You're listening to the Creating a Brand podcast where we deliver weekly masterclass interviews on topics to help you make your first or next step in business the right one.

I'm your host, Alex San Felipe. Do you avoid discomfort or do you embrace it? The fact is, the more comfortable

we become with being uncomfortable, the more we enable ourselves to succeed in life and in business.

Today's guest is Navy SEAL combat veteran Brent Gleeson. Brent was part of multiple tours

with SEAL Team 5 and after his retirement from service, he joined the world of entrepreneurship.

He was later named one of the top 10 CEOs by Entrepreneur Magazine,

and he's now a best-selling author.

Today we're talking through his upcoming book, Embrace the Suck,

The Navy SEAL Way to an Extraordinary Life.

Brent, welcome to the Creating a Brand podcast.

So excited to have you here with us today.

Thanks for having me, brother.

It's an honor to be on.

You're the first Navy SEAL that has ever been a guest on the Creating a Brand podcast,

so I'm really excited about this conversation today.

And actually, fun fact here, the only other SEAL I've had an interaction with is actually

David Guggins, who did the Ford, your upcoming book, Embrace the Suck that we're going to be

talking about today.
