Another amazing thing about Puerto Rico (besides t

Another amazing thing about Puerto Rico (besides the incredible beaches, and the lowest tax rate in America) is the rain forrest. It runs along the entire island from east to west. It’s very common to have an entire waterfall fall and clear fresh water swimming to yourself, even in El Yunque national park. #puertorico #enchantedisland

Who wants to fly with me over New York city? Tag a friend who would go, and share your best 2020 pandemic story below. Anything at all that’s interesting and inspiring. I’ll pick a favorite and throw you in the RV8 for a city flight this year...#flynyc #pilot #piloto #entrepreneur #igaviation #pilotsofinstagram

If you had one year to live. What would you do and where would you go?

Me: sell mostly everything I own and do an around the world trip in my own airplane with friends and family joining along the way.

It’s a great thought experiment that reveals important from the not important and helped me personally overcome adversity a few years back and “let go”.

What’s one of your strengths and a goal for this

What’s one of your strengths and a goal for this year? Mine is execution and to acquire an existing cash flowing business. Plenty of great ideas out there but very few will actually take action. Let’s make sure we are in the group that does and use this to our advantage. #entrepreneur #cashflow #business #leadership #motivation

How many people have told us the things we were never going to do? Never be a SEAL, never be a pilot, never have success, you don’t have the grades to be in the navy (My high school guidance counselor!...and he’s a local politician now! Go figure...) Let’s keep proving them wrong. The best story below about saying screw you to the naysayers wins a copy of my new book, Steel Fear (going to be a limited tv series as well). #authorsofinstagram #authorslife #navyseal #pilot @boseaviation #pilotsofinstagram #igaviation

Beautiful day of flying with amazing cloud cover and the fall trees turning color. Departed TEB airport for Manhattan, over the Long Island sound and landed in Danbury, CT our new field. Such a great little airport. Aviation is one of the best investments I’ve made in myself, plus community of aviators and the people you meet along the way, you just can’t put a price on it. #igaviation #pilotsofinstagram #vansairforce

I remember playing my Atari as a young boy until midnight. Defender was my game and I’d flip it over and over. Asteroids, Joust...then Nintendo! I still remember when I got my first Walkman and had music 🎶 in my pocket as I’d walk to school and ride my bike to baseball practice. Duran Duran, Lionel Ritchie, MJ, The Police, Men at Work...The World was radically changing then as it is now in a lot of good ways. Best that we embrace the changes coming or opportunities will pass you by. We all have fears to deal with. I used to be afraid to jump out of planes and ended up loving it once I faced it down. Some are understandable but to paraphrase Plato, the real tragedy is when people are not afraid of the dark, it’s when they are afraid of the light. Think about that for a moment. #masteringfearbook

What’s your Coconut? True story: A friend of min

What’s your Coconut? True story: A friend of mine from the Philippines tells me how they trap monkeys in his country. They dig a hole, place a coconut in it; the monkey reaches in, grabs the coconut, and his fist is now too big to pull back out. He’s trapped. All he has to do is let go of the coconut. But he won’t do it. Why not? What keeps that monkey's fist clenched? Fear. He's afraid of losing what he has.

We are like the monkey, preconceived notions and realities.

What prevents people from taking the risks they need to take in order to achieve the things they dream of achieving? What keeps people stuck in relationships that aren’t working, in dead-end jobs they hate, or even, as in my case, in great jobs that nonetheless are hold- ing them back from something that could be even better? They can’t let go.

You can achieve great things.
But first you have to let go of the coconut.

Some of my happiest days were spent in this little

Some of my happiest days were spent in this little Sabot sailboat. I remember sailing hours and hours in this little wind machine. The freedom was so good. I’d even go out to the outer break wall in California to anchor and sleep over for the night. My first big solo sailing trip! 😀This picture is me when I was around 11 during a race in Baja, Mexico. I won by a large amount and embarrassed a few hard core sailors according to my parents...I still remember my mom sticking up for me at the awards ceremony when they tried to give me some crap prize that was not equal to the other adult awards. She got me the goods in the end! I think she also won the chili cook off! Gotta love mom! I also wrote about this and more in my first book, The Red Circle. What’s your favorite mom story? #theredcircle #navysealtraining

The Navy’s first serial killer? Strap yourself in! This book was inspired by real events that happened on board CVN72 with a sexual predator who was never caught. Excited to announce that John and I have placed our first novel, “Steel Fear”, to Ballantine books of @penguinrandomhouse Such an amazing editorial team and grateful to have Anne Speyer as our editor and Alyssa as my agent at @paradigmtalentagency and Hilary @wme on film/tv rights. ***Publishers market place: Fiction: Thriller
NYT-bestselling coauthors of THE RED CIRCLE and other works of nonfiction, former Navy SEAL Brandon Webb and John David Mann's STEEL FEAR, about a crew mate who must track down a serial killer while trapped on board a 6,000-person aircraft carrier in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, plus a second thriller in the series, to Anne Speyer at Ballantine, in a two-book deal, by Alyssa Reuben at Paradigm (NA). #theredcircle #steelfear #authorsofinstagram wme

***Warning. Strong opinions expressed***Photo: Afghanistan 2001. This was taken after a 12-hour mission turned into several days. We had to live off the land (chickens, goats, water purification tablets etc.), hitting targets and gathering intel. It was a different time in 2001, and we had a purpose to be there after the attacks of 9/11. After 2003 it turned into soup gone bad. Political self-interest back home, and big defense spending to name a few of the issues. And America’s finest were ground up and spit out like scraps of meat left to rot on the butcher shop floor. So to all the Call of Duty Heroes out there who play tough guy on social media and weigh in on who served in what combat zone, and who shot what and who (etc), best to be thankful you weren’t there wetting your trousers on a night raid...hold your critique for things you are qualified to level an opinion on. And for the veterans who shit on each other. Get your act together. You’re not doing yourself, your colleagues, your family or the honor of service any good, only harm. There’s no shame in asking for help if you need it. But, seek a hand up, not a hand out. And remember it’s harder to be kind than a jerk. Being a jerk is easy, and why so many of them exist. Plenty of groups outside the VA you can go to for a helping hand. Overall, the veteran community needs more good people who do good things in life after service. So lead by example, do your best, and treat all people of all types with respect and dignity that they deserve. Because we are all hurtling through space at 1,000 miles per hour trying to do our best. #leadership #veterans #entrepreneur #navyseals

Life is weird, messed up, painful and beautiful. Best we start truly living it before we slide into the dark. How many of you have a life plan? 1,5,10,30 years? Where and what do you want to be? Thankful for my friend @jairekrobbins sharing his work with us on life planning during my @ypoglobal forum retreat last year. #entrepreneur #ypo #leadership #lifegoals

Share your best of 2020 so far. Our circumstances

Share your best of 2020 so far. Our circumstances are what we make of it. It has been a challenging but a great year for me. Sold a business that needed selling. Founded a new one with an amazing woman CEO. Sold my first work of fiction to Ballantine books with my writing partner John for one of the largest advances we’ve ever made. Now it’s being considered for series or film rights. Amazing Pandemic romance. Had one of the best summers with my kids and got them all advanced SCUBA 🤿 certified in Puerto Rico. And got to explore the island and all it has to offer with the El Yunque Rain Forrest, secluded beaches, surfing and more. It’s also been a great time to reflect on what’s truly important in life. For me....Amazing Experiences and the being with the right people you love and care about. We are who we hang out with.

Saw this private air strip just north of White Plains when I was zipping around last week. This peeps is definitely living their best aviation pandemic life. King Air on the ramp, private hangar, tie down ramp for friends, own lake and farm for growing food. Anyone know the identifier?! New @wheelsup8760 HQ @greenlit ?
