In this brand new episode of the Spartan Leadership podcast, I welcome back the Navy SEAL veteran, public speaker, and author Phillip Koontz. 

Throughout the interview, Phillip Koontz and I talked about a recent incident in his life where he became a target of online attacks. This happened after a viral post that quickly led to backlash and threats.

Be inspired by his resilience as he shares the importance of emotional intelligence, the need to break the cycle of online bullying, and not letting negativity affect one's positive pursuits. He highlights the critical role of social media in building his brand as a public speaker. He mentions how his positive contributions have significantly impacted some of his online followers, why you need to cling to positivity, and so much more.
