In this episode of Operation Next Chapter, we explore the powerful difference between authority and influence — and why one will always outlast the other.

Authority can be given by a title. Influence is earned through character.

Marc and Cole break down what it really means to lead people well, both in uniform and beyond it. They share lessons learned about respect, trust, and the kind of leadership that inspires others to follow — not because they have to, but because they want to.

Whether you're leading a team, a family, or simply working to become a better example in your everyday life, this conversation challenges you to think deeper about how you show up.

Because at the end of the day, titles may open doors — but influence changes lives.

Listen now and join the conversation.
