Welcome to the Megan Kelly show, your home for Open, Honest, and Provocative Conversations.

Hey everybody, it's Megan Kelly, welcome to the program. Today we've got Jocco Willink.

This is our US Navy SEAL, a best-selling author, the CEO of a group called Eschalan Front,

which is a leadership expert consulting firm, and host of the Jocco Willink podcast,

which if you haven't checked out, you should. This guy is basically an all-around guru for how to improve your life.

He's the opposite of the helicopter parent. He's the opposite of the person who feels victimized by everything in life.

He's the opposite of the person who wants to blame everyone else for their own circumstances.

He is a take responsibility kind of SEAL. Is there any other kind?

And if you don't know who this is, he was the commanding officer of the most highly decorated special ops unit of the Iraq War.

He commanded our best and bravest, including the American sniper, Chris Kyle, remember him, and many, many others.

The guys had multiple deployments, coupled to Iraq and other areas as well, including to Ramadi during the worst of the fighting at the US saw there.

He came back from Iraq. He served as the officer in charge of training for all of the West Coast SEAL teams.

So the guy knows something about training, leadership, how to take charge.

And he's perceived everything from the Silver Star and the Bronze Star, which is amazing, to numerous other personal and team awards.

And today he has a leadership expert. He's a motivational speaker. He's a mentor. He's an author. He's a dad. He's a husband.

I'm going to ask him about that. What was it like when his daughter's boyfriend came over to the house? Can you imagine?

The boss of the American sniper.

And he's got some really funny parenting stories that I think you'll appreciate. And also just some heart-wrenching ones about his time in Ramadi and the losses that we suffered as a country there, but that he suffered as a man and a SEAL there.

And I think you'll find him just an example and how to live. How to live right. How to live well.

And you'll figure out why he's known to his brethren as the wise warrior.

We'll get to Jaco in just one second. But first.

Let's get down to brass tax and talk about how I can be a leader like Jaco Welling.
