With these, he lifts the paper and gingerly brings it into the house, removes the plastic wrapping, and skillfully lowers it into the garbage pail. I note how deftly the plastic never touches his skin. It took about a week, but with diligence and determination, the entire operation is now a well-oiled machine.And so begins the day. Which day?

Almost exactly one year ago, an Air Force colonel using a pseudonym -- 'Ned Stark' -- penned an article for War on the Rocks . This cri de coeur -- a call for major reforms to how the Air Force selects and promotes leaders -- quickly burned across the author's service. It fueled an important debate and even elicited a supportive response and job offer from none other than Gen. David L. Goldfein, the chief of staff of the Air Force. 'Stark' penned more articles for War on the Rocks and the Air Force Times in the year that followed. And now he is choosing to come out into the open and reveal his identity. Listen to his conversation with Ryan Evans on why he chose to join the public debate, the benefits and costs to using a pseudonym, the difficulties of hiding his identity, and the fundamentally important personnel and leadership issues at stake in the U.S. Air Force. Ned also talks about his future, the role of faith in his professional ethics, and what books have most influenced him.   Produced by Tre Hester

Chief of Staff of the Air Force General David Goldfein tweeted about the 35th Space Symposium held in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

In this episode, Ryan sat down with Gen. David Goldfein, the Chief of Staff of the U.S. Air Force. We had an in-depth, candid conversation about his service's personnel challenges, the selection and education of leaders, as well as strategy, warfighting, and the books that have influenced him. Goldfein also explained why he engaged with the pseudonymous Col. 'Ned Stark' and why it is so important for people in the Air Force to write and publicly engage. Many of the questions I asked came from War on the Rocks members in our members only forum, the War Hall. You can become a member too.

At 69, Susan Goldfein regularly asked those questions, despite having retired with a doctorate in Speech Pathologist, which had afforded her a successful career as a clinician, adjunct professor, and consultant. For any newly retired people those questions do pop up. When you have no idea what to do with your life going forward, taking some time to explore YOU, your passions, loves, dislikes and skills it’s worth every second you do that. Susan found she had a knack for writing humour, but didn't foresee this new career it wasn't part of any grand plan.  At 71 this now witty writer turned what had become a past time into a web site, called Susan’s Unfiltered Wit, where she shares her essays with an audience. Then at 77 having authored an award-winning book entitled “How Old Am I In Dog Years: And Other Thoughts About Life From The Far Side of the Hill” she occasionally asks what the heck am I doing? Why not sit in a beach chair doing a puzzle, but then reminds herself of the many new life benefits she’s gained –plenty - having fun, enjoying positive feedback, and challenging her mind, as well, she is a sought after speaker with a large following on social media.  Susan’s story is a good example of ‘you never know where your passion make take you – so just jump in and do yours ... with passion, plus hear other tips in this Podcast. There are a lot of candles on my cake, says Susan, and her mind is still sharp to come up with the words to comment on the ironies of life.
