Today I am fortunate to have JP Dinnell on the Dad Strong Podcast. 

JP is a former U.S. Navy SEAL and now a leadership instructor and speaker with Echelon Front, where he serves as Director of Tactical Training Programs. He spent nearly a decade in the SEAL Teams with three combat deployments, notably to Iraq in 2006 with SEAL Team Three’s Task Unit Bruiser, J.P served as point man, machine gunner, and lead sniper for Delta Platoon opposite the American Sniper, Chris Kyle, in Charlie Platoon.

He worked closely with SEAL Officers Jocko Willink, and Leif Babin, and was the driving force on many of the daring combat operations Jocko and Leif wrote about in Extreme Ownership.

Upon his return, J.P. again worked directly for Jocko as a training instructor at Naval Special Warfare Group One Training Detachment and as mentioned J.P. now serves as Director of Tactical Training Programs, leadership instructor, speaker and strategic advisor for Echelon Front.

He is married and has 3 children including twin daughters and a son.

Some of the highlights on the show include:
