First- hope you all like the new intro for the show.
Brendan is awesome. A former Marine, he went to Wharton (back to back Wharton episodes on this show...they should pay me for recruiting) and started Paintru- a service that delivers custom portraits.
We also have a special addendum to this episode where Brendan comes back on and discusses a collaboration with Steel Hearts Foundation to raise money for the service academy graduates killed in the GWOT.56 min - Ep. 87: Service to School, Wharton MBA, Consulting, and Climbing Denali: Alec Emmert

Alec is a seeming wonder man. He's done so much it's astounding sometimes. USNA to industry to Wharton to a top consulting firm...that just scratches the surface. To top it off- he's massively supportive of helping his fellow veterans crush it.
