Got some sh!t to say?In this ENCORE episode, Marko and Steve dive into the often-taboo topic of masturbation within committed relationships. They explore how self-pleasure can be a healthy, personal form of sexual expression, even when one has an available and willing partner. The conversation navigates questions like: Should your partner fulfill all your sexual needs? Or is it reasonable—and even beneficial—for individuals to maintain a solo sexual practice? They address common misconceptions, emotional impacts, and how open communication plays a key role in balancing intimacy with personal autonomy. To wrap things up, they tackle the week's Listener Sh!tuation, offering their thoughts and guidance on a real life dilemma from the audience-Articles:Psych Central | Is It Typical to Masturbate When You're Married?Guy Stuff | Why Does My Husband Prefer His Hand Over Me?Support the showSh!t | Leave us a voicemail with your relationship sh!tuation at (903) POD- SHIT.

When Rebecca Gray '94 arrived at her first duty station, she thought she was ready to lead — until a senior master sergeant told her to get a coffee cup and led her away from the safety of her desk. “You've got to know who people are, so that you know how to relate to them,” he told her. That simple moment became the foundation of her entire leadership journey.    SHARE THIS PODCAST LINKEDIN  |  FACEBOOK    REBECCA'S TOP 5 LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS 1. Lead With Authentic Connection Genuinely care about your team members as people, not just colleagues—know their stories, show real interest in their lives, and let authenticity drive your leadership style. This builds trust and drives engagement. 2.Adapt and Balance Across Life's Seasons Recognize that leadership and career paths aren't always linear. It's important to intentionally adapt your role and focus to meet the current stage of your life, whether that means prioritizing family, professional growth, or personal health. 3. Translate Core Values Across Environments Military leadership lessons—like accountability, communication, and team cohesion—are just as powerful in civilian life. Carry these values into new environments and roles, and tailor them to fit each unique context. 4. Empower Others Through Example Be a “working leader” by setting the pace and modeling the behaviors you want to see. Encourage your team's growth by giving responsibility, asking for input, and trusting them to rise to new challenges—even if it means letting them make mistakes. 5. Continuous Self-Development Fuels Leadership Commit to lifelong learning and personal development through regular habits—like reading, exercise, and reflection. Maintaining intellectual curiosity and a growth mindset not only strengthens your leadership but also inspires others to do the same.   CHAPTERS 0:00:04 – Introduction to the Podcast and Guest Rebecca Gray 0:00:29 – The Coffee Cup Lesson: Early Leadership and the Influence of Senior Master Sergeant Kennedy 0:01:48 – Authentic Connection: Lessons Carried From the Military to Corporate Leadership 0:03:32 – The Power of Authenticity and Understanding Team Members' Lives 0:04:49 – Translating Military Leadership Lessons to the Corporate World 0:07:58 – Creating Team Connection in Remote and Fast-Paced Environments 0:11:47 – Memorable Military Leadership Influences 0:13:24 – Balancing Military Service, Family, and Career Transitions 0:16:53 – Career as Seasons: Crafting Balance and Intentionality 0:19:19 – Navigating Critical Career Junctures and Embracing Change 0:22:18 – Building Confidence and Trusting Yourself 0:23:46 – Fostering Confidence and a ‘Go Mentality' on the Team 0:25:39 – Leading and Aligning Family and Professional Goals 0:27:28 – Practicing Continuous Learning and Personal Development 0:28:32 – Advice to Emerging Leaders: Value Well-Roundedness and Humility 0:29:43 – Reflections on Alumni, Family Connection, and Leadership Beyond the Academy 0:30:15 – Closing Thoughts on Leadership, Service, and Authentic Paths ABOUT REBECCA BIO Rebecca Gray ‘94, Boingo Wireless senior vice president and general manager, leads a division providing soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines connectivity wherever they go.

Col. (Ret.) Naviere Walkewicz '99   Naviere Walkewicz  00:04 Welcome to Long Blue Leadership, where we explore the lessons of leadership through the lives and stories of Air Force Academy graduates. I'm your host, Naviere Walkewicz, Class of '99. When Rebecca Gray walked into her first duty station after graduating from the Academy, she thought she was ready to lead. But it wasn't a general, a colonel or a policy manual that changed her view of leadership. It was a senior master sergeant named Patrick J. Kennedy and a coffee cup.   Rebecca Gray  00:29 He said, “You're doing this all wrong. You need to be out, out, out.” He told me, “Go grab a coffee cup.” I didn't drink coffee at the time, so he goes, “Go get some water. Stop being difficult.” And he walked me around and said, “This is this is what matters. You've got to know who people are, so that you know how to relate to them.” That really shaped me.   Naviere Walkewicz  00:50 That simple moment became the foundation for how Rebecca has led her teams ever since. From the Air Force to corporate boardrooms, from public service to private equity, Rebecca Gray, USAFA, Class of '94, has led across nearly every domain — active duty, Reserve and Guard — and built a remarkable second career spanning nonprofit work, education and now executive leadership. Her path has been shaped by transformational moments, moments that taught her how to connect, to trust herself and to lead with conviction. Rebecca, welcome to Long Blue Leadership.   Rebecca Gray  01:23 Thank you so much for having me. It's just a privilege to be here. Thank you for what you're doing for the grads, for the parents, for alumni, all of that. It's really impressive.   Naviere Walkewicz  01:31 Oh gosh. Really appreciate that. And I think, you know, that clip was so wonderful to hear. And I think we should just jump right in to that moment in time, kind of winding back the clock when you were just really transformed in your leadership style by your senior enlisted leader. Can we talk about that?   Rebecca Gray  01:48 I was just, had just graduated, and, as you said, my first duty assignment, and the only officer in the shop. And so senior master sergeant, which is one rank below chief — so the top, one of the top senior enlisted advisers in my shop, and we went for a walk and he really just taught me how to connect with the troops, to connect with people, walk around, get to really know them. And I'll have to tell you the first time I did it, I did a pass through, I went through the motions, if you will. And, you know, I came back, I was like, “Oh, OK, I did it. I did it. I'm all… I'm good, and have done my leadership duty for the day.” And he asked me, he said, “Who got a new car?” And I mentioned the airman's name of who got a new car. He goes, “What color was the car and what was the type of car?” And I was like, “Oh, OK.” And he goes, “So you didn't really care.” And I thought that's true, that's actually accurate. I needed to really care about what his first car was, and was it a truck? Was it a sedan? What was it? And so that really shaped me into really caring in a way that's already in your heart. But how do you express that in a leadership capacity? And so that changed the course of my 30-plus years in the military and then in corporate.   Naviere Walkewicz  03:07 What a powerful story. I mean, we can actually visualize you walking around. And as you know, graduates, we are kind of like, you know, task-minded. We're going to get this done. And you did it. You check the box. But to go down that next level, how do you see that actually becoming actionable across, you know, all leadership levels, you know, where you're actually walking the walk with your troops, so to speak. Can you talk about that a little bit more?   Rebecca Gray  03:32 Well, I think you have to be authentic, and be your authentic, you know, be authentic in your heart and what you're really doing. And if you don't have that, then people can feel it. People can tell if they don't feel your connection or your care concern for them. I think that really just mirrored an opportunity for me to put the two together. To your point, we're very task-minded, results-driven. When you graduate, very results-driven. It still impacts me every day, to be results, but you were doing it alongside of other people who have lives and who have things going on in their personal and professional lives, and we bring that to the table too, and really connecting with that and how to motivate people, how to encourage, how to walk with people and help them get to the results that they need to do, you know, as part of your team.   Naviere Walkewicz  04:29 Maybe, can you share an example of how you're using this? You said this has impacted you over the past 30 years. You know, it seems very clear — we're in an in middle military setting, and you're, you know, amongst your troops, you're leading beside them, you're understanding. How does that translate now and where you're at in the corporate world, at your level of leadership. What does this look like?   Rebecca Gray  04:49 I think that's a really good question, because when you look at it, you can see it very easily in the military. It plugs and plays very easily. Once you understand and you put it all together and you can develop it. You get a opportunities to develop that every day, if you will, every day you get that opportunity. But I think when you translate it into civilian life — and we all end up having a civilian life after the military — whether it's, you know a first-term enlistment, whether it's your first duty assignment, you fulfill your active-duty commitment from the Academy, whatever those years are. Whether you, you know, finish your 20 or what have you, you do transition out of military life at some point in time.   Naviere Walkewicz  05:37 Let's talk about what you're doing right now. I think it's important for our listeners to understand what that looks like and, you know, how you're leading in that space.      Rebecca Gray  05:44 Oh my gosh. I am so excited about what I do. It's the best job I've ever had. It's a great company that I work for. I work for Boingo Wireless. And what I do — my job at the company is to do anything that relates to the military. So we provide connectivity to over 100 bases around the world. I've got an incredible team that many of them have served, either as a veteran retiree or still serving. You have to understand what they know. What is their background? Where have they been? Where have they served, so to speak? What companies have they worked in? What role, leadership roles? What technology have they been around? What schools have they been to? All those things, and then also some of their things that are going on in their personal life so that you understand what's bringing them to work every day to support their personal and professional goals. And so you have to translate that, take that military experience and put that into the civilian workforce. And I think it's very powerful. It's so natural. I really actually don't think about it as much because you've developed it so such a tried and true part of who your character becomes, that coming back into civilian life and transitioning back into it, it's a great opportunity to bring all of those skill sets and move right into that — in leading teams, in learning that new chain of command, if you will, in corporate. And so that's a really powerful thing, and it feels like it's an enjoyable part of my day is the people I get to work with, the quality of people I get to work with. If I don't have that connection, I feel like I'm missing something at the end of the day.   Naviere Walkewicz  07:36 Can you share an example in which to that level that, you know, that the senior master sergeant said, “Did you know what type of car it was?” Where you've actually got to that level with someone, maybe in your civilian career, and how that has… Have you seen that actually make an impact on either performance or the results, or really just their own worth?   Rebecca Gray  07:58 Well, I think that's an interesting question. I think that can be played in two different areas. If you're in the office, there's an ability to be connected just by having lunch together, by having coffee, you know, you're in and you're around and about, and physically, there's just a different kind of energy when you're around people. So my team, we get together at some regular intervals that we set as a team for the year. We do one big, we call it an all-hands, an annual meeting, we're going to Vegas this year, and we're going in February. And so we're bringing the entire team; everybody's coming out of the field, everybody's coming from around the world, and they're all coming. We're meeting in Vegas, and we're going to spend a couple days together talking about what we accomplished last year, what we're going to do in the future, and then we also do some learnings, and, you know, things like that, some technology growth opportunities and things like that. So that's one thing that shows that you use… You're going to spend some budget dollars to really ensure that people know how you feel and how you value them as being part of this team, and making sure… I spend every other week planning this for a year and we do that every other week, and we talk about the hotel, we talk about the food, we, you know — our team-building exercises, the agenda, the T-shirts, the design of those, every detail, because I want my team to walk away at the end of that — we'll probably have over 100 people in the room — and I want everyone to walk out of that knowing that they are a valuable member of the team. So that's one thing we do, you know, on my team. And then on Monday mornings, we have a staff meeting every Monday morning, a team meeting, and the first question of the day is, “What did you do for the weekend?” And that's where we learn about all kinds of, you know, really fun things about people and what they're doing, what they're doing with their family, or who they're, you know, trying to date, or, you know, buying a new house, or, you know, all kinds of things that you learn. And then also you develop that within the team, because other people hear that question, and otherwise it's very transactional. This is what you do. This is what you can do for me. And in this fast-paced technology world, taking that time at the beginning of the meeting to say, “Let's take a pause, and I want to hear about you.” And so to me, that's another small thing, but a very powerful thing. In a fast-paced technology space, I think it's even more critical to take a pause, to take a stop and take a breath and realize the people that we're working with are… It's a gift to have this opportunity to work with one another, and I want them to feel a part of the team, even though we're in a remote setting, because most of my team is in the field. And so in that remote setting, that is even more critical, I think. So I think there's both, you know… When you're in the office, there's one way to do things, and then when you're in this more remote setting that we are — and then we're in a fast-paced technology setting. It's moving all the time, and sometimes you get into more activity and results and results and activity, and you accomplish one thing, and you're on to the next and, and that's… I don't know if that wheel spinning so fast is always, you know, healthy.   Naviere Walkewicz  11:15 Well, I really appreciate how you actually gave very specific examples of this leadership in action, because you're right: In this pace and in this remote kind of setting that many of us operate in, being able to still find that human touch and that connection to what you were speaking about that went all the way back to, you know, the senior master sergeant. But I'm sure you also had leaders throughout your military career that also exemplified some of this. Can you share any other moments while you're in uniform, where you saw some of these leadership traits that you really wanted to embody and that you've carried through your career to date?   Rebecca Gray  11:47 Gen. Hosmer was the, I think he was the calm when I was at the Academy, and he would walk around with his A-jacket. So you didn't really know if he was a cadet or not, because once you put your hat on, you can't tell. But, and you know, “Oh my gosh, it was a general just walked past me.” But he knew people's names. He remembered my name, and he remembered it for four years, and it was just a powerful moment that I remembered on my graduation, when we walked through the line with your parents, and you're doing that reception, and he said, “Rebecca, congratulations. Well done, and you did great.” And all those kinds of you know things. And I'll never forget that walk, whether he was walking on the Terrazzo and called my name, whether he remembered it going through a line of 1,000 people with all their parents, and you know, all of that. And I think that's always stuck with me, that level of remembering somebody's name, remembering who they are, that really was powerful to me early on in my military career.   Naviere Walkewicz  12:48 Oh, thank you for sharing that, because those are the moments that so many people can connect with that really do imprint on them and how they are as leaders, you know, and I'm curious, because…   Rebecca Gray  12:57 That's a good word, “imprint.” That's a really good word, “imprint.”   Naviere Walkewicz  13:03 Yeah, it feels that way. Thank you. Thank you. You know, I would love to dive into your Air Force career and the decision to transition out, because I just imagine in the way that you have done so many incredible things that your time in the military was very successful. Can you talk about what that was and then the decision to transition, why that came about and why you made it?   Rebecca Gray  13:24 That's a very powerful decision. It's a big decision to come into the military, and it's a big decision when it's time to leave. And those are hard decisions. And sometimes you leave too early, sometimes you stay in too long. You know, different things like that. But for me, it was my husband was a '93 grad. So I'm '94 he was '93 we got married at the Cadet Chapel right after I graduated in September. I share that because my husband and I were dual spouse, joint spouse. We were just talking about it the other day, because we just celebrated — it was our 31st wedding anniversary — and we looked at it and we said, “Gosh, you know, what a ride we've had.” And we got to know each other. We were in the same cadet squadron. We were both in 29 for three years and sophomore through senior year. And we both looked at each other. We were going to get separated. I was going to do a remote to Korea. He was going to Malstrom in Montana, and my follow on was Vegas, at Nellis. And so we realized we were going to be as separated for a few years, and that was a really big decision for us, because we loved the military, we loved our lifestyle, we loved our friends, we loved the camaraderie and all the things that you love, and we realized, where does that fit with our marriage and how do we pull this off? And so I think along the way, we've really tried to drive a commitment to service. We both went off active duty. We decided to go into the Reserve together, and then I eventually went into the Guard. So I ended up serving active duty, Guard and Reserve, which was really wasn't done back in the day.   Naviere Walkewicz  15:04 No, I was going to say…   Rebecca Gray  15:07 No, that was not done. I mean, you stay active duty for 20 years. You stay Reserve. You might do active duty and then Reserve, but to finish up and get to your 20… But I had three little children, and so I was able to do the Reserve. And so I think what's great about the military is, if you are open to looking at your career and seeing it as a different stages and phases of your life and letting it shape and form around that too, there are ways to serve. That was the way I felt called to serve. I think other people, active duty is the way to go, or Reserve or Guard is the way to go, you know, straight through. But for me, it gave me the flexibility, and I found that it was a lot of fun to do it that way. I got to learn different things in each of the different statuses, if you will. And I was able to put a whole career together with three little kids, and, you know, 31 years of marriage.   Naviere Walkewicz  16:04 Well, I think as a leader, those decision points — and it sounds like you were really well grounded in, you know, what do we want to commit to. Commitment to service, a commitment to each other. But I think what is so special about your career, when you look at it in seasons or in stages, is you've had some incredible opportunities to still continue to thrive professionally, even as those stages change. And if you wouldn't mind sharing some of that, because I think there's times when listeners feel like, “If my trajectory is not vertical, like in one path that you know, that everyone kind of recognizes as the path, then it's not successful.” But to your point, if you look at it in stages, and what is this stage, how do I evolve in this stage? In this stage? And maybe it's not always directly vertical, but we're still moving in it at an angle. I think it's powerful for our listeners to hear, if you don't mind sharing what that's been like.   Rebecca Gray  16:53 I made a very intentional decision to serve as a squadron commander in a certain season. So I wanted to build a life that had different components to it, and to do that, that meant you have to be intentional about that if you want to stay on one path. And I think as this world gets more complex, the technology is moving very fast. You want to stay balanced. I think the only way you can stay balanced in life is to really have different components of your life. There's a time to be a squadron commander, there's a time to be a senior leader. There's a time to be an individual contributor and there's a time to say this is, you know, for whatever myriad of reasons, health or family dynamics, or you're going through a degree program. And so you have to kind of make those things to ebb and flow appropriately. And I wanted to put those building blocks and pieces together to make something really interesting and a reason to wake up in the morning and something that got me out of bed. I do Squadron Officer School. I do, you know, ACSC, and then War College. And so you can end up checking these boxes and checking, you know, different assignments and different levels. Just like you graduate from college, you got to meet certain, you know, credit requirements and different kinds of classes and things like that. So I'm not saying it's a negative, but it shouldn't be a mindset. It should be just the way you need to get certain things done.   Naviere Walkewicz  18:17 And by the way, Sgt. Kennedy would come back and be like, “This is not enough, ma'am.” So, but you know what I really loved about what you just described? This might be the first time I've heard the description of balance, because you did it in a way that — you talked about balance being almost having holistic, a holistic view of various pillars. And there's times when you know you're bringing one of the forefront, so you're not ever saying they're in balance, where they're all, you know, equitable or like, everything is just, you know, the scale is exactly the same on both sides. But what you're saying is, there's time when you're bringing stuff to the forefront, but I'm really aware of the all of those pieces, and I think that is such a wonderful way to look at balance. Which brings me to this question of, you know, you have approached your career and, you know, being a mother and a wife was such, you know, a unique view. When did you know it was time to add onto your plate in this nonprofit space? And then you go, you know, going… So it just seems like you've made these decisions at critical points. How do you measure when that next point is supposed to come around and you take that leap?   Rebecca Gray  19:19 Sometimes, life gives you that opportunity to take a step back and say, “OK, I'm now at a critical juncture. What do I want to do?” That can be your, you know, your health, or a family dynamic, or you get accepted into a program and you want to do this. When I got accepted into that secretary of defense corporate fellowship program that's basically Air War College in residence. You can imagine doing Air War College in residence as a Guard member was very prestigious, an incredible opportunity, and then they sucked me into this fellowship opportunity. But that really changed my trajectory, because at the time, I was in nonprofit, and it pulled me out, put me back in uniform for one year. That was a one-year commitment to do War College in that capacity. And then it was after that I decided to move into corporate. And so I think there's certain times when you get those moments, and what I think is, people race through those — I think they race through that moment. And instead to take a stop and a pause and say, “Do I want to make a change at this moment? Do I want to do this?” I really didn't want to make that change. I didn't want to come out of nonprofit at the time. I didn't want to do War College in residence. I didn't want to do some of those things. And instead, I took it and I said, “I don't know where this is heading, but I'm OK with where this is gonna go.” And I don't think sometimes you need to know all those pieces before you make those decisions. And I think — because then if you need that, you're never going to have it. I mean, you just don't. And so for me, it's always a moment where you stop and you say, “This is an opportunity for me to change where I live, to change my career, to change a family dynamic.” Do you add another kid? Do you, you know, stop at three? You know, what do you do? I think what I have tried to really do is stop and really have it like, really, I really take it… Really take that moment and have that moment and say, this is a moment for me to say, is, “What do I need to change? What do I want to change?” Or nothing? Do I want — I keep going, but I have made that decision.   Naviere Walkewicz  21:30 Well, what I'm hearing from that is a level of confidence in yourself that you've probably developed over time. From, you know, the different interactions you've had from… I mean, wearing so many hats has probably actually given you a stronger confidence in what you're able to accomplish, what your capacity is when you don't really know what's all around you, so to speak, you don't have all the answers. Can we talk a little bit about when you knew that, or when you recognize that in yourself? Because when you made those decisions and you said you walked through those doors with your eyes wide open, you're essentially betting on yourself, right? You have built this trust and confidence in your ability. Can you talk about what that looks like? How you came to that? Because I think there's times where our listeners have this doubt, this self-doubt, so let's talk about that.   Rebecca Gray  22:18 If you have good, good people around you, you ask for good advice. You have a, I think, a faith that can ground you. And you know that you've been given these gifts and this skill set, and you've made certain mile markers in life. I think it just builds over time.   Naviere Walkewicz  22:39 Would you say that you recognized, I guess, betting on yourself and confidence in yourself early in the years when you started diving and recognized, “Wow, this is scary, but OK,” right? Or was it more developed later?   Rebecca Gray  22:52 I started diving when I was 10, and you know, I would be up there on the diving board. I was a little 10-year-old, and sometimes you couldn't get walked down the board. You were terrified. My coach would sit there and she would say, “OK, we're gonna go — 1, 2, 3,” and you go, you learn how to walk down that diving board, and you learn how to do things that you you're not really confident on, and you're not really… But once you master it, it's really fun. It's probably from, I think, diving, athletics, I think does that to you. You know, whether you're chasing that soccer ball and you got to go up against somebody bigger, whether you're in football, and you got to go off up against… My husband was a fullback at the Air Force Academy, and so he went up against lineman at Notre Dame and Ohio State and things like that. And he goes, “It was terrifying.” And so… But when the whistle blows and the play calls called you. You go and so you develop that strength some somehow along the way to push through.   Naviere Walkewicz  23:46 How have you developed those that have come under your care as a leader that maybe didn't have that athletic background? How do you teach them that? How do you instill in them that “go” mentality, that, you know, fear is just your body's response, gets your blood, you know, your blood flowing. How do you do that as a leader?   Rebecca Gray  24:03 I think, I think you do it by going out ahead and standing out there, and maybe you're the only one out there, so to speak, ahead of it, ahead of the team, in believing whatever direction you need to go, whatever new business direction you need to go in, or what new product line you need to develop, or what new revenue goals do you need to accomplish? And you have to go out there, and you've got to do it yourself. I'm probably more of a working leader than a leader that manages. I'm not the best manager, if you will, but I can get out in front. But I think, for me, it's just been leading out in the head, going out there and saying, this is the direction, building that conversation across the team leaders to make sure we're aligned, to make sure we're thinking the same thing. Are you reading the market the way I'm reading the market? Are you reading some of these leadership decisions within the industry that we're reading? And are we seeing this the same way — bouncing those ideas off and then developing that and that groundswell to really go for it.   Naviere Walkewicz  25:06 I want to ask you this question that's tied to this idea of understanding your capacity, your capabilities, your talents, your strengths, betting on yourself, and how you've been able to do that while you still successfully have a 31-year marri… right? Like a marriage and a family that has to also buy into those decisions. What does that look like as a leader when you're making those decisions, when you have children and a family or a spouse, you know? How do you navigate that when they also have their goals?   Rebecca Gray  25:39 Oh, it's so deep. It's so deep because…   Naviere Walkewicz  25:43 It's real because this is what they're facing. You know, all of our leaders are facing these questions.   Rebecca Gray  25:47 It is, it is. You're facing these decisions back at home, and what you've got to manage at home. You know, my husband, I really lead, and we lead by example — that we take care of our business and we do our things. And as soon as the girls were able to do a lot of things for themselves, we gave them that responsibility. That really helped. I think your kids are pretty capable, and they're really strong and they're very smart and they're wise, and they can feel the energy in the room. They can feel your commitment to them.   Naviere Walkewicz  26:19 Well, I mean, I think what I heard through all that as well, is having those values aligned like you do, and then really communicating and then just championing the responsibility and the capabilities of your family members. It seems like, you know, you don't only just do that at work, but what I'm hearing is you've done this and the home life as well, and it's continued to just really evolve your family in such a beautiful way. So thank you for sharing that with us. Because I think that's really powerful and sometimes when our listeners feel like, “Gosh, I don't know how to make this decision,” I think if you start from that place of, “Are we aligned? Do we know what our core, you know, piece is,” go from there, it seems like you've been able to navigate that really well. Thank you for sharing that. Well, I want to ask you something that you're doing every day, because as leaders… And I'm not sure what your thoughts are on this, maybe you can share, but a lot of people will talk about how “I'm always learning. I'm continuing to learn, even as a leader, I'm still learning every day.” Can you share if that's how you feel, and if so, what are you doing on a daily basis to just be a better version of yourself as a leader, professional, etc.?   Rebecca Gray  27:28 I think when you work out and you get a really good workout, and whatever that is, walking or, you know, at the gym or lifting, or whatever that is, biking or swimming — I think for me, that exercise and reading — those are probably the two things that I really work a lot on, and making sure that's just part of the day. You know, a lot of times we don't have to think too much about eating because we get hungry. But, you know, once you start exercising a lot, and you read a lot, and you have that quiet time — when you don't have it, you miss it, and so you almost get hungry for it. And so to create that consistency, so you can create that hunger. If you do skip it, or you want to skip it. Even when I travel for work, I do it. The girls know that if we're in a hotel, I'm going to go run down to the gym for a little bit. They'll come with me or not, but that's something I'm going to do regardless. And then the reading is really, really critical.   Naviere Walkewicz  28:20 You know, one of the things we also love to ask, and maybe this is a better way to ask it, is, if you were to give advice to your daughters on what they could do today to be better leaders for tomorrow, what would that be?   Rebecca Gray  28:32 I don't know if it's a goal to be a leader, but I think it's a goal to develop and be really well rounded, really solid, because you will default to being the leader. If you have that strength, you have that intellectual capacity, you have the humility. But I think having that humility is really, really critical, the well-roundedness, having different aspects to your life. You know, it can't all be just school and homework, and it needs to be whatever that is music or athletics or, you know, what have you in your faith community or something, you've got to have a well-rounded… because things come and go in your life.   Naviere Walkewicz  29:12 Well, I love how you really put that together. Because I think the key thing was, you know, I don't know that they're necessarily aspiring to be a leader, but if they aspire to be well rounded and that kind of a wholesome approach, they will be the leader in the room. And I just, I just love that, because it just makes it so clear, right? I thought that was incredible. Well, we're coming up at our time, and I just have loved this conversation. Is there anything we didn't cover that you just like, this is a time, like, we want to make sure we didn't miss anything that you would like to share.   Rebecca Gray  29:43 What you're really focused on is really powerful. And connecting the alumni, connecting the families, so that they understand what their child is going through at the Academy is really important. Realizing there's life out of the Academy, and you still need to serve, and you still need to contribute, and there's a way, there's a lot of lessons that we had at those four critical years of our life that can carry us. And I think you're really highlighting that and giving us the space to share some of that. So really appreciate that.   Naviere Walkewicz  30:15 Well, I appreciate you saying that, and I just have to share with our listeners: You know, what I've really taken away from today's conversation is that leadership begins in small moments, a cup of coffee, a conversation, you know, choosing to listen, but it grows through courage, you know, the courage to step into uncertainty, which you've done, to serve where others maybe wouldn't, and to believe in your path, even if it looks unconventional.   Rebecca Gray  30:38 It has, yeah, even if it looks unconventional, that's OK. It's OK too.   Naviere Walkewicz  30:43 And I love that you talked about how it wasn't about the titles, but it was really about the experiences and kind of having that full picture of you and the confidence to bet on yourself. So this has just been a privilege to be with you on Long Blue Leadership I want to thank everyone for listening to this Long Blue Leadership episode. If you know others that are really growing in their leadership journeys and could benefit from this, please share it with them. We love having all of you listen to these wonderful lessons on leadership from our Air Force Academy graduates. So Rebecca, again, thank you so much. We will see you another time, but for now, I'm Naviere Walkewicz, Class of '99.

In today's episode of Resonance, Michael Trainer broadcasts from Uluwatu, Bali to unpack one of the most overlooked superpowers in modern life: commitment.At a time when flakiness has become normalized and integrity is increasingly rare, Michael explores why honoring your commitments is the cornerstone of both self-trust and relational depth. From navigating a last-minute Wi-Fi crisis to honoring a 30-day daily publishing challenge, he shares a firsthand story of choosing integrity over convenience—and the identity shift that choice reinforces.Michael zooms out to look at how traditional cultures, tribal structures, and Dunbar's number remind us that we are fundamentally interdependent. In an era hyper-focused on the individual, he makes the case for reclaiming a “we-centered” mindset, where honoring your word becomes an offering to the collective.You'll hear how commitment builds internal power, why integrity creates momentum for your dreams, and how following through on his first book opened the portal to his second. This is a call to revisit your promises—to yourself and others—and remember that your words are seeds. When tended, they grow gardens. When neglected, they leave deserts.A grounded, potent reminder: keep watering what you've planted. Your future is listening. Michael Trainer has spent 30 years learning from Nobel laureates, neuroscientists, and wisdom keepers worldwide. He's the author of RESONANCE: The Art and Science of Human Connection (March 31, 2026), co-creator of Global Citizen and the Global Citizen Festival, and host of the RESONANCE podcast.Featured in Forbes, Inc, Good Morning America.

Wheelchair tennis star Heath Davidson, whose profile exploded after he and partner Dylan Alcott claimed quad doubles gold for Australia at the Rio 2016 Paralympics, joins Viv and Matt this week in Pod Laver Arena. Davidson’s prominence in the sport, and wheelchair tennis advocacy, have helped shape the upcoming summer of tennis; January will see wheelchair events integrated into the United Cup and the Brisbane and Adelaide Internationals leading into Australian Open 2026. More motivated than ever to compete during the new-look summer, Davidson remains a fixture in the top 10 at age 38, all the more inspiring given the hurdles he was forced to overcome – including addiction, homelessness and “falling into the wrong crowd” – during his teens and 20s, a time he recounts in candid detail during this wide-ranging interview.

In this message, we return to the Gospel of John with a powerful passage in John 18:28–40, where Jesus stands before Pontius Pilate.   From a human perspective, Jesus has been betrayed by Judas, arrested unjustly, and denied by Peter — His closest followers have faltered, and the crowd is about to reject Him. Yet behind every setback is a deeper reality:   Nothing is falling apart. Everything is unfolding exactly according to God's plan.   In this moment of pressure and opposition, Jesus shows us:   Boldness over fear   Commitment over confusion   Mission over comfort   Jesus doesn't defend Himself to protect His life — He surrenders it to secure our salvation. His Kingdom is not of this world, but His rescue mission was for this world, for humanity — for us.   This message calls believers to move: From fear → to faith From apprehension → to Spirit-filled boldness From comfort → to Kingdom calling

Jeff explains how Socha Capital helps successful entrepreneurs through family office services, from tax reduction and legal planning to investment and risk management. Gene highlights the importance of having values that actually live inside an organization, not just words written on a wall, and Jeff shares how this philosophy drives everything they do. How AI Supercharges Their Client Experience The conversation shifts into technology, where Jeff breaks down how artificial intelligence has changed the game at Socha Capital. Instead of replacing people, AI helps the team work smarter, speeding up research, boosting problem-solving, and allowing them to craft customized solutions faster than ever. For a company dealing with complex financial and legal strategy, that efficiency makes a real difference. Values That Drive Growth (Literally) Jeff has a remarkable track record: three different companies have landed on fastest-growing company lists, including the Inc. 5000. Gene digs into how values played a part in that success. Jeff shares Socha Capital's four core values: growth, reliability, communication, and respect, and explains how they show up in real decisions like hiring, firing, and internal operations. These aren't slogans; they are the compass for everything the team does, reinforced through weekly reviews, reporting systems, and clear expectations around accountability. Teaching Leaders to Think for Themselves One of the most compelling parts of the conversation is Jeff's philosophy on developing leadership within his team. Instead of giving answers right away, he encourages employees to think through decisions using the company's values as their guide, especially when he's not in the room. This approach builds autonomy, confidence, and critical thinking. Jeff also talks about how he shaped these values over years of personal reflection and mentoring, grounded in the belief that "everything will grow at the rate that you do." The episode closes with Gene and Jeff agreeing on one big idea: values aren't abstract concepts, they're practical tools. When leaders live by them, they create alignment, resilience, and long-term growth for everyone involved. Key Takeaways Values must be lived, not laminated. Jeff emphasizes that core values only matter when they're actively practiced and used in decision-making not just written down. AI boosts productivity without replacing people. Socha Capital uses AI to accelerate research and problem-solving, allowing the team to spend more time on high-value client work. Growth starts with the leader. Jeff's philosophy "everything will grow at the rate that you do" highlights the importance of personal development for organizational success. Accountability drives reliability. Weekly reviews, clear reporting systems, and action-tracking help maintain consistent performance across the company. Empowered teams make better decisions. Jeff encourages employees to use the company's values as a framework for independent decision-making, building confidence and critical thinking. Values guide people decisions. Hiring, firing, and everyday leadership all tie back to Socha Capital's four core values: growth, reliability, communication, and respect. Sustainable success is values-driven. Gene and Jeff agree that long-term growth depends on leaders who embody and operationalize their values daily. Resources & Next Steps Ready to take your leadership energy to the next level?

The difference between curiosity and commitment can make or break a literacy journey. We close our sixth season by drawing a clear line between being interested in structured literacy and being devoted to outcomes for every student, then map how teams can cross that line together. Along the way, we unpack five behaviour groups you'll recognise in any staffroom, from early adopters to the special-case sceptics, and explain why labelling people as resistant often hides a deeper truth about capability and vulnerability.Has something in this episode resonated with you?

What if chasing “one more healing” is the very thing keeping you from feeling whole??In this episode, Byron and Michael look at the fine line between helpful practice and healing addiction. They name the hidden driver—pain and disconnection—and how it can turn breathwork, plant medicine, and nonstop workshops into a spin cycle that never truly lands. Byron questions the inner program of “I am broken,” and offers a reframe: protect your energy with gentleness, boundaries, and integration—letting insights settle before reaching for the next fix. They contrast feminine healing (feeling, processing) with masculine commitment (clear intentions, follow-through), reminding us both are needed. Instead of digging forever, he suggests real-time healing: slow enough to notice what's alive now, journal it, meet responsibilities, and return to it with honesty. The heart of his message: stop outsourcing your power to healers or methods; claim your own change. If you've ever felt stuck in “just one more ceremony/class/session,” this conversation gently opens the door out.—-------—-------—-Episode Chapters:00:00:00 Introduction00:02:26 Addiction vs. Habit00:05:31 Pain, Disconnection, and the Void00:07:49 Dopamine, Sugar, Coffee, and Phones00:10:27 When Healing Becomes a Spin Cycle00:13:46 The “I Am Broken” Program00:16:15 Gentleness Without Bypassing00:18:08 Self-Talk, Journaling, Therapy00:21:10 Ahimsa & Svadhyaya in Practice00:27:03 Intention, Commitment, and Balance00:28:36 Integration > Endless Doing00:35:11 Real-Time Healing00:39:31 Altered States vs. Slowing Down00:41:07 Pedestals, Gurus & Claiming Your Power00:44:13 No Finish Line; Keep It Human00:46:10 Closing—-------—-------—-

In this special Thanksgiving Day episode, Dr. Stephen J. Kosmyna delivers a powerful reminder: you are not powerless, stuck, or limited — you are a being of choice, intention, and limitless potential.As we move toward a brand-new year, this episode invites you to step into the life you would love to live by activating four inner powers you already possess:1. The Power of ChoiceYou always have a choice — to stay where you are or to step forward into the life you truly want. Every transformation begins with recognizing the choice right in front of you.2. The Power of DecisionAs Bob Proctor taught, a real decision changes everything. When you decide, truly decide, the universe responds. Decision cuts off the old and opens the path to the new.3. The Power of IntentionOnce the decision is made, intention aims your energy. Intention sets direction. It aligns your thoughts, feelings, and actions with your highest vision — personally and professionally.4. The Power of CommitmentCommitment is where results are born. Commitment holds you steady when resistance shows up. Commitment transforms desire into destiny.Stephen also speaks candidly about:Why most people stay stuck year after yearHow accountability multiplies progressWhy a guide, mentor, or coach is essential — not optionalHow to begin 2026nowrather than waiting for JanuaryWhy Thanksgiving is the PERFECT energetic moment to activate your powerThis episode closes with a strong call to action: If you're ready for your next level — in business, leadership, or life — reach out today. Don't wait for January. Don't wait for circumstances to change. Your power is already here. Use it now.Produced by:Dr. Koz (and effect!)Dr. Stephen J.

Peterman Brothers' Andrew Hasty unpacks Commitment #4 from The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership: Create Win-for-All Solutions. Andrew draws a powerful parallel between history and leadership using the Treaty of Versailles and the aftermath of World War I to show how "win–lose" thinking always backfires. He challenges leaders in the trades to move beyond short-term victories and build systems where everyone: customer, field professional, and the company — can win together. Through real stories from the Peterman team, Andrew shows why loyalty to outcomes, not rigid processes, leads to better results and a stronger culture. He breaks down the four keys to "win for all" leadership: candor, abundance, allyship, and curiosity, and reminds every leader that their people's failures are theirs to own and their successes are theirs to celebrate.

The goal is to create outcomes that benefit everyone. Loyalty to Outcomes Over Processes: Processes matter, but leaders must be flexible enough to adapt them in pursuit of better results. Candor, Abundance, Allies, and Curiosity: The four traits every conscious leader must cultivate to build trust and innovation. Own the Failures, Give Away the Wins: A true leader takes responsibility when things go wrong and gives credit when they go right. Empowering Field Pros: Every policy or protocol should make life easier for the people in the field—the ones driving the company forward.

In a world filled with distractions and societal pressures, finding and stepping into your true identity can feel like a monumental task. In this enlightening podcast episode, Michael Trainer shares profound insights on the importance of individuation, using personal anecdotes and timeless wisdom to guide listeners on their journey to self-discovery. **Understanding Individuation**  Michael Trainer opens the discussion by emphasizing the significance of drawing a line in the sand and embracing the identity that resonates with us. He recalls advice from his leadership coach, Peter Roche, who reminded him that we are the lead actors in our own movies. This metaphor encourages listeners to take control of their narratives, embodying the characters they aspire to be, such as the king, the warrior, or the lover. These archetypes have been part of human storytelling for centuries, and recognizing them can help us align with our deepest desires. **The Traditional Rite of Passage**  Trainer reflects on the historical processes of individuation, where young men and women were guided through challenging rites of passage by elders. These experiences often required courage and a confrontation with fears, leading to a new identity and a profound sense of belonging. Unfortunately, in today's convenience-oriented culture, these traditional connections and rites of passage are often missing, leaving many feeling stuck in their childhood narratives and unprepared for adulthood. **The Importance of Letting Go**  To fully embrace our potential, Trainer stresses the need to let go of old stories that no longer serve us. He shares a personal experience of slipping and injuring his wrist, using this incident as a metaphor for the importance of paying attention to life's signals. He highlights how injuries can teach us valuable lessons about health, patience, and resilience. In moments of struggle, we are reminded to reflect on our paths and take responsibility for our choices. **Finding Your Purpose**  The conversation then shifts to the significance of stepping into our purpose, or Dharma. Trainer explains that when we neglect our true calling, life can feel chaotic and unsteady. However, when we stand firm in our convictions and embrace our roles within our communities, we can navigate challenges with greater ease. This self-awareness leads to empowerment, allowing us to transition from one life stage to another, whether it's from maiden to mother or prince to king. **Community and Support**  Michael shares his own journey of individuation, which included participating in men's work with his father and engaging in transformative programs like the Mankind Project. He emphasizes the importance of community in this process, as being witnessed by others can facilitate growth and healing. However, he also acknowledges that not everyone has access to such experiences. Therefore, he encourages listeners to seek out mentors and peers who can inspire and challenge them to rise to their full potential. **Commitment to Growth**  As Trainer reflects on his own life, he recognizes the need to surround himself with individuals who push him forward, not just those who provide comfort. He shares his commitment to returning to a supportive community in Austin, Texas, where he plans to embark on a new chapter in 2026, focusing on personal growth and the birthing of a new book. This commitment, while daunting, represents a significant step in his journey toward individuation. What happens when you finally decide to stop playing small?In this intimate solo episode, Michael dives into the ancient and deeply human process of individuation—the moment you step out of the outdated version of yourself and into the role you were always meant to inhabit.Drawing on wisdom from his leadership mentor, Peter Roche, and archetypes from myth and psychology, Michael explores why so many of us are living out childhood stories long after they've expired… and what it takes to cross the threshold into your next chapter.He shares a recent personal moment—a literal fall—that became a metaphor for the ways life tries to get our attention when we're not stepping fully into our gifts, purpose, and power.You'll hear:Why you're the lead actor in your own storyThe archetypes (King, Warrior, Magician, Lover) that shape your identityHow ancient rites of passage forged adults who could protect communityWhat happens when we avoid the identity we're called to liveHow injury, setback, or friction can be a spiritual signalWhy strong peers and “iron sharpens iron” relationships matterThe difference between karma and dharmaWhy stepping into your bigness is not arrogance but responsibilityMichael's commitment to a new chapter—and an invitation to begin your ownIf you've been feeling the pull toward a bigger life, deeper purpose, truer relationships, or a more courageous version of yourself… this episode is your line in the sand.**Conclusion: Key Takeaways**  Michael Trainer's podcast serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of stepping into our true identities and the role of community in our journeys. Key takeaways include:- Embrace the idea that you are the lead actor in your life and have the power to shape your narrative.- Recognize the value of traditional rites of passage and seek out ways to create your own.- Let go of stories that no longer serve you and focus on your true purpose.- Surround yourself with a community that inspires growth and pushes you to reach your potential.- Commit to continuous personal development and be willing to embrace new chapters in your life.
