Dawn and Jason were members of the inaugural cohort (2019-2020) of the Mission43 Leaders Fellowship program and have benefited from the expanded network that comes with being a fellow. Learn from Dawn and Jason as they discuss the importance of leadership development and how the Leaders Fellowship program has had a positive effect on their lives.

In Podcast #027, we welcome Chad Rohr (Navy) and Andrea Hovey (US Naval Academy, ’03) to the studio to discuss leadership development after the military. Chad and Andrea were members of the inaugural cohort (2019-2020) of the Mission43 Leaders Fellowship program. Both excelled, and consequently, were invited back to help guide the 2020-2021 cohort through the 4 phases of the program. Sit back and listed to Chad and Andrea as they share life stories, reminisce about their time in the Navy, and discuss the importance of continuing leadership development even after leaving military service.

In podcast #026, we welcome Davin (Navy) and Gia (Air Force), a military power couple, to the studio to discuss finding purpose after the military. Upon retirement, they pulled out a map of the USA, decided what they desired in a city, and found their way to Idaho on a whim. And they couldn't be happier! As members of Mission43, they have participated in multiple volunteer events and found life-altering purpose while doing it. Pull out a piece of paper and take some notes as Davin and Gia speak truth about how to transition out of the military with a plan in mind.
