Praise for The Navy SEAL Playbook
"There are leadership and self-improvement books written by academicians, then there are those written by warriors. The former write from research, the latter from experience. There is much one can learn from research, but lessons learned via challenging experiences are imprinted forever. They are life-changing. I have known and worked with Don for decades and he is a man who has tested the limits in so many endeavors…and succeeded. Whether you are looking for a similar path or wanting to excel at any endeavor, Don will lead you through the process with a lot less pain."
—Enrique “Ric” Prado, retired Chief of Operations at CIA’s Counterterrorist Center and best-selling author of Black Ops
