What does it take to move from Navy SEAL commander to bestselling thriller author? Jack Carr—creator of The Terminal List, Savage Son, and the upcoming prequel Cry Havoc—joins Raymond Arroyo to talk about his extraordinary journey from the battlefield to the bookshelf.

Carr reveals how childhood influences and military service shaped his storytelling, the emotional depth behind James Reece, and what it means to define your mission when life demands a new chapter. He also shares behind-the-scenes stories about Chris Pratt’s hit Prime Video adaptation, the new Dark Wolf series, and why reading aloud at home shaped his future.

Packed with lessons on discipline, resilience, faith, and purpose, this conversation is as much about living intentionally as it is about military thrillers.
