For this special episode of Dark Sabre, we are proud to present you all with what can only be explained as a lesson in leadership and other winning qualities. We sit down with retired Army Major, Dr. Richard Hughbank. Coming from a military family did not quite mean that Dr. Hughbank initially wanted to carry on the family tradition. Having respect for the trade and wanting to be involved first hand are two different things. But once he joined, Dr. Hughbank did not look back. After cross commissioning from Air Force to Army, multiple combat deployments in OIF and OEF, and helping mold young military leaders at both West Point and USAFA… Ret. Maj. Hughbank decided to take on a new challenge in the civilian sector- earning himself a Doctorate. He began educating others about firearms, as well as leadership. He has contributed to multiple literary works including The Dynamics of Terror…a look into what makes and creates the modern terrorist. We hope that you enjoy this candid conversation with an inspirational man who has been to hell and back…and lived to share his knowledge. To purchase ‘The Dynamics of Terror” visit: https://www.amazon.com/Dynamics-Terror-Hughbank-Perfect-Paperback/dp/B011MEK6A6/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=Hughbank&qid=1633471288&sr=8-8 ,~ Podcast graphics by Navy Veteran *Brandon Tomason*, Owner and head designer of Veterans Apparel IG: @veterans.apparel Website: Veteransapparel.org , ~Music by Army Veteran, musician, artist, activist *YETI TEARS*IG: @yetitearsSpotify: Yeti Tears Twitch: yetitears ~HonorHillTacticalIG & Facebook: @honorhilltactical Links: https://linktr.ee/HHTmedia , ~Adam DeRitoIG: @adam.deritoFacebook & Twitter: Adam DeRito ~Dogs4Vets trains and certifies Veterans and service dogs as a team.

David Johnson speaks with Aaron Bare, a multi-talented entrepreneur who is co-founder of the HeroZona Foundation, which serves the Arizona veteran community and national veteran interests.Aaron Bare calls himself a “micro-entrepreneur”, meaning he's used a model to start a lot of different companies (3 non-profits, 12 companies sold) and then finds management teams to take them and accelerate them. Aaron's experience helps veterans to really understand the process to move from having a great idea, to put it into practice in a business solution.David Johnson speaks with Bare about a new program he's launching - the Heropreneur Academy - an entrepreneurial incubator designed specifically for active military veterans and their spouses to teach and promote entrepreneurship.Bare notes that the Foundation's free course will help veterans basically incubate their idea, test to see if it solves a problem for consumers, and see how it tests with customers.Currently, Aaron Bare is Co-Founder & Vice-Chairman of HeroZona Foundation; Founder of Namaste Republic, the Arizona Accelerator, & Author of Reimagining Innovation. He also teaches courses on entrepreneurship and innovation and has a wide-ranging background in entrepreneurial business.The David Johnson Show is a veteran talk show and growing voice of interest within our cultural – The Military and Veteran Cultural.More so than ever the Military and Veteran community has created a culture in America. A sub-culture unique to our way of life, our experiences and the language we speak. Military forces have been deploying to fight the war on terrorism since 09/11/2001 and remain engaged in combat operations to this day.We have seen the good, the bad and the ugly. This mindset of a Soldier, Airman, Sailor or Marine is never lost. Yes, the individual will exit the Military and start a new chapter in their life, however, the culture never dies. Watch the video of this podcast on  veteran entrepreneurship.
