OoM 068: Raising Men with Navy SEAL, Eric Davis

I don’t know about you but I have spent many nights staying up contemplating the job I’m doing as my children’s father. I’m constantly wondering if I’m doing the right thing- if I’m leading when I need to, allowing them to lead when it’s best, and teaching them the lessons they’ll need to be successful.

My guest today, retired Navy SEAL, Eric Davis, helps me answer those questions and many more as he talks about his new book, Raising Men.

“It’s so important that you as a father are living the kind of life you want your kids to live.” — Eric Davis

Eric has spent years developing, writing and executing curriculum for the SEAL Teams. By leveraging his expertise in the development of systems, structures, processes and practices Eric was instrumental in significantly reducing the failure rate, of Naval Special Warfare’s internationally recognized Sniper course.
