    Leadership Isn’t Loud: Jim Herrmann on Trust and Discipline

    Leadership often develops long before titles or recognition follow. In this episode of Know Your Ship, host Frank Dolce speaks with Jim Herrmann about the quiet lessons, influential coaches, and defining moments that shaped his path from rural Wisconsin to Division I football and beyond. Jim shares candid stories from his playing days and the leaders who left a lasting impression on him, including coaches who led with trust, discipline, and calm authority rather than volume. The conversation explores self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and how learning fundamentals — on the field and off — can change the trajectory of a career once someone realizes they belong. Frank and Jim also discuss leadership beyond sports, including how those early lessons now influence Jim’s work in private equity, team building, and relationship-driven business. From recognizing potential to empowering others, Jim reflects on why sustainable success is built on consistency, character, and alignment over time. This episode is for anyone interested in leadership, personal growth, and how the right people — at the right moments — can change everything.

    From Prison to Purpose: Ricky Zazueta’s Story of Redemption

    In this episode of Know Your Ship, host Frank Dolce is joined by Ricky “Smaqs” Zazueta for a powerful, unfiltered conversation about addiction, incarceration, identity, and what it truly takes to transform your life. Ricky shares his journey from gang life and substance abuse to sobriety, leadership, and service — offering hard-earned insight into personal responsibility, resilience, and growth. Ricky opens up about the moment he realized his prison sentence wasn’t defined by his charge, but by addiction, and how a single decision to say no became the catalyst for lasting change. The conversation explores identity, accountability, and the discipline required to rebuild your mind, body, and purpose, even in the most restrictive environments. Frank and Ricky also discuss leadership, community, and the responsibility that comes with personal transformation. From serving others through reentry work to mentoring those still navigating addiction and incarceration, Ricky reflects on why growth doesn’t stop at survival — and why true impact comes from lifting others as you rise.

    From BYU Kicker to Congress: Jason Chaffetz on Hard Work, Service, and the American Story

    A Conversation on Grit, Mentorship, and the Future of Our CountryLong before Jason Chaffetz became a national political figure, a Fox News contributor, or a leading conservative voice, he was a kid who learned the value of hard work from early mornings, tough lessons, and the coaches and mentors who shaped his life. In this episode of Know Your Ship, Jason sits down with Frank for a wide-ranging conversation on sports, service, citizenship, and the defining moments that built his character long before he ever entered public office. Jason reflects on his unexpected path — from a high school soccer player who accidentally became a kicker, to walking onto BYU’s campus with a single bag in his car, to eventually serving in the United States Congress. He shares the mentors who made the difference, the experiences that taught him resilience, and the lessons he learned growing up in a family that valued effort, accountability, and personal responsibility. Frank and Jason explore the state of American politics today, what unity actually looks like, and why the most important work often begins at home: teaching values, understanding sacrifice, and remembering the stories that shaped our nation. Jason speaks candidly about his time in Congress, the realities behind the scenes, and why he believes service should be temporary, not a lifetime career. He also opens up about the future, including whether a return to public office might be part of what comes next. What emerges is a conversation about leadership in every form — in family, community, career, and country. For anyone who cares about where America has been and where it is heading, this episode is a reminder that grit, gratitude, and good people still matter.

    Few leaders embody preparation, pressure, and purpose quite like TransImpact CRO Jey Yokeley. In this episode of Know Your Ship, Jey joins Frank to share how his journey from Charlotte to Appalachian State shaped the foundation of his mindset. A career-altering spinal injury could have closed the door, but instead, it refined his approach to discipline, resilience, and getting it right—on the field and long after. Jey brings that same energy into leading one of the fastest-moving organizations in supply chain technology. He and Frank explore TransImpact’s evolution from a parcel negotiation leader into a full-scale optimization platform, built on adaptability, alignment, and a commitment to meaningful impact. Jey breaks down the value of preparation in a world that demands fast decisions, how strong cultures outperform raw talent, and why clarity of vision will define the next era of logistics. What emerges is a blueprint for how leaders can grow, empower teams, and navigate pressure with purpose. Jey opens up about leading through uncertainty, developing people, and building an environment where opportunity is met with readiness—not luck. Whether you’re scaling a business, shaping a career, or learning to thrive under pressure, this conversation shows what it looks like to lead with intention and impact.
