  • Superb Podcast for All Leaders

    Mentors for Military, has such great interviews and insights for leaders at all levels, it could easily be renamed “mentors for Leaders.” I enjoy the military focus, I just encourage leaders from all fields to tune in, and learn from the great leadership principles the military leaders discuss.

  • Good show, bad music

    please please please fix your intro/outro music; it’s way too loud. I really enjoy the series, but that music is so jarringly loud I consider unsubscribing from the show every time I hear it. Easily twice as loud as the dialogue.
