About This Podcast

My life has taken me to many interesting places. From service as Navy SEAL, to operational investment management in remote Africa, to successful corporate turnarounds as a Private Equity CEO, I have faced and overcome a variety of challenges. Working in these difficult situations and with great people has made me very curious about what it is that make certain people succeed, no matter what. This podcast is dedicated to having real discussions with people who overcome fear and find success.
