Warriors, Fall in…Today we are joined with an 8-year Army Veteran who was inspired to further his education after speaking with Sergeant Major of the Army Kenneth O.

So, we'll get more into that story.Our guest today is now a writer in Hollywood who also managed to break into the Tensiltown scene by selling one of his own shows to the likes of Matt Damon and Peter Berg.Since then, he's also created more shows with big names and is now the founder of a startup tech company that helps protect artists from large corporation and the questionable accounting practices that take place in Hollywood. I'd like to welcome Daril Fannin to The Morning Formation Podcast.Connect with Daril on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/darilfannin/Connect with Daril via LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/daril-fannin-98b72333/Become an Early Investor into Kino!https://www.kinoapp.xyz

It's a question every NCO asks themselves at some point: What can I actually do to make a difference? Sgt. 1st Class Aaron M.

Command Sergeant Major (Ret) Troy Welch interviews Aaron about his work in helping to set up Spain's first sniper school, sharing his experiences at conferences, and how Aaron's view of NATO has changed during his time in Spain. (And yes, Aaron is Troy's nephew, so expect many “proud uncle” moments.) Guest: SFC Aaron M.
