BIO: Leif Babin, Lieutenant Commander, US Navy Reserve

 

Leif Babin, co-founder of the leadership firm Echelon Front LLC, is a highly decorated former U.S. Navy SEAL officer and combat veteran who applies leadership lessons from the battlefield to building high-performance, winning teams in any industry.

 

As a SEAL Platoon Commander during a historic combat deployment to Ar Ramadi, Iraq in 2006, he led some of the heaviest, sustained urban combat operations in the history of the SEAL Teams. He and his SEAL task unit played a crucial role in the U.S. Army 1st Armored Division “Read First” Brigade’s victorious campaign now known as “The Battle of Ramadi,” which helped to changed the course of the war in Iraq. Leif’s task unit became the most highly decorated special operations unit of the Iraq war.

 

Leif then served for two years as the primary leadership instructor for all SEAL Officers graduating from Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL Training where he reshaped SEAL leadership instruction based on his combat experience. His guidance and mentorship prepared the next generation of SEAL leaders to meet the challenges of the most difficult battlefields across the globe with extraordinary success. 

 

As Operations Officer for a SEAL Team, Leif led a 500-personnel Naval Special Warfare Squadron through a rigorous 12-month training cycle and combat deployment to multiple locations on three continents. Within this capacity, Leif served as Operations Officer for a Special Operations Task Force in Iraq and directed a highly successful campaign that targeted al-Qaeda linked terrorist networks. In 2009, he again deployed to Ar Ramadi, Iraq where he witnessed the miraculous changes in peace and security that his SEAL Task Unit helped bring about with the “Ready First” Brigade of the 1st Armored Division three years before. Leif was then promoted to Executive Officer, second in command of a SEAL Team.

 

In 2011, Leif left active duty to found Echelon Front LLC, a consulting firm specializing in leadership training, high-performance team building and crisis management that applies the principles crucial in the success of the SEAL teams to the business world. Clients include companies in private equity finance, banking, retail, insurance, gas and oil, real estate, pharmaceutical and construction industries.   

 

Leif is frequently invited to speak on U.S. military strategy and foreign policy matters. His editorials have been published in the Wall Street Journal and National Review and he has appeared on a variety of national television news and radio programs.  Leif is a National Security Fellow for the Foundation of the Defense of Democracies, a Washington D.C.-based think tank focused on national security and foreign policy. Additionally, Leif serves on the board of directors for The Little Warriors Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping the children of fallen and severely wounded U.S. Navy SEALs. He remains a Lieutenant Commander in the U.S. Navy Reserve.

Bill O'Reilly

'

Bill O'Reilly's The Factor is now in its 20th year. Twenty years is a long time by any yardstick, but particularly when measured in television years.  As we say most proudly, thanks to more than 5-million of you nightly, The Factor remains the most watched program on cable news, as it has throughout this time.

 There is no letup in the planning and expectations for the show. Bill notes, "Looking ahead, politics is going to dominate, politics is really where we are at. We are going to dominate the election coverage, we are going to be ahead."

 Of course, as those of you familiar with the hard working Mr. O'Reilly are aware, his presence is felt in many places these days. In fact, you might call him practically ubiquitous. Some examples:

Bill's latest book, Killing Reagan, is out, following in the path of the others that went to # 1 on the New York Times bestsellers list. The Reagan story takes you behind the scenes of a president caught up in violent times. 

 As the description says, it is " told in the same riveting fashion as Killing Lincoln, Killing Kennedy, Killing Jesus, and Killing Patton.... (Killing Reagan) reaches back to the golden days of Hollywood, where Reagan found both fame and heartbreak, up through the years in California governor's mansion, and finally to the White House, where he presided over boom years and the fall of the Iron Curtain. But it was John Hinckley Jr.'s attack on him that precipitated President Reagan's most heroic actions."

Highly successful National Geographic Channel movies have already been made of Bill's books, with Killing Jesus, nominated for a primetime EMMY, just as Killing Lincoln was before it. 

Coming up on National Geographic, there will be a movie made from Killing Reagan, and it looks like there could be yet another one as well. Bill also serves as Executive Producer on the Fox News Channel's Legends & Lies, the real story of the legendary figures of the American West. Season one is now available on DVD.

In addition, you can be on the lookout for Bill on the major television talk shows where he is a coveted guest, and as he continues hitting the road with Dennis Miller in their sought after Don't Be A Pinhead personal appearance tour.

Here are the answers to those inevitable O'Reilly biographical questions: he was raised on Long Island, got his BA in history from Marist College, a Master's in Broadcast Journalism from Boston University, and a second MA in Public Administration from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard.

Bill's first professional love was history and he taught it in high school before going into broadcasting. He's also collected important historical documents for a long time.

Hard as it is to imagine, some day, perhaps, Bill will slow down. But not now. He still has a long way to go, and a great deal to accomplish. As Bill has always said, he can only do that because of your support, the people he calls "the folks."
