🎖️ An Oliver North’s-eye view of the Iran–Contra affair after 30+ years in the rearview mirror.
🎖️ Using SMEAC (Situation, Mission, Execution, Admin and Logistics, and Command and Signal) for making decisions in high-pressure situations.
🎖️ Why Oliver still recalls one day as a Marine machine-gunner during the Vietnam conflict as the worst in his life.
🎖️ What it’s like to survive an assassination attempt (and outlive its bumbling perpetrators).
🎖️ Why Oliver considers “servant leaders” to be the best leaders.
🎖️ And much more…

Vietnam veteran. War hero. New York Times best-selling author of Under Fire: An American Story and The Rifleman. Scapegoat. Pundit. NRA president. Retired United States Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North has worn many hats over the course of his life (though you’ll never find him outside without one). Remembered as the public face of the Reagan era’s Iran–Contra scandal, in which weapons were sold to embargoed Iran to aid anti-communist rebel Contras in Nicaragua (against congressional approval) and traded for the release of American hostages, this is just one chapter of Oliver’s multi-volume story.

On this episode, Oliver joins us to discuss what the Iran–Contra affair looks like after 30+ years in the rearview mirror, who he sees as America’s number one adversary today (and why), what SMEAC stands for and how it helps make decisions in high-pressure situations, the worst day of his life, what it’s like to dodge an assassination attempt (and outlive its bungling ringmaster), why leaders who operate from a place of service are the most effective, and much more.
