Here he tells us how he got selected to carry the infamous “Nuclear Football” for the president, what the job entails, and what he learned from his 2.5 years carrying the nuclear football within a few feet of the leader of the free world, and the many top advisors the president consults every day. Maadam has stories!\nHe also discusses his role working with the legendary Navy SEAL Team 6 before its raid on Osama Bin Laden’s compound to get the terrorist leader, and explains how a Navy pilot saved the operation by essentially crash landing his helicopter nose first, and protecting his passenger’s ability to complete their mission.\n\nSo tune in for more great stories and leadership lessons. \n\nAbout our Host:\nFor info about the book or this podcast please visit our website:\nhttp://www.letthemleadbybacon.com\nhttp://www.johnubacon.com\nYou can connect with John via these platforms:\nhttps://www.facebook.com/johnubacon\nhttps://twitter.com/Johnubacon"}
