  • A “MUST-LISTEN” Podcast!

    This is the podcast I’ve been searching for! With a husband currently in the ‘couch to assessment’ pipeline; this is the only place I’ve gained the insight and knowledge needed to give him the support and confidence he needs most.

    Thank you Ash and Derek, it all started with the Ghost in the Machine episode in 2022!

  • Consistently good

    Lots of good content here related to leadership even if you’re not in the military. Yes it’s military themed but they do a good job breaking some terms down for civilians. Solid listening.

  • SGM RITTER IS MY HERO

    SGM Ritter is my hero and I hope one day to grow up to be just like him. No, he did not pay me to write this glowing review. (PM Me on FB so I can give you my address for a 6 pack of the Pineland Underground beer.) This is a great podcast and I think civilian employers should have their leaders listen to this. There are a lot of great take aways. Keep up the great work.
