Most leadership advice is bloated theory. This isn’t.

Forged across decades of missions and senior leadership, Carnivore Leadership is for anyone ready to stop waiting and start leading.
“Carnivore Leadership is a great and easy read for anyone serious about self improvement and the art of leadership. I’ve known CZ for years, working with him during the toughest of times at the Pentagon. The stories he tells are not just insightful, they reflect the leader he is — interesting, authentic, and inspiring.”
Born in Puerto Rico, Ramón “CZ” Colón-López served thirty-three years in the U.S. military, culminating as the Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs (SEAC), responsible for 2.4 million troops and a multibillion-dollar budget.
From JSOC pararescue to the Pentagon, CZ led through extreme pressure and real consequences. His leadership philosophy—carnivore leadership—is simple: stop reacting, start acting. He lives in North Carolina with his wife, Janet, and rescue Salukis.
