Meet your hosts...properly!

Believe it or not, we actually did introductions while recording our very first episode. The thing about our first episode is that it wasn't suppose to be an episode. It was a test recording that turned into our most popular video thus far. We had to cut and do some edits, and lost that intro so better late than never.

In this episode, we discuss our individual journeys from joining the U.S. Army to corporate leadership. We discuss lessons learned from our military service that still drives our careers today. We also talk about the spark that inspired the creation of Command 2 Corporate.

Whether you're a veteran planning your next move into corporate America, an up and coming leader, or someone looking to improve your skills, this episode is setting the stage for the next evolution of Command 2 Corporate.
