In this episode, we talk with COL. LARRY BROADWELL, who works at the Pentagon, currently serving as the Executive Officer to the Chief of Staff of the Air Force, but was recently promoted to Brigadier General-Select.

THOUGHT #1
Focus on purpose and people, rather than objectives and outputs.
THOUGHT #2
A good decision is one that is born from our values, considers all the facts, and honors what we are feeling at that moment.
