love

I work in an industry that is completely opposite of military culture and I find these lessons relevant and applicable.

Great Talks

I have the pleasure of knowing Paul from his time in the Navy to today. I recommend listening to any of these podcasts, reading his writings, or just sharing a cup of coffee with him. Learn something new today on leadership, and go lead like you want to be led!
