There are few stronger tests of leadership than commanding a task unit in the turbulence of Afghanistan and Iraq. That’s exactly the furnace in which this week’s guest, Commander Rorke Denver, honed his craft.

Before joining the military, Rorke was an All-American lacrosse player at Syracuse. Once he signed up for the Navy, he led special forces missions in the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and other international hot spots and later, every phase of training for the SEALs. Since retiring from the Navy, Rorke starred in the film Act of Valor, wrote two bestselling books – Worth Dying For and Damn Few ­­­and founded Ever Onward.

In this episode, Rorke shares: · How servant leadership is always successful, even when missions aren’t · What he did to keep calm and composed under fire · Why he loves mentoring young leaders · What it means to live a faithful life · When he knew it was time to move on from the SEALs · What it means to be bold and courageous in a scared society
