Hello, everybody. Welcome back to the show. My guest today is Jack Carr. He's a former United States Navy

Seal, an outdoor adventurer, and the author of the Terminalist series. The lives of Navy Seals

have been romanticized on-screen and in books for decades. But what is life behind the scenes

actually like? Just how accurate are the dramatizations? And why does no one love the military

anymore? Expect to learn the details of Jack's narrowest escape from death. What are the biggest

myths and misconceptions surrounding military snipers? The parallels between warfare and the

struggle against cancel culture? What Jack's daily writing routine is like? Why it's dangerous

for young people to forget the sacrifices made by past generations? The credibility of potential

threats from China? And much more. Don't forget, if you are listening, you should have also

got a copy of the Modern Wisdom reading list. It is one hundred of the most interesting and

life-changing books that I've ever read. I'm always getting asked for reading list suggestions.

And here it is. There's a hundred for you. Go to chriswlex.com slash books to download it for free,

and that will add you to my three-minute Monday newsletter list, which is where you see all of

those cool carousels my Instagram coming from. chriswlex.com slash books. In other news, this episode is

brought to you by my protein. They are the number one sports supplement company worldwide, and it's

not surprising. They're protein bars, they're layered cookies, they're gooey cookies, they're

clear-way. Everything that they make is as advanced and awesome tasting, really, really well-sourced.

I'm a huge fan. And let's face it, you're not eating enough protein, no matter how carnivore you are,

which means that you do need a protein supplement, and clear-way is the best protein powder that I've

found, especially given that we're going into summer. You want something that is light and fruity,

that isn't going to make you feel bloated, or it's too milky to have during a workout. And clear-way

is exactly that. The orange and mango, or the strawberry dragon fruit are two of my favorite flavors.
