“Cynicism is just another form of cowardice.”

– General James Mattis

Hello everyone, welcome to Episode #7 of the “Spotlight Podcast: Success Stories for Veterans” where it is our job to breakdown and analyze Titans in both the military and civilian communities to discover their tactics, mindset, and systems so that you can apply them to your life. Those titans range from NYT best-selling authors, to former heads of state, to other divergent thinkers who dominate their field by challenging conventional wisdom.

Today we are interviewing Former Secretary of Defense, General James Mattis.

This man’s resume speaks for itself. In this episode we discuss the strategic value of America’s veterans.

So what does General Mattis think? Listen and find out.

In addition to being a contributor to the Spotlight Podcast, Garett is also one of the rare breeds of people to have a very successful and seamless military transition without running into the existential crisis many of us experience. Garett has excellent insight into keeping things together while transitioning out of the military.

So how does he do it? Listen and find out.
