Description
In my latest episode I discuss the life and career of United States Marine Corps General John Kelly, the former commanding general of United States Southern Command.  There must be something in the water in Massachusetts as it has churned out some of the most notable modern Marine Corp leaders. From his humble beginnings as a Merchant Marine shipping beer to Vietnam to literally commanding legions of Marines in battles across the Middle East, Kelly has done and seen a lot. And all of this has prepared him for roles that saw him brushing shoulders with high ranking military officers and influential politicians.  Ultimately, Kelly's leadership skills and dedicated public service even caught the eye of then-President elect Donald Trump and earned him two top positions in Trump's administration.  So join me, as I discuss this and so much more, in this riveting episode!  -----Don't forget to subscribe so you do not miss a new episode! -------- Apple Listeners please leave a five star review and feedback, it really helps the podcast grow!
