Welcome back to Targeted Podcast, one of the fastest-growing Men's Mindset Podcasts, hosted by Atlas Aultman.

After spending three decades leading no-fail missions, serving as a military commander, working as a presidential communications aide, and learning directly from some of the world's most successful leaders, Atlas distilled everything into one simple framework: The Rule of Three.

Originally written for his children, these lessons became the foundation for a leadership book that eventually became a top book in 12 bestselling categories, earned 3 International Impact Awards, and has attributed to Atlas Aultman being named Author of the Year https://eyesonhollywood.com/international-impact-book-awards-hollywood/
