Summary

Clint Emerson is a retired DEVGRU Navy SEAL, bestselling author, media personality, and the #1 crisis management professional you want in your corner when things go awry. As an operative within the elite SEAL Team 6, Clint served in various combat zones executing high-stakes missions including against Somali Pirates, Al Qaeda Leaders, and other covert operations. And he's a returning guest to the podcast as well - a personal friend of Mike's outside the studio, familiar fans will recognize Clint from his previous appearances alongside the likes of Shane Hiatt and Clark Impastato. But lately, Clint's been working on something new - a state-of-the-art crisis management and risk mitigation company called 'Escape The Wolf' that's been making worldwide waves in the private security sector due to Clint's emphasis on providing actionable information on insecure corporate buildings, file systems, and even employees - all obtained by breaking into multi-billion dollar corporations in the dead of night, among other means. And speaking of security, what kind of hardware are two retired Navy SEALs like Mike and Clint hauling around in their EDC's nowadays, anyway?
