Being a leader is hard so finding a purpose in the work you do is important. My guest today did just that. In 2008 Jason McCarthy, was a member of the US Special Forces while his wife Emily was in the CIA and together they founded GORUCK. Their goal was simple: build a rucksack with life or death quality standards and show all walks of life how to operate smartly and safely in some of the harshest environments in the world (using said rucksack.)
Jason and Emily’s path wasn’t easy, they ended up divorced only to later find themselves remarried and building a better life together. Jason shares his message behind marriage being a metaphor for life, the need to communicate with your spouse to keep them close, his deep understanding on the need for embracing the uneasiness of life and why staying active and outside is pivotal to becoming a great leader and father.
