2Come aboard as Captain Jack reveals his wild and dangerous world in the Bering and Arctic Seas. Experience complications with other boats, ferocious winters, how he managed to keep his boat and crew safe in hurricane force winds, and still bring in the best possible catch. Captain Jack gives an honest account of how he managed his personal struggles as well as dealt with difficult deckhands and crazy captains to become a respected leader in the icy northern waters. You'll love the adventure and come away with leadership strategies to empower your own life. Starting as a greenhorn deckhand on the Columbia, a 123-foot Marco fishing boat, in the king crab boom era of 1980, he rose to captain in 1987. Captain Jack ran the Columbia until 2013, fishing year-round in brutal winters and long summers. After 2013, he ran Norseman II, the research vessel, in ice-covered Arctic waters. His last few years found him running the Aleutian Ballad and Cornelia Maria during summers to give their famous captains on the "Deadliest Catch" TV show a much-needed break. Today, Jack uses his charisma and incredible photography to thrill audiences of all ages. www.jackmolan.com You Can't Make This Stuff Up will take you on a ride you'll never forget. "I've known Jack my whole life, and he was never known to let a little [B.S.] get in the way of a GREAT story. But sometimes, to quote Jack himself, 'You can't make this stuff up!'"
