Nate & I sat down at my basement bar in Virginia to connect. We never had the opportunity to serve together in the same unit, so we took advantage of a conference to set time aside to record this interview. Initially, he was reluctant because he thought he had nothing to offer the audience. I knew better. His views on agency, mindset, and leaving it all out on the field are crucial takeaways. Our conversation covers topics spanning family readiness, the natural tension between the information & intelligence warfighting functions, and the need to tailor the application of leadership fundamentals to distinct audiences. We nerd out about science fiction, whisky, artificial intelligence & of course, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu! As I roll out exclusive content, I've determined Patreon as the easiest way to engage with the audience. Any tier will suffice, and you can still reach me on Reddit, Facebook, LinkedIn, Discord, or at topgamepodcast@gmail.com. The website needs a touch-up, but I did add some merchandise there in the form of T-shirts & hoodies. You can find it under the Game Theory link at the top of the page. Thanks for tuning in...
