Wide ranging discussion with Adam DeRito trying to get to the bottom of how this Army E4 has come to demonstrate the capabilities, competence, and character typically expected of senior field grade officers extending leadership and influence from the tactical level on combat deployment to political and judicial reform in the halls of Congress. I became aware of Adam and his story watching his podcast with Dr. Sam Sigoloff (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-p_cPkFGCQ). Between Adam letting me in on the ruthless competence hierarchy of the oil and gas industry from an insiders perspective to discussing various aspects of geopolitics I felt privileged to have this conversation with such a fascinating individual.
