25 ABR. 2025 · Rob Robinson and Natan Hepfer, former Tomahawk, discuss veteran transition and leadership. The guest, with 26 years in the U.S. Army, emphasizes the importance of leadership, team building, and prioritizing people. He shares his journey from a private to a CSM, highlighting the challenges and rewards of military service. The conversation touches on the transition to civilian life, the need for credentialing, and the importance of maintaining a strong network. The guest advises veterans to be reliable, build their network, and explore various career paths, including those outside traditional military roles. The discussion focused on the transition from military to civilian life, emphasizing the need for specific credentials and leveraging programs like OTO and Army Ignited. Rob Robinson highlighted the inadequacy of military education for civilian jobs and suggested using LinkedIn for networking and job opportunities. He recommended starting VA claims 180 days before separation and using non-profit veteran service organizations for better support. The conversation also emphasized the importance of documenting injuries and taking proactive steps to ensure a smooth transition, including building a professional network and using tools for resume building and interview preparation. So I didn't split this into two parts, so you get an extra-long episode. I'll leave you some more time between episodes to digest it fully. This is what happens when old tommies get together.

12 ABR. 2025 · There are no such things as mistakes, only happy accidents. Other than my labeling it the wrong number, creating this episode was no hiccup. A technical issue kept me from editing this segment right away, so listeners are in luck. This has become a two-part episode, with Dave and I discussing leadership and mentorship and JB and I following up. I hope you enjoy both episodes.
Rob Robinson and Dave discuss leadership and mentorship, drawing from an article about why soldiers leave the military. Rob, a retired Lieutenant Colonel, and Dave, a former Ranger, emphasize the critical role of leadership in retaining personnel. They highlight the importance of good leadership, mentorship, and leader development. Rob shares his experience with Sergeant's Time and combatives programs, while Dave recounts his mentor, Lester Cooper. They stress the need for leaders to trust and empower their subordinates, citing examples from Ranger School and commercial sectors. The conversation underscores the value of loyalty, trust, and continuous leadership development.

27 FEB. 2025 · Rob Robinson and JB discuss the limitations of "programs of record" in the U.S. Army, emphasizing the need for flexible and adaptive operations. They highlight the outdated caliber 50-machine gun, which has been used since 1918, and the inefficiencies of programs like the $63,000 Javelin missile versus the $1,000 M2220 recoilless round. They criticize the platform-centric mindset, citing the Stryker brigade's prolonged use and the failed Future Combat System. They advocate focusing on capabilities rather than specific platforms, suggesting AI and non-lethal capabilities could enhance military efficiency and adaptability.
