Author: Brent Gleeson

Gleeson served as a Navy SEAL in Iraq and in Africa and then went into digital marketing and speaking. Embrace the Suck takes ten hard lessons out of the training pipeline and applies them to business, on the argument that tolerating discomfort is a skill which transfers. It is the standard shape of the ex-special-forces leadership book, and the value depends entirely on whether a reader wants that analogy applied to an office. He set up a marketing agency and writes a column on leadership, which is where most of the material is worked out first.
