🔥 Service Doesn’t End. It Evolves. 100 miles isn’t about fitness—it’s about remembrance. On Your Next Mission® video podcast, I sat down with JJ Pinter from Team Red, White & Blue to talk GWOT 100—movement with meaning, purpose, and connection. Watch: youtu.be/KCdYkbhi_eM

Listening is Leadership I’ve learned that real leadership isn’t always about answers. Sometimes it’s about asking better questions. That moment of listening can open doors of gratitude. Connection changes lives. 🎥:youtu.be/CTupnMI4xgg #SheepdogTheMovie teamhousestudios

Some stories aren’t scripted — they’re lived. This week on Your Next Mission® , we talked about how the film Sheepdog was shaped by listening to Veterans first. That responsibility matters. Full episode: youtu.be/CTupnMI4xgg

Some missions don’t end at deployment. After talking with STEVEN GRAYHM and Matt Dallas about their film SHEEPDOG, what stayed with me was this: Veterans & spouses reactions, matter. If a story helps explain what a Soldier carries home, it’s serving. 📽️: youtu.be/CTupnMI4xgg

The Solution: Readiness with AMC If a Soldier touches it, drives it, or depends on it, U. S. Army Materiel Command is behind it. From rebuilding tanks to innovation at the tactical edge, AMC keeps our Army ready. 📽️: youtu.be/cCWTGB70UR0

🔧 Readiness Is Built Behind the Scenes I’ve seen units struggle—not from lack of will, but strained systems. That’s where U.S. Army Materiel Command steps in—modernizing logistics & even opening 42 Bistro at Fort Hood to better fuel Soldiers. People first. Readiness follows.

Every swing — good or bad — teaches us something. That’s real grit. April 10th, tee up w/ us @ the 2nd Annual 12th SMA (R) Jack L. Tilley Golf Tournament hosted by the AUSA Suncoast Chapter. 📷 Sign up today: birdease.com/ausasuncoast

Black history isn’t separate from American history – it’s foundational to it. After sitting down with LTC (R) Dr. Maurice S. Pickett, I’m reminded: we must teach the full story. Truth builds unity. Awareness builds stronger teams. 🎥youtu.be/Pz5r_LyIRLc #BlackHistoryMonth2026

Progress Starts with Conversation. Open, judgment-free dialogue – and teaching the full scope of history, including Black history –strengthens citizenship and leadership. If we avoid hard truths, we repeat them. If we face them, we grow. WATCH: youtu.be/Pz5r_LyIRLc

Freedom is a choice – if you prepare for it. This week on Your Next Mission® video podcast, I sat down with MG (R) Robert F. Whittle Jr., to talk about financial discipline. Retire with options – not obligations. Watch: youtu.be/pe_2qSDCXC0

Purpose, financial discipline, meaningful work, mental & physical wellness — these pillars matter long after service. Redirect your mission. Stay engaged. Keep leading. Watch this week’s full episode NOW: youtu.be/pe_2qSDCXC0

Leadership after service requires adjustment. In my conversation with MG (R) Robert F. Whittle, we discussed a key transition lesson: military leadership often drives execution, but in the corporate world success depends on building alignment. Watch NOW: youtu.be/pe_2qSDCXC0

Training the Next Generation I enjoyed sitting down with MG Christopher G. Beck and CSM Jorge Arzabala on Your Next Mission® . Fort Leonard Wood trains 80K+ Soldiers each year, turning lessons from the field into real capability for the Army’s future fight. youtu.be/dpiX3WHVins

Leadership starts in places like FLW. I had a great conversation with MG Beck & CSM Arzabala of the Maneuver Support Center of Excellence on the Your Next Mission® video podcast about training, leadership, and preparing the next generation of Soldiers. home.army.mil/wood/
