In this episode, Travis sits down to debrief a powerful conversation with bestselling author and former Navy SEAL Jack Carr. Known for his high-intensity thrillers and the hit series adaptation of The Terminal List, Jack’s journey from elite military service to fiction powerhouse is anything but typical. What makes him stand out isn’t just his background—it’s his unwavering certainty, disciplined focus, and refusal to compromise on the quality of his work.

On this episode we talk about:

Why “delusional belief” can be a competitive advantage
How Jack Carr transitioned from Navy SEAL to bestselling fiction author
The realities of adapting books into TV and film (and letting go of control)
