Leadership Under Fire: Lessons from Black Hawk Down, with Matt Eversmann
Description
In the heart of Mogadishu, Somalia, October 1993, a group of young U.S. Rangers and Delta Force operators found themselves in one of the fiercest battles since Vietnam. That story became Black Hawk Down.
But behind the movie and the headlines are the real warriors who lived it. One of them is Matt Eversmann—and I had the privilege of sitting down with him for this week’s Warrior Servant Leader Podcast.
Matt’s story is not just about war. It’s about what it means to lead when the odds are against you, to shoulder responsibility for others, and to carry the unseen weight long after the battle ends.
We also dive into his journey as a bestselling author with James Patterson, and how he continues to serve by telling the stories of warriors with authenticity and heart.
This is an episode you won’t want to miss—because the lessons of Mogadishu aren’t just for the battlefield. They’re for anyone who wants to lead with courage, humility, and faith.
