  • Great podcast and ….

    Love the topics, speakers and questions you ask Jen. Only one feedback I have is the intro segment is too long. One of the recent episodes i listened to, it was almost 8 minutes before the interview /talk with the guest even began. It’d be great if you can jump right in.

Q: What was it like to lead 800 troops in Afghanistan and deal with an assassination attempt?
Leading such a large, diverse force under constant risk required a constant focus on training leaders underneath you and maintaining calm; the threat from insurgents led to an almost unimaginable level of vigilance, but the core was prioritizing the welfare and readiness of the troops.
