    Dan Kephart: The Wake Up Call: Xennials, Millennials and the Air Force Life 🚀☕

    Ever wondered about the unique challenges and experiences of belonging to the Zennial/Xennial generation, wedged between the millennial and Gen X generations? Join Dan and I as we navigate our generational identity and discuss the importance of staying abreast with technology in our fast-paced world.  Our insightful chat with Dan Kephart introduces you to the complexities of motivating airmen in a tech school setting. Unravel the significance of KPIs, talent development within the air force and how it all ties back to unit leaders. A little bit later, we delve into the hurdles faced by those who haven't had many PCSs or TDYs and the value of supervisor experience. We also touch upon the necessity of honest feedback to our team, fostering growth and avoiding stagnation.  Lastly, we open up about our personal experiences transitioning out of the Air Force, the accompanying regrets and internal struggles tied to the values held by the Air Force. As we reflect on the significance of upholding the oath of enlistment, we also ponder the possible decline of patriotism and the impact social media may have on the younger generations. From internal struggles related to our values and patriotism to the physiological impacts of caffeine consumption on our wellbeing, join us for this journey filled with personal experiences, honest feedback, and in-depth discussions about technology.
