Hi folks, welcome back.

This is Mark Devine with the Unbeatable Mind Podcast. So stoked to have you here today.

Really appreciate your time and as you know I do not take it lightly.

Today's podcast is going to be well worth it. I'm talking with Kyle Carpenter, one of the

youngest or the youngest recipient of the Medal of Honor. Anyways, before I get back into the intro of Kyle and we start chatting it up, you may have heard, if you've been listening to this podcast anyways, that my new book staring down the Wolf is available for pre-sell and we have

some cool pre-sale offers if you want to take advantage of them at staring down the

wolf.com so that's the website for the book launch.

The book is due out March 2nd.

So you won't get a physical copy just yet,

but you can go see what kind of cool things we're offering if you want to say by maybe a hundred copies you might end up with a Zoom call with me or something like that

So at any rate the book is really personal to me because it's about my leadership failures

contrasted against some pretty incredible leadership successes from some of my seal and soft teammates.

And staring down the wolf is a reference to the fact

that for true leadership, authentic leadership,

we really do have to stare down our fears and our shadow that is holding us back to access really the authentic

you know true heart center leadership that's gonna you know allow us to connect with trust and respect and courage with our teammates.

So that's staring on the wolf.com. I appreciate your support there.

So like I said, Kyle Carpenter, youngest recipient of the Medal of Honor, I'm sure he hears that a lot and he says, well, whatever, you know, but it's pretty significant.

We'll talk about what all that means.
