My first guest, cohost and my brother, Thomas (Tommy) Lake helps me discuss topics in the book EXTREME OWNERSHIP, written by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin. Tommy is a manger at Panasonic for the battery production team who oversees project management inside the Reno Nevada Tesla Giga Factory. I pick his brain in a Q&A session where we get: revealing facts on what helped him propel through the ranks at Panasonic, raising his two kids, dealing with the COVID pandemic, staying motivated and reminiscing on our childhood memories growing up in South Lake Tahoe California.

Additionally, he helps me cohost topics in EXTREME OWNERSHIP. We dive into all the good details of this book for this part 1 of 2 podcast series. In the book, both authors were former NAVY SEALs who learned leadership tactics throughout their careers and they write about how to lead and win. This podcast covers topics: Extreme Ownership, Cover and Move, Check your Ego, and Simple. We dive deep into our experiences as supervisors, leaders and fathers to help unpack these topics. I hope our stories help motivate you and that you enjoy listening to this podcast as much as we did recording it!
