All Quiet on the Second Front

93. Offset 2025 Keynote with Senator Markwaye Mullin


Listen Later

In this special keynote episode recorded live at Offset Symposium, Senator Markwayne Mullin joins 2F CEO Tyler Sweatt to talk national security, bureaucratic bottlenecks, and the urgent need for change across government and defense.

Senator Mullin lays out a clear-eyed view of the current state: the technology is moving faster than the government—and without bold action, we risk falling even further behind. From budgeting flexibility to breaking down silos across the DoD, this conversation covers where the gaps are, how private sector partnerships can help, and what it’ll take to drive real reform.

What’s Happening on the Second Front:

  • Why relationships—not just policy—drive change
  • How the DoD can embrace a “get to yes” culture
  • Making room in the budget for faster, more flexible solutions
  • Why the next 18 months are critical for national security transformation


If we’re serious about change, we can’t wait for permission. Tune in for a candid, high-impact conversation from the Offset main stage.
