Description
Jack Murphy is a former Army Ranger and Special Forces soldier that now hosts the Team House Podcast. After leaving the military, Murphy attended Columbia University and made a name for himself as an investigative journalist who has reported from Iraq, Syria, and other countries.
In addition, Jack has authored his memoir, Murphy’s Law, and multiple fiction books like Reflexive Fire, Gray Matter Splatter, and others. Jack also co-hosts the Team House podcast with fellow Army Ranger Dave Parke.
I really enjoyed having Jack on the show and look forward to talking in the future.
