Grieving Voices

Scott Mann | Retired Green Beret on Leadership, Afghanistan, and Grief


Listen Later

  • What do Green Beret special forces do and how do they differ from other special forces?
  • What qualities make a leader? 
  • How can everyday people become a leader in their own life?
  • What, in leadership, breaks his heart?
  • How does Scott feel about the pullout in Afghanistan, having worked directly with the Afghans for several years? 
  • What is Scott's take on grief and suicide prevention in the military?

Scott and I address these questions and more. He also opens up about the moment he planned to take his own life. 

Grief has shaped Scott into a leader that is not only one of skill and mastery but also one of emotional intelligence. Grief has so much to teach us, as Scott Shares, and it is possible to find a path to leading a life of purpose through the pain.

Listen to Scott's journey of leaving tracks and hear the possibilities that could also be there for you in your life.
