Jocko spent 20 years in the U.S. Navy SEAL Teams, starting as an enlisted SEAL and rising through the ranks to become a SEAL officer. As commander of SEAL Team Three’s Task Unit Bruiser during the battle of Ramadi, he orchestrated SEAL operations that helped the “Ready First” Brigade of the US Army’s First Armored Division bring stability to the violent, war-torn city. Jocko returned from Iraq to serve as Officer-in-Charge of training for all West Coast SEAL Teams. There, he spearheaded the development of leadership training and personally instructed and mentored the next generation of SEAL leaders who have continued to perform with great success on the battlefield.
During his career, Jocko was awarded the Silver Star, the Bronze Star, and numerous other personal and unit awards.

Billy Campbell is the former president of Discovery Networks U.S., which includes TLC, Discovery, and Animal Planet. He was seated in 25A on the Airbus A320, the second to last row, on his way to South Carolina to visit his family for the weekend, but a flock of geese had other plans for him.
From his window seat, Billy watched as the left engine spit out fire and came to a halt moments later. He remembers the heroic flight attendants yelling “remain calm and everything’s fine.”
