The strongest leaders walk behind, giving others the confidence to take charge, which is the true art of redundant leadership. It is about influence, not authority. Walking behind doesn’t mean you’re not leading. It means you’re guiding, supporting, and letting others take ownership.

Remember, a title doesn’t make you a leader; your actions do.

Happy Birthday to the U.S. Marine Corps! Since November 10, 1775, the Marines have upheld a legacy of honor, courage, and commitment, serving and protecting with unparalleled dedication. Today, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and unity of all Marines, past and present, who have answered the call. Here’s to 249 years of faithful service and sacrifice for our nation. Semper Fi!

Nearly 4 weeks out here in WNC from Helene and the scars are deep. Here are a few before and afters. First set shows 8 homes along the Swannanoa River that were all swept away and the second set shows an apartment complex where a portion washed away. Just surreal for my hometown

Before TAPS at the D-Day Anniversary, it was announced to, “Stand if you can…”

This WWII Veteran stood. He couldn’t do it on his own, but due to his honor, was determined to do so.

One generation gave everything for the flag, that allows for the current one to burn it.

Special moment for this WWII Veteran visiting Utah Beach (Normandy) for D-Day’s 80th Anniversary 🙏🏼

We salute you sir and thank you for your service 🫡🇺🇸
