Jason, Emily and Rich do a team check-in of sorts for Episode 027. They discuss COVID and learning from history about “unusual times” particularly with regards to schooling; adaptation and sacrifice; the tensions of community and personal responsibility; having self-discipline; and lessons of leadership. The team also gives a peek behind the curtain of the state of GORUCK with an overview of current status and a preview of upcoming rollouts and initiatives with a constant eye on being active and building strong communities.
