Creating opportunities from the unique needs of our Special Operators is the mission. Charlie Iacono is the President and CEO of Green Beret Foundation; a role to which he brought seemingly endless new opportunities for our Green Berets. From SOF Week 2025 in Tampa, FL, Fran Racioppi sat down with Charlie to discuss his priorities for the year, how the organization has grown over 44% and what it means to lead in the tasks you excel at. At the top of Charlie's list is preparing for victory in this year's 2nd Annual Stars and Stripes Classic; the newest Labor Day tradition pitting America's Green Berets against their Navy SEAL rivals on the lacrosse field. Hosted by the PLL, this year's game is set to be even more physical, faster and sharper as the teams take the field in Philadelphia. Charlie and Fran also discussed how Task Force Tatonka is balancing mental, physical and spiritual health, why inducting President John F. Kennedy was a pivotal moment in Special Forces history, the growth of the Warrior Sportsmen program and new partnerships that are lighting the course for the remainder of the year.This episode is about giving back, creating opportunities for Green Berets to thrive, and laying a good stick on your rivals.

For over three decades, retired Colonel Stu Bradin served on the front lines of some of America's most critical Special Operations missions from Central America and the Balkans to Northern Africa and Afghanistan. He led Special Forces teams under fire, built NATO's Special Operations Headquarters from the ground up, and ran multi-national, interagency fusion cells in the heart of combat zones.But in 2014, Stu Bradin saw a different kind of threat emerging: disconnected allies, stovepiped intelligence, and fragmented Special Operations communities. He knew the next fight against cyberattacks, transnational crime, and terrorist networks would require something we didn't yet have: a global SOF network. That's why he created the Global Special Operations Forces Foundation (GSOF); the first nonprofit dedicated to uniting Special Operations military, government, and commercial partners across the world.Fran Racioppi sat down with Stu during this year's SOF Week to talk about why he founded GSOF, what it takes to bring together over 60 nations and 85 industry partners, and how his experiences building NATO SOF HQ and leading interagency teams shaped the Foundation's mission. They explored what elite leadership really looks like at the global level, the danger of operating in silos, and why SOF must evolve its mindset as rapidly as its technology.Stu also broke down how GSOF accelerates innovation, helps SOF units and partners connect in real time, and creates space for public-private collaboration that can meet the speed and complexity of modern threats to answer the hardest question of today; what must Special Operations become to win the next fight?This episode is about global leadership, unity of effort, and how one Green Beret's post-military mission is helping shape the future of Special Operations across the world.Highlights0:00 Introduction2:02 Welcome to SOF Week3:17 Significance of Global SOF Foundation7:38 Prioritizing Small Businesses11:02 Defining the Next Battlefield19:00 NATO SOF23:05 American's Propensity to Serve27:33 Winning the Next Fight30:55 Getting Equipment to Warfighters35:35 What it means to be a Green BeretQuotes“What makes us different is we're international and we're joint and nobody else is that way.”“Part of what you have to do as a SOF commander in the joint environment is unite your tribes.”“The innovation comes from small businesses.”“Most small businesses fail because of catastrophic success not catastrophic failure.”“If you're wrapped in metal, you have zero probability of survival.”“You can't just assume that your enemy is ignorant because they're not.”“I wouldn't want to be on the modern battlefield.”“Our deterrent is having the best partners we can.”“We back into wars, we don't run to them.”“They're going to be our future whether we like it or not, so we've got to make sure that they are armed to do the right thing.”“I think we need to give the NCO corps a lot more latitude.”“If people know you can get to them quickly, they have to calculate for that.”“At the end of the day, most of the stuff we're fielding right now is not going to survive first contact.” “Ultimately, you have a less trained force.” “SOF, cyber, intel, information and economics. That's how you're going to win the competition fight.”“I just think this is the Special Ops time.”The Jedburgh Podcast is brought to you by University of Health & Performance, providing our Veterans world-class education and training as fitness and nutrition entrepreneurs.Our SOF Week 2025 Series is made possible in part by Accrete.ai; solving business's most complex challenges today through technology of tomorrow.Follow the Jedburgh Podcast and the Green Beret Foundation on social media.

Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia.   Today is Monday, April 8, 2024  A major investment by NOAA paves way for advancements at the I-79 High Tech Park. Founders of the  WV Satellite Center discuss shooting for the stars. Get muddy as Tucker County springs to life…on today's daily304.   #1 – From WV NEWS – The West Virginia High Technology Foundation has a number of projects in the works to help support its partnership with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Foundation President and CEO Jim Estep hopes these projects will help accelerate the foundation and its I-79 Technology Park to the next level. The park currently houses more than 30 company tenants and an estimated workforce of over 1,200, many of whom work at organizations like NASA, Mon Health and NOAA. NOAA is planning a $300 million infrastructure expansion in the park, which is expected to triple their capacity to support high-performance computing systems like supercomputers. Part of the expansion will take it into the I-79 Technology Park's “Phase III” development, an area of the park the foundation has been working to provide access to and make ready for companies and agencies to set up shop, Estep said. He added that NOAA is set to sign a new 17-year lease for the remaining available space in the Robert H. Mollohan Research Center, a building in which NOAA has invested over $200 million since 2010. “The lease will create enormous stability for the High Tech Foundation for a long time,” Estep said. “The infrastructure investment is going to position us to bring in more of the major programs that have major contracting associated with them. ... I haven't been this excited about where we're going in a long time.” Read more: https://www.wvnews.com/high-technology-foundation-strengthens-partnership-with-noaa-for-hundreds-of-millions-in-i-79-high/article_f9fa378c-dee6-11ee-b15a-97de874762ca.html   #2 – From THE DAILY304 –  David Martinelli and Scott Zemerick are spearheading the West Virginia Small Satellite Center, an innovative program that aims to solve real-world problems using state-of-the-art satellite technology.    “What makes us unique is that we are an economic development initiative as well as an innovation initiative. So on one side, we are going to be doing innovation, and on the other side, we are going to make sure that innovation brings value and purpose toward economic development in West Virginia,” said Martinelli. Check out the interview on Innovators and Entrepreneurs, a bi-weekly segment of the daily304 that features discussions and wisdom from West Virginians who have built their companies and launched new ideas here in the Mountain State.

Watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FQc896qpPI   #3 – From GET TUCKERED –  There is no doubt, April showers will bring May flowers. Between now and May, we will experience what is locally referred to as mud-season. Temperatures fluctuate, precipitation types diverge, peepers peep, the red hue of buds emerge from treetops. It's a great time to get out and about in Tucker County. Spring ramps have become in vogue over the years for good reason. They are delicious, extremely seasonal, and unique to Appalachia and West Virginia. This is a delicacy worth pursuing and can be experienced at a variety of Tucker County's restaurants like Hellbender Burritos and Elender's Global Cuisine.  With the onset of spring comes West Virginia's annual trout stocking. An average of over two million trout are stocked per year.  Your odds are good for catching rainbow, brown, and golden trout in one of Tucker County's lakes and streams. The best way to stay dry during those April showers is perched behind the windshield overlanding Canaan Loop Road. The 17-mile loop takes you along native trout streams and towering red spruce forest so dense that the moss-covered ground never sees the light of day.   Hiking trailheads along Canaan Loop offer many options to get out and stretch your legs. At the end or beginning of your trip be sure to stop at Lindy Point for endless views of the Blackwater Canyon.

In this episode, I return to one of my favorite topics: gender issues except that this time around, we focus on global women's health issues and particularly reproductive issues. This episode's guest is very special because she has not only impacted the lives of thousands of girls and women around the world, but she is also a former international student from India.

She is a social entrepreneur and women's health advocate with more than 18 years in the social impact space. She is the founder of Ayzh®, a social enterprise based in India that designs vital healthcare products to improve the health and happiness of women and girls across their reproductive lives. Bai has been recognized as a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum, a Maternal Health Champion by Ashoka, a TED Fellow/ Speaker, and named a United Nations SDG 3 Pioneer by the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC). She is a Visiting Social Innovator with Harvard University's Social Innovative Change Initiative (SICI) and a member of the Governing Body at SEMA (Shaping Equitable Market Access) for Reproductive Health. Episode Themes: Zubaida's journey as a first-generation college student in India to becoming an international student  How Zubaida's international education experience in Sweden and the US transformed her and her thinking around women's health issues Connecting the dots between engineering and social entrepreneurship What Zubaida's leadership of the Grameen Foundation and her hopes for leading the organization into its next 25 years and beyond In addition to health, what are the most pressing issues that we need to address when it comes to girls and women in Global South countries?

Throughout his career, Rajiv J. Shah has tackled some of the world's most intractable challenges head on. At the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Shah played an integral role in the colossal effort to vaccinate 900 million children. At the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) under President Obama, he led the U.S. response to the Haiti earthquake and the West African Ebola pandemic, served on the National Security Council, and elevated the role of development as part of our nation's foreign policy. Now, as president of the Rockefeller Foundation, Shah oversees the global institution in its mission to promote the well-being of humanity around the world. His approach to tackling some of the biggest humanitarian efforts of the 21st century? A "big bets" philosophy—the idea that seeking ambitious solutions rather than making incremental improvements can attract the unlikely partners with the power and know-how to achieve results. His debut book, Big Bets, offers a masterclass in approaching challenges—regardless of magnitude—through decision-making, leadership and, of course, a willingness to make bets. Come hear Shah as he illuminates his "big bets" philosophy on creating transformational and lasting change—in our own lives and well beyond. Learn more about your ad choices.

More than 100 million people. That's how many people “communism as an ideology has killed,” says Andrew Bremberg, president of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation. “I just want that to sink in. That is an incredible number to try to fathom or … imagine,” Bremberg, a former ambassador, says, adding: And that includes not just [Josef] Stalin and the tens of millions killed under Stalin's brutal regime at the [Union of Soviet Socialist Republics], but also Mao Zedong, the … deadliest mass murderer ever, in terms of his leadership of the Chinese Communist Party that saw the murder of upward, conservatively upward of 60 million people.Bremberg joins today's episode of “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, which received The Heritage Foundation's Innovation Prize earlier this year; its China Studies Program; and whether it's possible for the U.S. to move away from or lessen its economic reliance on China.
