Congressman Don Bacon grew up on a farm in Illinois, went to college, entered Officer Training School in the United States Air Force, and rose through the ranks to become a Brigadier General.

This episode examines the early life of Congressman Bacon, and how lessons growing up help shape a distinguished career in the military. 

They discuss his farm chores, school at a early age, his pig tonsil story, and how his uncle  was a positive role model that served him well later as a military commander. 

Sam and the Congressman discover their similarities; primarily parking preferences, grease guns, and admiration for General Ulysses Grant. 

They conclude the podcast discussing leadership.
