    • Management

If you’re in a situation where darkness complicates your struggle, being able to see the danger gives you the advantage to overcome limitations, enables you to carry out operations that would not in other ways possible, and above all save lives.

 

Today’s guest of the Knucklehead Podcast, Nick Ripplinger, speaks about providing warfighter, frontline men and women, and emergency management professionals extra tools that make them safer and more lethal. He will also point out the obstacles that emerge in their line of business as COVID hits and how he qualifies people to work in partnership with his business.

 

Nicholas Ripplinger is the President at Battle Sight Technologies. He’s a former US Army soldier and Operations NCOIC. He is also the best-selling author of Front Line Leadership. Nick has dedicated a percentage of his time and resources to assist veterans in transition by leveraging their military skills in the business world.

“We made a very poor decision when we first started looking for packaging for one of our products. And it turns out that all they cared about was they wanted us to sign up to minimums that were unrealistic at price points that were unrealistic. They're not bought into the mission. All they cared about is the money grab.”
