Episode notes

Scott Mann is a return SRS guest and retired Lt. Col. / Green Beret with an impressive military career that spanned over two decades, including multiple combat deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan. Renowned for his leadership and expertise in unconventional warfare, Mann has dedicated his life to serving others, both in and out of uniform.

After retiring, he became a prominent advocate for veterans, focusing on mental health and the challenges they face after returning home. Mann co-founded Pineapple Express, an initiative that helped evacuate Afghan allies and their families during the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. This grassroots effort highlighted his commitment to supporting those who stood by U.S. forces during their service.

In addition to his advocacy work, Mann authored "Nobody Is Coming to Save You: A Green Beret's Guide to Getting Big Sh*t Done," a powerful book that emphasizes personal responsibility and the importance of taking action in the face of adversity. Drawing from his military experiences and the lessons learned through his work with Pineapple Express, Mann inspires readers to become proactive in their own lives and communities.
