Ep548 - Jack Carr, Navy SEAL & Author ’The Terminal List’ & ‘Red Sky Mourning'

Creative Principles

From a young age, Jack Carr had two dreams: serving his country in uniform as a Navy SEAL and becoming an author. Following twenty years in the SEAL Teams, Jack shifted his sights to publishing and fulfilled his literary objective with the release of his debut novel, The Terminal List. Since then, he has captivated readers worldwide with the gripping tales of James Reece in his New York Times bestselling novels True Believer, Savage Son, The Devil’s Hand, In the Blood, and Only the Dead. The Terminal List was adapted into a thrilling #1 Amazon Prime Video series starring Chris Pratt and has been greenlit for a second season based on Jack’s second novel True Believer. The latest book in the series, Red Sky Mourning, follows Navy SEAL sniper James Reece while he's on a race to dismantle a conspiracy that has forced America to her knees. In this interview, we talk about what led him to become an author, how he uses social media to connect with readers and add value to their lives, why he sends out special edition bookcases, his experience in Hollywood, and much more.
