OoM 078: Extreme Ownership with Leif Babin

Extreme Ownership is a concept that you've heard me talk a ton about on this podcast and in our conversations. Today, I wanted to invite my guest, co-author of the book, Extreme Ownership, Navy SEAL Leif Babin to talk about what extreme ownership means, the "default aggressive mentality," humility's role in all of this, and how to take ownership of every area of your life.
