On this episode, I’ve got General Mark Hertling who shares lessons from his almost 40 years of service in the military. General Hertling's experience started at the U.S. Military Academy in 1975 and since then has seen him move up the ranks with service with intergovernmental and coalition initiatives, working with the Executive and Legislative brands of the US Government and many foreign nations. He also spent over 36 months in combat and commanded at every level from platoon to field army. His honors and recognitions are just incredible and I’m so excited for you to hear our conversation and the leadership lessons he shared on this podcast.

For this episode of Army of Gamechangers, I spoke with Aspiration CEO Andrei Cherny. Andrei’s resume spans industries and positions which include author, business consultant, prosecutor, Navy reserve officer, and White House aide. Clearly, Andrei hasn’t had a career, he’s had many careers.

Andrei puts this belief in practice as the CEO of Aspiration, an investment firm voted one of Fast Company’s Top 10 Most Innovative Companies 2018 for social good. As Andrei says, when leaders set a clear vision as well as communicate expectations, they’re setting their people up for success down the line.
