Let’s be clear: I love my job.
And as someone who’s founded their own business, I’d like to think I can say this with a sort of earnestness that other may not fully possess.
But every once in a while, I wonder what would have happened if I hadn’t gotten into law school.
See, the alternate course of action at the time was Ranger School for the United States Army. I was by no means guaranteed a spot, but it was a viable option & one I’m always a little curious about.
What would my world philosophy have been?
How would my leadership skills have developed?
Well, while I’m long past the point of reenlistment, my hope is that I would have turned out something like today’s guest.
Daniel Harris spent 30 years in service to the United States Army National Guard.
As first-generation immigrant, his story embodies what it means to step-up & give back, but it also taught me just how lucky we are to have people like him protecting this nation.
He is the author of “On Guard: The Four Pillars of Leadership”, a book that weaves memoir & practical lessons into a gripping narrative.
And since his retirement, he has continued to engage in the art of leading, founding Muddy Boots Leadership & teaching graduate courses on Organizational Leadership for Mercy College.
While the audio on this episode isn’t our best, I promise the conversation & stories are well worth turning up the volume a little.
Enjoy the show!
