One of the things I’m looking forward to in the near future is when all the folks at our office will be able to have another Volunteer Day.
Before Covid, twice a year we would find an organization that we could spend a day helping. From loading up backpacks for back-to-school drives, to organizing clothes & cleaning the shelves of a second-hand store for the less-fortunate, it is a tradition I dearly miss.
Why?
Because not only are we helping others, but because I see how much it brings us together as a team.
My guest this week knows a lot about this phenomenon.
Jake Wood the Co-Founder & CEO of Team Rubicon, a nonprofit organization of over 120,000 members that utilizes the skills of military veterans to deploy disaster response teams.
He is the winner of the prestigious Pat Tillman Award, a CNN Hero, & a GQ Magazine Gentlemen of the Year.
And most recently, Jake is the author of the “Once A Warrior”, an Amazon Editor’s Pick & a work that Tom Brokaw called, “the book America needs right now.”
I can honestly say this is one of the most honest conversations about raw leadership I’ve had in a long time.
Enjoy the show!
