Chris McPhee is the founder of Green Beret Media, PMP expert, and the most honest straight shooter I know. I invited him to be on what is most likely the last episode of this podcast.

But Erik would argue that those folks are misrepresenting him and his endeavors.
In this interview Erik Prince shares some of his lessons learned in business, the qualities an entrepreneur needs to be successful, and offers some real insight into the controversy around him and his former company.

From The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon my guest is the amazing and hilarious Dion Flynn! I met Dion Flynn at a storytelling workshop in Washington D.C. courtesy of the Armed Forces Arts Partnership. An amazing teacher, comedian, and Veteran, Dion was gracious enough to be a guest on the show to talk about how his childhood influenced his comedy, making peace with a colorful military career, and how to do a good Barrack Obama impression. Easily one of my favorite podcast guests!
