14: What Happens When A Navy SEAL Writes A Novel

  • Summary

  • “It’s a game of constant adaptation and whoever does that faster usually ends up on top.” - Jack Carr(click to tweet)  Everyone has a unique life story. But very few of us actually take the time to tell it. Instead, we go to our jobs and rise in our careers without writing that book that we’ve always dreamt of in the backs of our heads. On today’s episode of the Life Uncharted Podcast, we are joined by author and Navy SEAL—Jack Carr. Jack led special operations teams as a Team Leader, Platoon Commander, Troop Commander and Task Unit Commander. Over his 20a years in Naval Special Warfare he transitioned from an enlisted SEAL sniper specializing in communications and intelligence, to a junior officer leading assault and sniper teams in Iraq and Afghanistan, to a platoon commander practicing counterinsurgency in the southern Philippines, to commanding a Special Operations Task Unit in the most Iranian influenced section of southern Iraq throughout the tumultuous drawdown of U.S. Forces.You can learn more about Jack Carr here and order The Terminal List here“Looking back, BUD/S is one of the easiest things you do on the SEALs teams.
