In Episode #046 of What the Hell Do I Know with JB, we sit down in-studio with U.S. Coast Guard Master Chief Gene Wright—a decorated veteran, devoted father, operations leader, and all-around force of nature. With 25 years of service, over a decade at sea, and a resume that spans global missions, Gene brings a rare depth of experience and humility.
We dive into:
The biggest leadership lessons the ocean taught him 🌊His toughest missions—mentally, emotionally, and morally ⚓Life after active duty and his current role as Director of Operations at Deer Smeer, a purpose-driven brand redefining outdoor lifestyle culture 🦌How his wife, a real-life "Wonder Woman," and his kids have shaped his values 💪Why he’s still pushing—earning an MBA, coaching youth hockey, and building what’s next 🎓🏒This is a masterclass in discipline, heart, and what it means to keep showing up. Whether you’re a veteran, leader, parent, or just someone trying to figure out your next mission—you’ll take something from Gene’s story.
