grew up in the Bay Area in California, and so yeah, those people were just different. The whole entire community where I live was anti-military ton of respect for cops, ton of respect for firefighters, but we were basically just all anti-military. It was like Reagan’s the bad guy. We shouldn’t be investing any money into the military. I mean, that’s how I was raised, that Reagan was basically the devil and we just went around and killed people. When you went in, did you know that you were going to stay in for 20 years?
Chad Sorentino (17:54):
No. Had you? No. And I remember I even got out, so I even got out, I got out for eight months. My first enlistment I had done back to back deployments. I was on the Fort Bragg special reaction team. I was just busy, busy, busy. And I was married, and we had just came back from Iraq together and it was my time to get out and I was just kind of over it. And I was kind of, at that time I was very new to the leadership persona and a leadership model and understanding what true leadership was. And I was a little bit more selfish than I was self-serving or servant. And I got out and I remember we had moved to Louisville, Kentucky to Fort Knox, and it was in 2008. I remember when the market crashed and there was no jobs, and I was so naive. I was like, oh, police, because I was military police. I was like, oh, so a police company, they’ll hire me, a police force will hire me. And then no one was hiring. So I ended up selling cars for a few months and it was fun. I went
Sevan Matossian (19:00):
Really, really? I would think that too, that you could just get out of the military, especially. You were an mp, is that what it is? I just know that the movie, yeah,
Chad Sorentino (19:08):
It was at a hiring freeze. I went to all the local places. I started to go through the Louisville Metro police process. I took the PT test, I took the pre polygraph worksheet, but in the meantime, I needed to make money. And I remember one day I look over and my ex-wife’s putting on her boots and I’m putting on a tie and I’m like, dude, come on. You’re a Ws. You know what I mean? You need to get back in. And when I got back in, I had a new sense of, I had a complete new sense of appreciation for the military. I had a new sense of leadership. I had a new sense of just who I was as a human being. And from then on, that’s when it became a career. And that’s when I just devoted so much, so, so much to giving to my soldiers and giving to the community.
Sevan Matossian (20:06):
Hey, no detail. Too small. What are all the positions you held in the military starting from when you get in, what are you called? Into the army.
Chad Sorentino (20:17):
So you’re enlisted. When you come in, you’re enlisted.
Sevan Matossian (20:20):
So you have, and that’s the title, just an enlisted man? No,
Chad Sorentino (20:22):
You’re enlisted, man. But your titles are private. So you start out as an E one and it goes all the way to E nine. Those are called the enlisted positions. So think of it as like a pay grade almost. So E one, E 2 83. From there, there’s actual titles within those pay grades,
Sevan Matossian (20:38):
Sorry. And do you get more authority as those go up? Also,
Chad Sorentino (20:42):
You really don’t get more authority until you hit E five, which is a sergeant. And that’s when you become what is called a non-commissioned officer. And that is when you become a leader, you actually take an oath, you get promoted. That’s where in the military police realm, you’re a team leader and you’re in charge of two soldiers.
Sevan Matossian (20:59):
Okay, bear with me here, bear with me here. Of course. So when you go from E one to E four in TaeKwonDo, if you just put in the time you get the belts,
Chad Sorentino (21:09):
I did TaeKwonDo. Yeah, I did TaeKwonDo growing up.
Sevan Matossian (21:11):
Yeah, in Jiujitsu, it’s not like that in Jiujitsu. It doesn’t matter how much time you put in. If they don’t think you’re good enough, you don’t move up in the army. How is it going from E one to E five? Is it just putting in the time or is there a samari component
Chad Sorentino (21:27):
From E one to E four? It’s basically putting in the time. As long as you don’t have a DUI, you’re not a POS, you’re not doing something illegal I and moral or unethical, you’re going to make it to specialists. You’re going to make it to E four to make it to sergeant, you have to have a certain, and it has changed over the years, so I could be wrong, but you have to go to what is called a promotion board. So you have your packet, you dress up in your uniform, you sit in front of a panel of e eights and e nines, the highest people within your battalion, which is like a thousand people. And they just fire off questions. And it’s
Sevan Matossian (22:10):
Normally, this is to go from E four to E five, not E one. E two E, okay. No,
Chad Sorentino (22:14):
No, no, no. So then from there, based upon your confidence more than anything, I mean, you can almost get all that. When I sat on the boards, when I was reviewing people getting promoted, if you came in and you told me that you utilize your arms to press out to do a squat, but you told me as confident as anything, I’m like, look, this person is super confident. As long as they meet the standards, we will give ’em a go to proceed. But you come in and you get asked basic army questions. You go through some scenario questions, maybe some hands-on from there, the board will recommend you to sergeant, and then you have to meet a certain number of points in. The big army will put out that military police for e fives for the month of September have to meet 550 points. And if private or if specialist sorrentino meets that criteria, then he’ll get promoted that next month. So that occurs for E five and E six for sergeant and staff. Sergeant,
Sevan Matossian (23:14):
Did you get, when you went in front of the board to become an E five, did you get it the very first time?
Chad Sorentino (23:20):
Yeah, I did. I did. And I actually had a big, big knee brace on too. So when I had to stand up and do facing movements, it was pretty funny. I had torn up my knee a couple of days prior.
Sevan Matossian (23:30):
And how did you do that?
Chad Sorentino (23:34):
Playing basketball.
Sevan Matossian (23:35):
Okay. Just on the base?
Chad Sorentino (23:37):
Yeah, just on the base for just pt.
Sevan Matossian (23:39):
Okay. And you presented well, you presented confident, you weren’t fat, you presented well, your hair was nice, eye,
Chad Sorentino (23:46):
Eye contact. Air was nice. I was shaved. I sat like this, and I answered all the questions I was supposed to.
Sevan Matossian (23:52):
Can you give me an example of a question? They might ask anything
Chad Sorentino (23:56):
Within your own words, how would you define leadership?
Sevan Matossian (23:58):
Wow. Wow. And do you study for that test?
Chad Sorentino (24:03):
Yeah. You do. You do. And then there’s different manuals that we have within the military. Something else would be, example would be what is the cyclic function of the M four rifle? And then you would talk about how you would feed in the magazine. You would chamber that round into the chamber, then you would fire it, and you would kind of go through that.
Sevan Matossian (24:21):
And like I
Chad Sorentino (24:21):
Said, you could get some wrong, I mean, because no one’s perfect, but it is how you display yourself. It’s confidence. It’s how you wear your uniform. It’s also questions too, like basic military history. Do you have a care? Do you take the military as a profession rather than just something that you’re doing?
Sevan Matossian (24:37):
Do they ask you straight up then, hey, I dunno what they call you, but E four sorrentino, do you plan on staying in 20 years? Would they ask you
Chad Sorentino (24:47):
That? That is a question. That is something too. That is kind of back in the day, if you were to say, you know what? I don’t plan on making this career. I kind of want to do eight years. The old kind of draconian leadership was like, well, why would I promote you? Why would I want to waste money? And why would we want to do this and waste time now to where it’s more of, I wouldn’t say it’s softer, but I would say it’s more of leadership is complicated, and it’s not the same for everybody. So you never know. You could have the best leader that has been in the military for eight years, but if you cut him off at a lower rank and you don’t allow him to have soldiers around him that he can inspire or she can inspire, then you’re not doing a good service. You know what I mean? To the military,
Sevan Matossian (25:33):
What’s interesting, what I realized about leadership, I’d never even heard the word leadership until I was, I don’t know, I’ll make this up, but in my forties somewhere, it just wasn’t in my vernacular. I never used the word leadership. I would never use it. But now that I’m 52, I realize one of the most powerful choices we have as a human being is who to pick as our leader. Because you get to choose your leader. And that’s because you have to lead yourself.
Chad Sorentino (26:10):
So God, that’s so true. Well, that’s emotional intelligence. That’s having that self-awareness and having that understanding of who you are and the clarity and who you can be. You have to be able to, for one, lead yourself, but then also be led to be a leader. Just like when a coach takes a class of another coach, you’re a member. You’re essentially a member within that class. And that’s something we always work really hard at our gym too, is making sure that you can be led, you can be taught, you can be coached.
Sevan Matossian (26:50):
It’s a trip. And I am trying to think, I’m guessing there’s people who embody leadership habits, and we’ll get into that in a second, what those habits are and define leadership. But there’s people who embody leadership habits and behaviors and people start to follow them. And then there’s people who fake leadership. So when I was put into a leadership position at CrossFit, I just faked it. I didn’t know.
Chad Sorentino (27:20):
You don’t think people were not just
Sevan Matossian (27:23):
Compet around you or No. So there was the media team there and it was big. And I’d been on the media team forever. And then when I became a leader, my thought was the only thing just to make them happy. That was my definition of leadership was, Hey, just make sure everyone’s happy. And there’s a piece to it there. But since then, in my mentor in leadership, Dave Castro, because I watched him lead, that was never a component of his leadership.
