Ret. Green Beret Storyteller Scott Mann - Part 2 | Mike Ritland Podcast Episode 135

On Episode 134, Scott Mann talked about his humble beginnings - enlisting in the Army, working his way up to Special Ops, and discovering some of the most untold parts of the world in a way only a good soldier can. But Scott's leadership, and the struggles that came with it, were only small part of that story. In Part 2, Scott digs into the challenges that come with leading, and the often absurd political machinations that come with it, before diving into the aptly-named Operation Pineapple Express, reviewing his charitable works, and explaining just how he managed to get on a stage in his acclaimed play 'Last Out: Elegy of a Green Beret.' ---------- Chapters: 00:00 - Intro 01:17 - Running the Ops Center 17:29 - Navigating Leadership Waters 23:13 - Challenging Calls 40:56 - Regretful Ops 46:07 - Retiring on My Terms 58:16 - Gender, Vaccines, & Social Engineering in the Military 01:02:50 - Different Ways in Ukraine 01:11:26 - Veteran Entrepreneurs 01:15:21 - Last Out: Elegy of a Green Beret 01:19:01 - Operation Pineapple Express ---------- Support Scott Mann: Website - https://scottmann.com Book - Operation Pineapple Express - https://operationpineappleexpress.com Podcast - The Rooftop Podcast - https://spoti.fi/3FIz3vs Play - Last Out: Elegy of a Green Beret - https://lastoutplay.com YouTube - https://bit.ly/3lsoR3v Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/scottmannauthor Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ScottMannAuthor ---------- Sponsors: BUBS Naturals The BUBS namesake derives from Glen ‘BUB’ Doherty, who was heroically killed in Benghazi, Libya in 2012.
