Lead on Purpose with James Laughlin Former Navy Seal Brent Gleeson Recap: How to Embrace the Suck
How to Embrace the Suck with Former Navy Seal Brent Gleeson
Brent Gleeson is a former US Navy Seal. He is also a best-selling author of 2 incredible books, and an award winning entrepreneur.
Brent is an incredible human. In our conversation he opened up about the pain and suffering he experienced in the Navy, and how he learned to welcome that pain and really celebrate it. That life lesson inspired him to write his best-selling book “Embrace the Suck.”
He has learned so many lessons throughout his years as a Navy Seal, and he is now applying them to teams within the business and corporate sphere.
Brent speaks of forming world-class routines. There are a lot of leaders who say they are going to achieve the incredible goal, and give their staff all of the amazing resources and training that they deserve, but then they never follow through and put those routines in place. This is where Brent comes in.
Brent is incredibly passionate about leadership and high-performance. This is a podcast that everyone can learn from. Please share this with three of your friends.
