POGO has been two decades in the making, born while I was designing leadership development programs and asking myself one simple question: “And?”
Over 100,000 participants completed one of four levels of development, yet only a handful emerged as true leaders. It forced me to confront a hard reality:
Are you an imposter just faking it, a performer role‑playing leadership, or a true leader?
POGO is my answer to that question.

If you want to understand the objective research behind how James Fishback ended up where he is in the 2026 gubernatorial race, and why he may well be handing the Governor’s Mansion to David Jolly, it’s actually very simple: institutional rejection pushed him onto a survival path where the institution could no longer reject him.
What happens next is anyone’s guess. https://t.co/2R5h9GNjxl
What if Florida's political future is being shaped more by generations than by political parties?
After months of analyzing Florida voter registration data through the lens of Strauss-Howe's Fourth Turning theory, I found a pattern that may explain what's happening in Florida, and where we're headed next.
📊 Key findings:
• Republicans hold a historic 1.5 million voter registration advantage
• 3.3 million Floridians are NPA, closely mirroring Democratic losses
• Millennials and Gen Z are reshaping Florida's electorate in ways generational theory predicted decades ago
• Leading gubernatorial candidates reflect distinct generational archetypes that may influence their electoral ceilings
This isn't just another election analysis.
It's a framework for understanding Florida's political future.

Do you think generational change is becoming a bigger force in politics than party affiliation?

I'm curious as to why you resigned from Fishback. I notice you used the words "groyper incels," and this caught my attention as that is precisely the shift I've seen in Fishback as he migrated from Charlie Kirk coat tails to Zohran Mamdani. I asked as I'm a dr in ed and researching what makes your generation political tick. Thank you.
Bravery. Courage. Duty. Honor. Respect.
I had the privilege of serving as an honor guard in France during the 50th anniversary commemoration of D-Day.
Standing on that hallowed ground, those words became more than history—they became real.
I wasn't standing on the sidelines of history. I was standing within it. What I didn't fully understand then was how that single day would shape my future.
I prayed that if history ever called again, I would have the courage to step forward.
Today, we honor the heroes of D-Day and all who continue to serve and defend the United States of America.
God bless their souls, and God bless our nation.
🇺🇸 Never Forget.
With six generations overlapping during this Fourth Turning crisis, our failure to pause, reflect, and forge a common path forward could push the United States beyond polarization and into open civil unrest; not on our children's watch, but on ours.
The evidence points to a fifth dimension of intelligence that remains largely overlooked. It may be the critical factor that even Sigmund Freud missed, and the key to preventing another civil war.
Take the free assessment and see if it's accurate about your generation. Then take it from the lens of your child and see the difference.

If you want to understand November’s general election, start by understanding what James Fishback is doing with Florida’s 18–40-year-old voters, now the state’s most hotly contested voting bloc. https://t.co/kbkwhLwIku
Generation Intelligence (Gen I): How Every Generation Was Built for Its Moment, and What Leaders Must Do to Bridge the Divide
NEW PORT RICHEY, FL — Dr. Kirk Phillips, retired United States Air Force officer, co-founder of the Leadership Foundry, and nationally recognized subject matter expert on AI adoption in education, announces the release of Generation Intelligence (Gen I) — the definitive leadership framework for understanding, developing, and leading across six living generations in the most generationally complex workforce in American history.
Drawing on the Strauss-Howe Generational Theory, decades of Pew Research data, and a career spent developing leaders in military and civilian organizations, Dr. Phillips introduces the Gen I Window, the 8-to-12-year formative period in which the communication technology of each era permanently shapes how a generation thinks, leads, follows, and finds meaning. Mapped across five intelligences, cognitive (IQ), emotional (EQ), social (SQ), spiritual (SpQ), and artificial intelligence readiness (AQ), the Gen I framework gives leaders a practical, research-grounded model for closing the gaps that are fracturing their organizations, units, and institutions.
You were never just being studied by algorithms…
You were helping train the future of intelligence itself.
Now humanity is entering a new era where Emotional Intelligence (EQ), Social Intelligence (SQ), and Artificial Intelligence (AIQ) are converging into something bigger:
Generation Intelligence (Gen I)
The question is no longer: “Will AI change the world?”
The question is: Will humanity evolve with it?
More to come...

The Florida governor’s race may be far closer than many people think because an 80-year social shift is now colliding with modern American politics.
Florida may no longer be just a swing state. It could become the first real preview of America’s next political era. And Florida may be where the country first sees that future.
What’s happening is no longer simply Republican vs Democrat.
Beneath the surface, a deeper transformation is unfolding, driven by generational replacement, the collapse of institutional trust, and two competing visions for the country's future.
Leading up to May 25th, Memorial Day...
Few first-person accounts trace an unbroken line from the day the Pentagon burned to the day the Afghan government fled.
Some stories begin with history.
This one begins inside it.
The final chapter confronts the fall of Kabul with sober clarity; not outrage, not politics, but the perspective of someone who was there from the beginning and watched twenty years of sacrifice dissolve into a breaking news crawl.
