*FOR MATURE AUDIENCES*
Lee Ellis grew up on a farm in rural Georgia, but when he saw an airplane, everything changed. Even as a child, he longed to have control of the skies. After going to the University of Georgia, he trained to become a pilot and ended up going to Vietnam. He was captured by the Vietnamese after being shot down and spent many years in a Vietnamese prison camp.
Lee tells the story of his time in captivity and what he learned about leadership and his new book, Engage with Honor.
