Security professionals are rapidly confronting a new reality: artificial intelligence (AI) and big data, while excellent tools for improving productivity and business operations, are equally lowering the barriers for sophisticated attacks by a wide range of threat groups. From hostile nation-states to issue-motivated groups to cybercriminals, these technologies are enabling attacks that are more personalized, scalable, and harder to detect.

Meet Justin Jackson. There's no friend I admire more. In fact, he's my new favorite podcast guest and will be back for Round 2 in October.Justin's a former Marine gunship pilot with over 25 years of service, who transitioned from combat deployments to entrepreneurship. He's built companies ranging from a cybersecurity firm with elite hackers to a mission-driven brewery honoring Gold Star families.Nowadays, he's a husband, dad, and dog-father to a Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy named Lincoln. Professionally, he leads “On Glideslope,” a leadership development venture.In this episode, we rewind to our high school days at Cy Falls, where Justin took over centerfield duties after I graduated (he was Class of 2000). He had the good fortune of playing for Coach Brent McDonald before playing at the Naval Academy. We discuss the mental & emotional side of baseball.Then we get into the role Top Gun played in Justin deciding to be a Cobra attack helicopter pilot. He talks about the contrast between a quiet Iraq deployment and a much more intense tour in Afghanistan's Helmand Province—flying low over desert landscapes, supporting Marines under fire, and the kind of brotherhood only combat can forge.Justin's a natural storyteller with a rare mix of tenacity and humility.Hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did.

His most recent work is the 2nd edition of  in which he outlines how his parenting techniques helped guide his sons through childhood and adolescence to the U.S. Naval Academy, Williams College, and West Point. Jeff, known as "Nellie" has a parenting philosophy that is rooted in four cornerstones: personal courtesy, confidence, resilience in adversity, and ambition. He believes that these qualities are essential for children to navigate the complexities of modern life. As he points out, a staggering 75% of the time spent with children is over by the age of 12, making early engagement crucial for instilling these values. How to do this when teens average nearly nine hours a day on digital devices and are experiencing rising mental health issues? According to Nelly, this electronic addiction that permeates our youth hampers the development of interpersonal skills and contributes to a generation struggling with civic and social virtues. This shows up in our workforce: Fifty eight percent of hiring managers reporting that recent graduates are not ready for the job market.

41: Jackie Robinson Day, Book Banning, Harvard's Last Stand & a Harbinger of Hope.Welcome to episode forty-one of David & Stu… Unhinged! As always, we'd like to thank Clara Wang for creating the fantastic artwork for this podcast. In this episode, David and Stu cover the following:1) April 15 was Jackie Robinson Day, and we discussed this legendary baseball player's contribution to the game and society. He is a testament to character, but that didn't stop our drunkard Defense secretary from purging Robinson's military service record from the Pentagon's website. 2) The issues facing higher education are daunting, including Hegseth's attack on the U.S. Naval Academy, which resulted in 381 books being removed from the library's shelves. However, ironically, students still have access to Mein Kampf. Meanwhile, Harvard, a rather unsympathetic institution, has refused Trump's efforts to blackmail them for concessions. As much as we loath Havard's hypocritical liberal elitism, we applaud them for having the backbone to stand up to this most incompetent and ineffective administration;3) The deportation cases that Trump has pursued and his open defiance of court rulings on his baseless legal claims. And despite all the talk, the deportation levels under Trump are about the same as under Biden. Trump's assault on our constitutional norms is sad to watch and has pushed David to claim that he will vote for AOC as President over JD Piglet Vance in 2028.4) In liberal San Francisco, we see a harbinger of hope with its new Mayor, Daniel Lurie, who has made great strides at saving this important city from the declines brought about by permissive progressive policies that have been devastating to urban America.

Robert Hutchinson's After Nuremberg: American Clemency for Nazi War Criminals (Yale UP, 2022) is about the fleeting nature of American punishment for German war criminals convicted at the twelve Nuremberg trials of 1946–1949. Because of repeated American grants of clemency and parole, ninety-seven of the 142 Germans convicted at the Nuremberg trials, many of them major offenders, regained their freedom years, sometimes decades, ahead of schedule. High-ranking Nazi plunderers, kidnappers, slave laborers, and mass murderers all walked free by 1958. High Commissioner for Occupied Germany John J. McCloy and his successors articulated a vision of impartial American justice as inspiring and legitimizing their actions, as they concluded that German war criminals were entitled to all the remedies American laws offered to better their conditions and reduce their sentences. Based on extensive archival research (including newly declassified material), this book explains how American policy makers' best intentions resulted in a series of decisions from 1949–1958 that produced a self-perpetuating bureaucracy of clemency and parole that “rehabilitated” unrepentant German abettors and perpetrators of theft, slavery, and murder while lending salience to the most reactionary elements in West German political discourse. Nicholas Misukanis is a doctoral candidate in the history department at the University of Maryland - College Park. He studies modern European and Middle Eastern history with a special emphasis on Germany and the role energy autonomy played in foreign and domestic German politics during the twentieth century. He is currently working on his dissertation which analyzes why the West German government failed to convince the public to embrace nuclear energy and the ramifications this had on German politics between 1973 and 1986. His work has been published in Commonweal, America: The Jesuit Review, The United States' Naval Academy's Tell Me Another and Studies on Asia. He can be reached at Misukani@umd.edu.

In this raw and unforgettable episode, we sit down with Renzo, a man whose story takes us from the halls of an Ecuadorian naval academy to the darkest corners of addiction — and finally, to redemption and love. Sent away as a teen in hopes of “straightening out,” he returned with more of taste for alcohol than ever. By 21, he was smoking meth. A move to the East Coast meant a fresh start… until heroin took over. His desperation ran so deep he once faked appendicitis — and had a perfectly healthy organ removed — just to score pain meds.After countless relapses, he finally got sober in his forties. The same day we recorded this episode, Renzo proposed to his girlfriend and they are now engaged — a full-circle moment for someone who never thought love or freedom was possible. Now, he works in treatment and shares his story to prove that no matter how far gone you feel, it's never too late to come back.This one's wild, honest, and packed with hope.

Knight Campbell turns mountains into meeting rooms. A former Navy helicopter pilot and Naval Academy leadership instructor, he now takes executive teams off-grid—rock climbing, rafting, and trekking—to work on the real “crux” of how they lead. Phones go away. Titles fade. Trust and honest talk show up. In his conversation with Ryan, Knight recalls a Joshua Tree client who lost service and then chose to keep her phone off until Monday, proving that awe and accountability open conversations no boardroom can. He shares a core lesson from the alpine: sometimes speed is safety, but great leaders fight the real enemy—hurry—by practicing presence.

In this episode of The Rainmaking Podcast, host Scott Love speaks with Tony Gray, author of The Business Development Body of Knowledge and founder of the Global Business Development Association, about how professionals can lead with trust in business development. Tony shares a neuroscience-based model of trust built on three pillars: purpose, empathy, and truth. He explains how these elements activate specific brain chemicals—oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin—that foster genuine connection and credibility. Rather than rely on anecdotal tactics, Tony advocates for a scientific, principle-based approach to building long-term business relationships, emphasizing that aligning with a prospect's purpose and being candid—even when it means saying you're not the right fit—can create lasting trust and unexpected referrals. The conversation also explores the differences between empathy and sympathy, how to build the “muscle memory” of candor, and why referrals are the most scalable form of business development. Tony introduces his framework for understanding the full customer journey—from awareness to advocacy—and shows how business development differs from sales or marketing in its exponential impact. With practical guidance and deep insight into human behavior, this episode delivers a compelling case for why professionals must build trust deliberately, not by chance.

It's the time of the year when we feature some of the smart conversations that occur around the country through the Eisenhower Series College Program. This episode features Christiana Crawford, Jody Daigle, and Amanda Raney as they examine the complex relationship between the United States and China. They joined podcast editor Ron Granieri to share their different yet complementary perspectives. Christiana emphasized the military's goal is to build strength to preserve peace, Jody drew parallels to the Peloponnesian War by highlighting fear, honor, and interest as drivers of conflict, and Amanda discussed the inherent tension of competing with China while also collaborating with it in critical fields like medicine. The speakers agreed that this complex relationship, full of both cooperation and competition, must be carefully managed. I have a much deeper understanding of that threat now after my studies here at the War College… I've wrestled with it and I've decided it's not a tension that can be resolved. It has to be managed. Christiana Crawford is a colonel, an operational planner and Western Europe Foreign area officer in the U.S. Marine Corps reserve. She was commissioned in 2004 from the U.S. Naval Academy. She recently served as the lead planner for Marine Corps Force modernization efforts in the Pacific. She is a graduate of the AY25 Resident Course and a member of the Eisenhower Series College Program at the U.S. Army War College. Jody Daigle was commissioned from the U.S. Military Academy in 2002 and is a colonel that has served for 23 years in the U.S. Army Infantry and Special Forces roles, with several combat deployments to Iraq and the Southern Philippines. His Indo-Pacific focus includes military capacity building and diplomatic service at U.S. embassies in India, China, and the Philippines. He is a graduate of the AY25 Resident Course and a member of the Eisenhower Series College Program at the U.S. Army War College. Amanda Ranney is a colonel and a medical operations planner in the Washington Army National Guard. She specializes in planning medical support for combat forces and leading medical units. Most recently, she commanded a multifunctional logistics battalion. In her civilian career, she manages clinical trials developing new cancer medicines. She is a graduate of the AY25 Resident Course and a member of the Eisenhower Series College Program at the U.S. Army War College.

Dean Wegner is a former Army Ranger, a West Point graduate, and now the CEO and co-founder of Authentically American, an apparel brand rooted in purpose. But more than that, he's a husband, a dad of four, and someone who truly understands what it means to lead with heart. We started this episode by connecting over something very personal. As many of you are aware, my son is currently attending the U.S. Naval Academy. That journey has opened my eyes to a whole new level of respect and awareness regarding military service, patriotism, and what it means to serve something greater than oneself. So when a listener suggested Dean as a guest, the timing could not have been better. Dean shared how his leadership journey began long before building a business. It started at home, and it was shaped by the values he learned in the military, including putting others first, leading by example, and building character when no one is watching. He discussed what it means to transition from focusing on personal growth to genuinely supporting and developing the people you lead. We also explored his pivot from a corporate career to entrepreneurship. Like many of us, he faced moments of doubt and unexpected challenges, especially during the early days of the pandemic. But Dean's story is an excellent reminder that hard work, faith, and staying true to one's mission can carry you through even the most challenging seasons. If you've ever questioned whether leading with heart is compatible with ambition and business success, this episode will encourage you. Dean is proof that you can grow a brand, serve a cause, and stay grounded in your values.

We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   Embracing Identity Transformation In the world of entrepreneurship, few stories are as compelling as that of “IRON” Mike Steadman: a former Marine officer, three-time national boxing champion, and now a category designer and advocate for Black veteran entrepreneurs. Mike's identity was deeply rooted in his military service. Transitioning to civilian life, he faced the challenge of being seen as "just a boxing coach" rather than the multifaceted leader he knew himself to be. Working with performance psychologists and entrepreneurial mental health coaches, Mike learned to step back and view himself from a broader perspective, a process he calls "psychological distancing.” By intentionally shaping his identity, Mike was able to move from being defined by his past roles to actively designing his future as an entrepreneur and advocate.   Resilience Through "Time Under Tension" Just as boxers build strength and skill through grueling training, entrepreneurs develop their instincts and capacity by enduring the pressures of business. When COVID-19 shut down Mike's in-person boxing business, he faced a moment of defeat. Instead of giving up, he used the crisis as a catalyst to pivot—launching a podcast and building a new business model from scratch.   Motivation Beyond Money Financial goals are important, but lasting motivation comes from deeper sources—purpose, impact, and community. Mike found that helping others succeed (as a ghostwriter and editor) was more fulfilling than chasing personal accolades. Inspired by a business coach's analogy, Mike emphasizes nurturing the "soil" of your life—health, relationships, and mentorship—so your business can thrive. Mike also noticed that as he hit financial milestones, the excitement faded. He began to set new, personal challenges—like running a marathon or reaching Everest Base Camp—to keep himself engaged and fulfilled.
