“The world needs many more humanitarians than it needs warriors,” writes Eric Greitens his new book, “The Heart and the Fist.” But, he says, “there can be none of the former without enough of the latter.” We talk with Greitens, a former Rhodes Scholar who trained to become a Navy SEAL and served in Iraq and Afghanistan after years of philanthropic work.

Guests:

Eric Greitens, author, former Navy SEAL and CEO of The Mission Continues, a non-profit organization empowering wounded and disabled veterans to begin new lives as citizen leaders
