What does it take to serve alongside some of America's most highly trained reconnaissance Marines—and what happens when you take those lessons from the battlefield into everyday leadership?

Generation Kill's Brad "Iceman" Colbert welcomes longtime friend, Navy SARC corpsman, MARSOC veteran, author, and leadership expert Jody Fletcher to the Carry On Podcast.

After more than 20 years, Brad and Jody reconnect to share stories from their time together at 3rd Reconnaissance Company in Okinawa, Japan, and discuss the experiences that shaped their military careers.

Jody takes us through his journey from joining the Navy and becoming a corpsman to completing advanced medical training and serving with Marine Recon and special operations units. He shares firsthand experiences from deployments, the challenges of combat medicine, and his eventual leadership role as Command Master Chief at MARSOC.

But this conversation goes far beyond military service.

Jody discusses the lessons he learned about leadership, trust, accountability, and taking care of people. He also introduces his book, Good Humans Make Great Leaders, exploring why leadership starts with understanding and valuing the people around you.
