HOW TO BE AN OVERALL BADASS NAVY SEAL, ENTREPRENEUR & BESTSELLING AUTHOR BRANDON WEBB Brandon Webb is a combat-decorated Navy SEAL sniper turned entrepreneur. During his last tour as a U.S. Navy chief, he was head instructor at the SEAL sniper school, which produced some of America's most legendary snipers. Brandon is a multiple New York Times bestselling author, entrepreneur, and Harvard Business School alumni. After leaving home at 16 Brandon joined the US Navy to become a Navy SEAL. His first assignment was as a helicopter Search & Rescue swimmer with HS-6. In 1997 his SEAL training package was approved; he joined over 200 students in BUD/S class 215 and went on to graduate as one of 23 originals that made the cut. He served with SEAL Team 3, Naval Special Warfare Group One Training Detachment sniper cell, and the Naval Special Warfare Center west coast sniper course manager. Over his navy career he completed four deployments to the Middle East and one to Afghanistan. He deployed to Iraq in 2006–7 as a contractor in support of the US intelligence community. An accomplished and proven leader, he was meritoriously promoted to the rank of E6 when ranked #1 at the training command sniper cell.  Shortly after he was promoted to Chief Petty Officer while serving as the sniper course manager. Brandon has received numerous distinguished service awards, including Top Frog at Team 3 for best combat diver, the Presidential Unit Citation, and the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation medal with “V” device for valor in combat. He ended his navy career early to spend more time with his family and to focus on entrepreneurship and writing.  As an Entrepreneur Brandon crashed and burned his first start up in 2009, then went on to and create two brands: SOFREP Media (SOFREP.com) and Crate Club. He bootstrapped these to eight-figure revenue and successfully exited the Crate Club in 2020. He continues to oversee SOFREP Media as its founder.   SOFREP is a Military Culture, Defense & Foreign Policy News site read by millions monthly.  Webb is multiple New York Times bestselling author of nonfiction. In 2020 Brandon and his long-time writing partner, and award winning author, John David Mann, released their first collaborative work of fiction, STEEL FEAR. This has now turned into the Finn series with Random House which includes Cold Fear, and Blind Fear (2023 release).  Brandon studied at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, and is a graduate of the Harvard Business School's 2-year Owner President program. He is a member of the Young Presidents Organization, and has served as an appointed member on the veterans advisory committee to the Small Business Administration (SBA).  He enjoys spending time with his tight circle of amazing kids, family and friends.

There are many different types of writing—journalism, novels, short stories, nonfiction, blog posts, graphic novels, and a hundred others. But one thing that ties all writing together is storytelling. Stories are the way we process information and make sense of our lives. Therefore, it is critical that we learn how to construct and weave stories the best way can. It's a craft I am still very much learning, and I'm thrilled that our guest today is here to help us learn to be better storytellers. John David Mann is coauthor of more than thirty books, including four New York Times bestsellers and five national bestsellers, including The Go-Giver (coauthored with Bob Burg). The Go-Giver has sold over 1 million copies and won the 2017 Living Now Book Awards Evergreen Medal for its “contributions to positive global change.” John is married to Ana Gabriel Mann and considers himself the luckiest mann in the world. You might remember that I had both John and Ana here on the podcast as guests a couple of months ago to share about their new book, The Go-Giver Marriage. I have the pleasure today of talking to John about this even newer book that was released just this week: Cold Fear, which he wrote with Brandon Webb. This is a sequel to their previous novel, Steel Fear, which was very successful. In this conversation, we dive into all things storytelling. I get to ask John about his experience as a ghostwriter and collaborator, the biggest challenges of writing a sequel, the ins and outs of writing a novel, how to write an action scene, how to start a story, and much more.

I never turn down a chance to have John David Mann on the show. I crave reading any book, article, blog or social media post or even just an email he sends. Each word is crafted. Not just typed onto a page but crafted to create maximum lift to the entire manuscript, post or other type of written composition. No wonder he is a multiple New York Times bestselling author and that The Go-Giver, cowritten with the amazing Bob Burg, is a must read around the world. On this episode we discuss John David Mann's latest project with Brandon Webb, Steel Fear. Their first fiction novel which has been optioned to TV as has a second book in the series was just released and it required a different way of writing and thinking as John explains on the show. We also talk about his other passion project that was an unplanned one, Write Good, (Or At Least Gooder!)

He reminisces his younger days and his feeling of fulfillment when composing songs that eventually led to him discovering his love for words. Enumerating the steps and embracing the not—so glamorous parts that most aspiring writers disrupt while laying their words to paper. John discusses the impact of letting the story unfold in itself and how beautiful it is when it takes you in a new direction that you would never thought otherwise. Listen as to why John looks forward to the process of revisions and how it helps elevate his work from good to better. John David Mann started out as a concert cellist and composer. At 17 he dropped out of school and started his own high school, where he went on to teach. He pinballed through careers in holistic health, publishing, and sales leadership before becoming a full-time writer. He has coauthored 30 books, including the bestselling classic “The Go-Giver” with Bob Burg and a handful of New York Times and national bestsellers.

In this episode, Kirstin and Mark talk with https://johndavidmann.com/ (John David Mann) John is an award-winning and best-selling author of more than 27 books that focus on parables about leadership like the Go-Giver series, The Latte Factor and Out of the Maze, which was the sequel to Who Moved My Cheese. Since Entelechy is about leadership, we asked John to highlight what you can learn from the Go-Giver leadership and why it still is such an appealing book 12 years later. John tells us how his early career as a concert cellist and prize-winning composer, changed by collaborating with Bob Berg on the Go-Giver books and shares with us the secrets to becoming a great storyteller.  What collaborating and ghostwriting on some different projects including a memoir for an ex-Navy seal sniper, has taught him about leadership. Focusing on the go-giver series in leadership, John Mann highlights the 2 types of leaders and how leaders can move from getting (whether it's from their investors or stakeholders ) to giving.  In addition, we talk about the 4 fingers and thumb rule when it comes to great leaders. And out of these, you will learn how to be: Receptive leader and person in general.  Living with a spirit of generosity Getting into the flow of giving and how it becomes your native state of being When it comes to working in a team as a leader, John tells us how to balance perspective and empathy. And acknowledging your part of a cooperative enterprise.   John's main takeaway from this series is if you put your focus on helping other people by putting your focus on their interests, you end up succeeding yourself.  John is currently working with his wife on a new book, The Go-Giver Marriage, for spring of 2022 John David Mann: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johndavidmann/ (LinkedIn) John David Mann https://johndavidmann.com/ (Website) John David Mann's latest book: https://www.amazon.com/Steel-Fear-Thriller-Brandon-Webb-ebook/dp/B08P4543LG/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=steel+fear+book&qid=1630831356&sr=8-1 (Steel Fear on Amazon )

Becoming a Navy SEAL is hard enough but then becoming a SEAL Sniper and then SEAL Sniper instructor and then being asked to revamp SEAL Sniper training is not something many have on their resumes. Add NY Times Bestselling author, entrepreneur, military advisor, father, pilot, philanthropist and several other things to the list and you have an exciting repeat guest to my show. Brandon Webb recently took a detour from his prolific non-fiction writing and wrote his first fiction novel, Steel Fear. Picture this, serial killer, aircraft carrier at sea... I devoured it in one sitting. We talked about writing differences between non-fiction and fiction, where the premise for the book came from, his travels during COVID with his son and why his son is going to college in Europe versus the USA. And, because I rarely get to speak to someone of Brandon's level when it comes to world events, we also talk about Afghanistan from the perspective of someone who has served there and still is informed.

On this week's podcast episode SOFREP Managing Editor Sean Spoonts sits down and talks with best-selling writer and Steel Fear co-author John David Mann. John Mann is a very prolific writer having penned 28 books on business and leadership. He is also a close collaborator of SOFREP founder Brandon Webb. Starting in 2012 with Red Circle, John and Brandon have worked together on six books. John talks about their latest book, Steel Fear. The book was inspired by a series of molestation incidents, which took place on board the aircraft carrier USS Lincoln, during the early days of female sailors being allowed to serve on board U.S. Navy ships. The serial molester was never caught. This gave the idea to Brandon of creating a book about a serial killer on board an aircraft carrier. To accurately represent and convey the image and feel of a U.S. aircraft carrier to the average reader, John, with the help of Sean, had to extensively research aircraft carriers for a number of years. And thanks to Sean's help he also got to visit the USS Lincoln where he received a great welcome. Further, John talks about the creative challenge of giving enough information to the reader while not giving away too much. Fans of mysteries and thrillers will know that this is a difficult balance to strike. Join us for another entertaining episode of SOFREP Radio as we delve into the backstage of a military thriller's creation. If you are interested you can purchase Steel Fear here.

Quick Background: I reached out to Brandon after reading "Mastering Fear: A Nacy SEAL's Guide." While reading this fantastic book, I learned that Brandon was a fellow YPOer and knew he had to come on the show. I appreciated Brandon's views on mastering fear. My favorite line from the book is, "Fear can be a set of manacles, holding you prisoner, or it can be a slingshot, catapulting you on to greatness." While I haven't had people shooting at me as Brandon has, I could relate to his stories and appreciated how he overcame loss and tragedy to create a better life for himself. In this episode, Brandon shares his story of leaving home at 16, becoming a Navy SEAL, and losing his first business and marriage at the same time.

John David Mann's journey through life has been varied and diverse - but his purpose has been consistent. In this conversation, you'll discover how John has followed his core purpose to achieve success in seemingly unrelated initiatives. You'll also learn something about becoming a better writer yourself as we discuss John's free gift to everyone, a book titled How to Write Good (Or at Least, Gooder!) - link in show notes. He's evolved from concert cellist at age 9, to award winning composer at age 15, and working with other 17-year-olds to create the high school they wished for - to international best-selling author of over 35 books with more than 3,000,000 books sold. In between, he's been a highly successful entrepreneur and businessman. So, what's the common thread through all of that? His purpose, which is to bring his ideas and passions to life to entertain and educate others. Perhaps his best-known work is the Go-Giver series of books which he's co-authored with Bob Burg. This summer (July 2021) he introduces his first thriller titled Steel Fear which he's co-authored with former Navy Seal Brandon Webb.   Connect with Bill: bill@brandingpillars.com www.brandingpillars.com www.brandingforresults.com IG - @wcellis Facebook - @CoachBillEllis LinkedIn - linkedin.com/in/wcellis Book: Women Who Won Connect with John: Contact info: Email: johndavidmann@me.com Website: www.johndavidmann.com Social Media LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/johndavidmann Facebook: facebook.com/johndavidmann FREE book How to Write Good (Or at Least, Gooder!) https://johndavidmann.com/free-ebook/   QUICK EPISODE SUMMARY: Meet John!
