The week we step back a year and rediscover my conversation with Jon Rennie, he was a submariner on a nuclear submarine during the Cold War. 

Today, Jon Rennie runs a successful business that manufactures critical components for electrical utilities. He’s also a podcast host and the author of three books on leadership.

While John was born to a loving family, life was abundant, but funds were limited, and his father extolled the virtue of getting to college. That opportunity would only be possible with a scholarship.

The high school career person was surprised but did his research and found an opportunity. The Navy had a scholarship degree program, which led to officer training. He got accepted, did his four years of college, achieved an engineering degree, and entered the Navy as a commissioned officer.

Our conversation is a fascinating insight into the life of a nuclear submarine, but it’s more than that. It’s what John learned from his experience in the military and how we took that out into the business world.

I often hear from people who have served that transitioning between service life and Civic Street is tough. Jon struggled for seven years until he applied his navy principles to his work; the rest is history.

There are many lessons to be learned here. But the biggest challenge we discussed in detail is to start a business does not mean creating a job.
