Another road trip and another podcast. Bram and Reece (The Patron Saint of common sense) talk ADF leadership and the similarities between that and leadership in the mining sector. Leadership super powers are covered in the back end of the podcast too, with the promise to devote a whole podcast to this topic in the future. This was recoded at 5am between Charters Towers and Townsville; and a word of warning - it starts slow and then after a few coffees the lads hit their straps.

In this episode of the WarriorU podcast Reece and Bram discuss their experiences at The Land Command Battle School, TULLY, as it was known “back in the day”. The training establishment is located in Far North Queensland, and is home to the Australian Army’s experts in jungle warfare. Their primary role is to deliver basic and advanced jungle warfare training to dismounted Combat Team sized organisations. Bram and Reece have fond memories that can only be attributed to their advancing years, because any sane person would tell you that it's hot, wet, miserable and everything is trying to bite or sting you. However, maybe that’s just the point. This is a road trip, so strap yourself in and enjoy the journey down memory lane.

Jocko is a retired United States Navy Seal Commander. He is now the Co-Owner, along with Leif Babin, of the consultancy company Echelon Front and the creator of his own Podcast too. As if that wasn't enough; Jocko is the owner of Victory MMA & Fitness in San Diego and author of the books Extreme Ownership, Discipline Equals Freedom and the Dichotomy of Leadership, as well as the children’s series “Way of the Warrior Kid”.

Oh and of course a BJJ Black Belt.

Jocko is a natural leader and he's also learned a lot about leadership while in combat; and in the years that followed consulting to the private sector.

This is a must listen for anyone who aspires to become a better leader.

In this episode of the WarriorU Podcast, I discuss transitioning from Defence to the civilian sector with Reece Dewar OAM. We discuss the issues that we identified during our own transitions and we look at how we can best prepare for that transition using the SMEAC planing process to assist in a person's individual transition. It's raw and unscripted and delivered by two veterans who have walked those steps.
