A Navy SEALs Entrepreneurial Journey with Mack Alexander (Ep. 48)
Transitioning from the Navy SEALs to a civilian can be physically and emotionally hard.
For some, finding a passion can help bring them a sense of peace and create a path toward their next phase in life.
In this episode, Brent Mekosh is joined by Mack Alexander, the founder and CEO of Macks Belts™ and a retired Navy SEAL. Mack reveals his journey from a Navy SEAL to a business owner while diving into the life lessons he learned as a Navy SEAL, how they translated into his daily life, and how he helps others (like him) through his business.
