S6 E5 - Rob Zackery — Calling the Fight, Building the Team


Listen Later

🎙️ From calling in airstrikes with Green Berets and Rangers to leading Airmen across the globe, Rob Zackery’s career as an Air Force TACP is one of purpose, adaptability, and impact. In this episode, Rob shares what it takes to step into any team room and earn trust — not by rank or reputation, but by performance.

He reflects on his early combat deployments, including Afghanistan in 2001, the push-pull of old-school and new-school warfighting, and how humanity often shows up in the unlikeliest places. As he climbed the ranks, Rob talks about shifting from trigger-puller to team builder, what real leadership requires, and why creating the right environment matters more than any title.

Now a leadership consultant and advocate for underserved youth, veterans, and incarcerated populations, Rob continues to serve — by investing in people, one conversation at a time.

Earn trust. Share lessons. Lead with purpose. Listen now.
