Join me in my conversation with American Hero and former U.S. Army Green Beret, Retired Lieutenant Colonel Scott Mann. Today, Scott is the founder and CEO of Rooftop Leadership, New York Times Best-Selling Author, and Playwright and Actor. We discuss his experiences serving our country in Columbia, Iraq, and Afghanistan and the influence they had on his leadership perspective. Listen in as we examine the impact of fear-based behavior on society and how to build trust in low-trust environments through the power of story.
Scott also takes us through his personal journey of discovering his calling, navigating low-trust engagements, and his remarkable transformation through storytelling. We also learn about Scott’s life after the military and his insights into the current climate of distrust and disengagement.
