John McPhee, aka The Sherrif of Baghdad, speaks to his 20 years in US Army Special Ops.
I’m joined by two absolute legends—John McPhee, aka “The Sheriff of Baghdad,” and Mike Sarraille, Navy SEAL, badass, and all-around expert on leadership and human performance.
John McPhee spent decades as a Delta operator, running black ops and doing things that’ll never make it into the history books. He’s going to walk us through what it was like hunting down terrorists in the war on terror, some wild stories about Saddam Hussein’s palaces—think gold-plated insanity—and what it takes to operate at the highest level when the stakes are life and death.
This one’s not just for the hard chargers, but for anyone who’s got a pulse and wants to understand what it means to operate at the highest levels of performance and warfighting.
