What do pirates, military special ops, and best-selling books have in common? Leadership. This week, I’m joined by someone I love, disagree with sometimes, and deeply respect. Atlas Aultman—former Special Operations Commander, White House military lead, bestselling author of many books, including the Rule of Three, and host of Targeted, a podcast uncovering the secrets of visible success. In this episode, Atlas opens up about the high-stakes lessons that shaped his leadership philosophy—from combat deployments to the TEDx stage. We explore how pirate leadership, trust cycles, and his personal journey of purpose led him to focus exclusively on podcasting. You’ll hear about his kids’ book empire, his military notebooks, and how we drag each other into media bubbles we don't normally inhabit - and why.
What You’ll Learn:
Leadership Gold:
“Every leader I’ve admired kept it simple: People. Time. Money.” The Rule of 3.
