In today's episode, General Stanley McChrystal sits down with Ryan for a special Father’s Day reminder that you won’t want to miss. General McChrystal shares personal stories from his own parenting journey, lessons that changed his perspective as a father, and what he admires most about his son. 

General Stanley McChrystal is a retired U.S. Army general best known for leading Joint Special Operations Command in the mid-2000s. In 2011, he founded the McChrystal Group, a leadership consultancy that helps senior executives navigate complex change and build stronger teams. His new book, On Character, offers a blueprint for living with purpose and integrity—challenging us to examine not just what we do, but who we become in the process.
