Today's Dropping Bombs episode delivers battlefield-forged leadership wisdom with Dr. Damon Friedman — retired Air Force Special Operations Lt. Colonel, three-time Bronze Star recipient, and founder of SOF Missions, a nonprofit fighting the veteran suicide epidemic killing 20+ Americans a day.
From juvenile delinquent in South LA to elite special warfare officer with four combat deployments, Dr. Friedman breaks down why comfort is a disease, the one character trait that kills more companies than bad strategy, and the leadership lessons most CEOs will never learn unless they've operated where failure means death — not a bad quarter.
Twenty veterans will take their lives today. Dr. Friedman has made it his mission to stop that — and this conversation is part of how. Buy the book, share the episode, support the mission.
