  • Ep 311: Combat Rescue Officer JMac

    Ep 311: Combat Rescue Officer JMac
    Apr 20 2024
    This one gets spicy immediately! JMac has been on the podcast a couple times before and the Ones Ready Team couldn't wait to get the most BRO that ever went CRO to sit down again!

    The conversation was filled with fascinating topics that will inspire you to become a better leader. It covered the unofficial nature of the podcast, which adds an element of authenticity and free-flowing conversation. The importance of podcasts in bringing military conversations to the public cannot be overstated, as it helps to bridge the gap between military personnel and the public.

    The conversation also highlighted the need for problem-solving and emotional intelligence in leadership, which are critical skills that every leader should possess. The issue of personnel problems in the military was also discussed, emphasizing the importance of leaders and managers in creating a positive work environment.

    Furthermore, the conversation delved into the focus on social issues rather than important matters, the stratification of the force, and its impact on competition. The importance of humility and competence in individuals was also stressed, and the need to cut through the madness and lead with common sense was emphasized.

    Overall, the conversation was insightful, inspiring, and motivating. It will make you think about your own leadership skills and encourage you to strive for excellence in all that you do.
