Great leaders exist in every industry. When we think about great leaders we often remember the things they did. But what's more important is the impact they had on individuals, teams, organizations and society.For the second episode of our 2023 NYC Veterans Day Parade Series, Fran Racioppi and Psychotherapist Drew Newkirk welcomed two Green Berets from very different wars creating impact across generations. CSM Richard Rice served as a Green Beret in MACV-SOG in Vietnam and later became one of the founding members of Delta Force. Jason McCarthy served in 10th Special Forces during the Iraq war and went on to found GORUCK. Today they're swapping roles as mentor and mentee as they apply their lessons from Special Forces to entrepreneurism, fitness, mental health and building community. We show you how to build organizations on character, why we must embrace challenge, how to live a life of bias for action, and how society is shaped by America's Veterans after their military service. Drew also explores the difficulty elite performers have as they age and become friendless men; something scary to many of us. America became the greatest country in the history of the world because of a national call to service since the Boston Massacre. Today, the world is more dangerous than ever. It's time we bring America's people back together, rebuild our community and keep America atop the world order. Learn more on The Jedburgh Podcast Website.

6ers, in business and in the military, vulnerability is often seen as a weakness. For leaders, it is seen as a liability because they are expected to be quick to act and perform at a higher level than others leaving time for emotions in the dust. But to be an effective leader, you need to be authentic which means you need to access your vulnerable, inner world. This week, Tony Nash is joined by Lisa Jaster, a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Army Reserve, a public speaker, an engineer, and an athlete. As the first female reserve officer to become a Ranger she is now a sought-after leadership speaker, owing to her incredible story of success after two attempts at finishing Ranger School.

As a result, you'll understand that any organization under empathetic leadership has team members that feel more connected to their work and to each other which creates an overall positive experience.

In today's show, we are putting George Randle in your passenger seat to discuss his book, “The Talent War.” George Randle is an experienced talent executive, veteran, coach, and leader known for selecting, building, and reorganizing teams to reach their full business potential. George has 20+ years of Fortune 100 and Fortune 1000 global Human Resources and Talent Acquisition experience building and coaching elite teams. He began his professional life by enlisting in the US Army Reserves. While serving in the USAR, he received his bachelor's degree from Missouri State University and was commissioned as an officer. His career assignments included Berlin, US CENTCOM, and III Corps with deployments to Africa (Somalia and Kenya), Central America, and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Following his successful military career, George transitioned to the corporate world, experiencing many of the same challenges Veterans face today. With these challenges, along with the recognition that building elite teams are his true passion, George ultimately transitioned to the Human Resources and Talent Acquisition functions serving the last 10+ years as a global HR executive and leader.  Over the course of his time as an executive, the teams George has built and led have hired over 85,000 professionals, including over 2000 executives. He is also known for his decades of work supporting veterans and their transitions, ultimately creating one of the largest and most successful Veteran Hiring Programs for a Global Fortune 50 firm.

This week Kevin and Stewart sit down and rewind the latest meeting of the TEXO Executive Development Committee which featured the guest speaker, Mike Sarraille Founder and CEO of Talent War Group and ATTA , Co-Author of The Talent War, Men's Journal The Everyday Warrior Series, and podcast host.  The team took pages and pages of notes and believed it was worth circling back to pass along some of that wisdom to listeners.  The highlights include a dissection of Denis Rodman with the Chicago Bulls, looking outside of traditional channels to find qualified candidates your available jobs, the seven attributes of a leader, a story about Dan Gable, a story about David Hackworth, and a shout-out to Dr. Johnny Kim.

George Randle is a former US Army Officer, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of The Talent War Group and Co-Author of “The Talent War”. With a 20 year career in talent acquisition George has hired over 80,000 people. He and his co-author (Ex-Navy Seal, Mike Saraille) say that many organizations are losing the war for talent, and because of that, they are not only losing their best people, but also competitive advantage, market share, and are in danger of going out of business. But they also say there is a solution, but only for those who are smart enough — to listen. In this interview George offers career-altering advice as employees (and employers) everywhere navigate “The Great Resignation”. In this interview we get into the following topics: [00:00:00] Employees are leaving their jobs in hordes. Why? [00:03:09] Employees are highly disengaged, is it the leader’s fault? [00:05:57] Are these major job market shifts positive? [00:07:10] How are companies responding to the Great Resignation? [00:09:35] How Leadership is responding to the Great Resignation [00:11:37] How effective is Zoom-communication REALLY? [00:14:01] Resumes – what would immediately disqualify a candidate? [00:16:38] How do the elite prepare for an interview? [00:21:42] Universal interview questions everyone should be able to answer [00:24:25] GOLD – George’s last thoughts on the Great Resignation MUST SEE!

In this episode of the Millionaire Mindcast, we have a wonderful guest Mike Sarraille, who shares his military journey, how his life was saved by a comrade during a combat mission, leaderships, why self-preservation is vital for being a leader, the significance of training and managing talent, feedback loop and self-assessment, and the secrets on how to be a millionaire!

When Mike retires from the military after 20 years of service, that's when he starts having self-reflection, conceptualizing things, and learning from his experiences. He realized that leadership, skills, and characteristics evolved during those dark times in the military field. Thus, he let himself grow and learn the things he must know and use this to make a new career in entrepreneurship.  Now, he has become one of the experts in this field. Prior to that, he experiences ups and downs. But even with having that tough-guy persona, he believes that in order to stay in the game, you should not be afraid to talk to people when you're feeling off, and ultimately seek God's help. One thing that he encourages young people to do! Some Questions I Ask: For those who don't know who Mike is, and what EF Overwatch is, give us a little bit of a background, and history real quick? (00:52) Being able to humanize such a dark part of the military, and still be able to perform and function insanely, where do those that come from? (02:58) Going back to your own journey, what were some of those moments that you felt like you wanted to quit, and what got you pushing through? (05:33) You mentioned, leadership, skills, and characteristics evolved during some of those dark times, what does your reflective process look like? How should people who want to be great leaders deal with trauma or challenges, process some of these things, and use them as weapons instead of hiding them out and being ashamed of them? (08:10) How did you have this patience and persistence to keep pushing every day no matter what was in front of you?  (14:03) You talk about recharge, what do you do to refill the cup? (16:59) If you were to give yourself an award for quality or characteristic that you're at least led to that you felt was your superpower that you had a little bit of an edge on your brothers and sisters, what would that be and why? (19:05) How do you unplug and come home and still live intentionally with your wife, your family, and your health beyond just the “job or the career that you've chosen for yourself”? (20:42) With the people around you that you give permission to kind of hold you accountable, how critical is that not only in the team and in the organizational environment but in the personal environment for people to really achieve optimum and peak performance and just get the most out of themselves in life? (23:23) It takes time to be an expert in a particular field, how do you communicate that to the young hustler? (33:27) What are some of the best organizations doing in terms of motivating, inspiring, empowering, and really equipping their people? How are they helping them sharpen their axes, and what does that look like in today's landscape? (37:29) How does preparation tie into this civilian and entrepreneurial world? (44:51) Just give us a broad spectrum on what the Talent War Group has to offer for the individuals that want to engage with you guys? (47:33) In This Episode, You Will Learn: Feedback loop: Why you need to slow down when bad things happen (09:30) Mike's definition of courage (12:04) The 4 must-characteristics on to be a high performer in the operation (24:36) The steps on how to get more money (31:35) Quotes: “It's okay to talk to people when you're feeling off.” “Impact into others in a life of constant achievement.” “The greatest currency in life is not money, it impacts other people.” “As a leader, you wait for the last.” “If you're completely selfless, and you're giving to others, there's a point to where you can't give anymore.” “It's the small little things that indirect approach that ultimately leads you to make more money or whatever goal you want to reach.” “Good things take time.” “There is an infinite return on investing in people.” “If you don't manage your talent, your talent will leave you.” “You can never eliminate risks but you can mitigate it through preparation.” “Fortune actually favors the prepared.” “The people that are victims in life are the ones that were ill-prepared.” “People don't rise to the occasion at the end of the day, they fall to the rebel of training.” Connect with Mike Sarraile on: The Talent War Group The Talent War book by Mike Sarraile

In this episode of the Millionaire Mindcast, we have a wonderful guest Mike Sarraille, who shares his military journey, how his life was saved by a comrade during a combat mission, leaderships, why self-preservation is vital for being a leader, the significance of training and managing talent, feedback loop and self-assessment, and the secrets on how to be a millionaire! Mike Sarraille is an entrepreneur, a keynote speaker, an expert in leadership development, talent acquisition, and talent management, a retired U.S. Navy SEAL officer and a former enlisted Recon Marine and Scout-Sniper, a former principal at Echelon Front, a management consulting firm alongside the co-authors of Extreme Ownership, Jocko Willink, and Leif Babin. He is the founder, managing partner, and CEO of EF Overwatch, a specialized executive search firm, and talent advisory that finds high-performing business leaders for senior, executive, or other critical leadership positions. Also, he co-authored the book, ‘The Talent War: How Special Operations and Great Organizations Win on Talent' and a columnist for Men's Journal and Men's Fitness under ‘The Everyday Warrior' column. When Mike retires from the military after 20 years of service, that's when he starts having self-reflection, conceptualizing things, and learning from his experiences. He realized that leadership, skills, and characteristics evolved during those dark times in the military field. Thus, he let himself grow and learn the things he must know and use this to make a new career in entrepreneurship.  Now, he has become one of the experts in this field. Prior to that, he experiences ups and downs. But even with having that tough-guy persona, he believes that in order to stay in the game, you should not be afraid to talk to people when you're feeling off, and ultimately seek God's help. One thing that he encourages young people to do! Some Questions I Ask: For those who don't know who Mike is, and what EF Overwatch is, give us a little bit of a background, and history real quick? (00:52) Being able to humanize such a dark part of the military, and still be able to perform and function insanely, where do those that come from? (02:58) Going back to your own journey, what were some of those moments that you felt like you wanted to quit, and what got you pushing through? (05:33) You mentioned, leadership, skills, and characteristics evolved during some of those dark times, what does your reflective process look like? How should people who want to be great leaders deal with trauma or challenges, process some of these things, and use them as weapons instead of hiding them out and being ashamed of them? (08:10) How did you have this patience and persistence to keep pushing every day no matter what was in front of you?  (14:03) You talk about recharge, what do you do to refill the cup? (16:59) If you were to give yourself an award for quality or characteristic that you're at least led to that you felt was your superpower that you had a little bit of an edge on your brothers and sisters, what would that be and why? (19:05) How do you unplug and come home and still live intentionally with your wife, your family, and your health beyond just the “job or the career that you've chosen for yourself”? (20:42) With the people around you that you give permission to kind of hold you accountable, how critical is that not only in the team and in the organizational environment but in the personal environment for people to really achieve optimum and peak performance and just get the most out of themselves in life? (23:23) It takes time to be an expert in a particular field, how do you communicate that to the young hustler? (33:27) What are some of the best organizations doing in terms of motivating, inspiring, empowering, and really equipping their people? How are they helping them sharpen their axes, and what does that look like in today's landscape? (37:29) How does preparation tie into this civilian and entrepreneurial world? (44:51) Just give us a broad spectrum on what the Talent War Group has to offer for the individuals that want to engage with you guys? (47:33) In This Episode, You Will Learn: Feedback loop: Why you need to slow down when bad things happen (09:30) Mike's definition of courage (12:04) The 4 must-characteristics on to be a high performer in the operation (24:36) The steps on how to get more money (31:35) Quotes: “It's okay to talk to people when you're feeling off.” “Impact into others in a life of constant achievement.” “The greatest currency in life is not money, it impacts other people.” “As a leader, you wait for the last.” “If you're completely selfless, and you're giving to others, there's a point to where you can't give anymore.” “It's the small little things that indirect approach that ultimately leads you to make more money or whatever goal you want to reach.” “Good things take time.” “There is an infinite return on investing in people.” “If you don't manage your talent, your talent will leave you.” “You can never eliminate risks but you can mitigate it through preparation.” “Fortune actually favors the prepared.” “The people that are victims in life are the ones that were ill-prepared.” “People don't rise to the occasion at the end of the day, they fall to the rebel of training.” Connect with Mike Sarraile on: The Talent War Group The Talent War book by Mike Sarraile

What can business organizations learn from the military when it comes to talent management and leadership development? Those who have been in the trenches, leading people through some of the most difficult and risky missions in the world know that people are everything. Mike Sarraille and George Randle are two of the authors of The Talent War, an incredibly insightful work that examines the parallels between the talent management practices of special operations forces and the most successful organizations in the world. Aiming to empower small and medium businesses to achieve excellence every day, Mike and George founded the Talent War Group, a cadre of highly-experienced SOF leaders and business executives who understand the critical importance of human capital management. Listen in as they share some of the principles they talked about in their book as they join Fran Racioppi on this first episode of The Jedburgh Podcast. Read the full episode transcription here and learn more on The Jedburgh Podcast Website.Highlights:-Why Special Operations uses nine characteristics of elite performance to recruit, assess, select and train its people and how the nine are required to build elite performers in any organization. -What it means and why organizations must “hire for character, train for skill.”-Entrepreneurs exist at all levels of an organization; Mike & George explain how encouraging an entrepreneurial spirit drives productivity and innovation.-Assessing people's response after failure is an important indicator of their character and potential for future success; George describes the most common results of failure given by candidates in the interview process. -Mike provides the tools leaders need to determine and accept risk in order to see risk as opportunities to improve the organization. -The keys to introspective leadership and self evaluation on a continuous basis.-Mike candidly describes the importance of a “tribe” and how the strongest people and organizations rely on a strong sense of community, camaraderie and team.-How the "whole-man" concept requires leaders to evaluate talent on the totality of what they bring to the organization and how they enhance all aspects of the team in addition to their personal skill set or subject-matter expertise. Quotes:-”A transformational leader builds genuine relationships with their people. They are willing to pay the rent.”-”What are we doing? What should we be doing.”-”What makes Special Operations so special is that they have to be experts in potential-based hiring.”-”I want everyone to be a disruptive thinker. I want everyone to have a sense of autonomy over their lives and their jobs. Ownership to make decisions at their respective level.”-“99% of people see risk and it automatically triggers fear.”-“Everyone has failed at something they tried.”“Iron sharpens iron.” Mike's Three Daily Foundations of Success:-Develop a growth mindset-Demonstrate humility-Maintain your tribe George's Three Daily Foundations of Success:-Persistence in personal growth-Have faith in self, tribe and your team-Love and appreciate those around you

Organizations will fail without transformative leaders. The Jedburgh Podcast is a conversation with prominent visionaries, drivers of change and those dedicated to winning. In May 1943 the Allied Forces determined a new type of leader was required to win World War II as an Axis victory seemed certain. These leaders would be assessed using a specific set of character traits, but selected using the “whole-man” concept; a combination of traits needed to simply get things done and win no matter the challenge. Code-named Jedburghs, three-man teams parachuted behind enemy lines onto the shores of occupied France during the nighttime hours before D-Day. Their only directive...Win the war at all costs. With little guidance and scarce resources, 200 specially selected, highly trained, innovative leaders helped turn the tide of the war.Hosted by former Special Forces Green Beret, Fran Racioppi, each episode is an in-depth discussion with trailblazers who have earned success through a dedication to talent development, preparation, introspection and the drive to get things done. Our conversation will empower listeners to define success and operate at an elite level, regardless of the task at hand. Jedburghs lived by the mantra that how you prepare today, determines success tomorrow. The Jedburgh Podcast is sponsored by Talent War Group, an executive search firm and talent advisory.
