Ep 524 – Jason Gardner’s Leadership Lessons
Every so often we have a guest whose resume is so impressive that we can’t help but feel like “what am I doing with my life?”. Our guest, Jason Gardner spent 30 years as a SEAL.

Fortunately for us, we don’t have to experience these valuable teachings with rounds flying by. Instead we can hear from the man whose lived a thousand lives.
