In this compelling conversation, I welcome back former Green Beret Scott Mann, author of “Nobody’s Coming to Save You,” to uncover battle-tested strategies for thriving in today’s unprecedented social turmoil.

Scott reveals how the tribal dynamics he encountered in combat zones now permeate our everyday lives. He breaks down how social media deliberately fosters divisive in-group/out-group behavior, rewarding fear and anger while eroding genuine human connection. This “churn,” as Scott calls it, isn’t merely uncomfortable—it poses a serious threat to our organizations and society.

Discover practical techniques from special forces training:

• Identifying when someone is physiologically unable to hear you
  
  
• Measuring and managing emotional temperature in high-stakes interactions
  
  
• Building essential social capital before crisis strikes
  
  
• Using the “emotional thermometer” to gauge when fight-or-flight responses are activated

Despite the stark reality of where continued social division leads, Scott shares compelling evidence for why we might be on the verge of a social upswing similar to what America experienced in the early 1900s—a period that produced unprecedented social connection and reform.
