https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-cutlass-podcast/id1509602289

The podcast works to introduce listeners to the social science and experiences of others to help them reflect on and improve their leadership and management skills to best achieve their goals and bring out the best in their people. The cutlass is historically known as the Sailor’s weapon of choice. Although less ornate and requiring less formal training than the sword, the cutlass was robust enough to use for the fighting and heavy cutting work required on ships of sail and short enough to be used in close quarters and below decks. Simple in construction but sturdy and versatile, it could be used in a variety of routine and combat applications. The name Cutlass Podcast is appropriate because the characteristics of the cutlass reflect the nature of enlisted naval professional leadership–tough, versatile, and most effective when used up close. 

Prior guests include retired Fleet Master Chiefs Beldo and Benning, and CMC James Parlier who was the CMC on USS COLE when she was bombed. 

The podcast is hosted by retired Fleet Master Chief, and author of the second edition of the Chief Petty Officer’s Guide, Paul Kingsbury. He can be reached at cutlassleadserhip@gmail.com and the website is www.cutlassleadership.com

The focus of our show is to address and fill the voids leadership has by infusing practical and executable knowledge of the areas (versus things) leaders are missing most. Our audience is made up of mostly military personnel, veterans, military spouses, first responders, and patriots at heart. Our guests are those in the Military-centric Community composed of Veterans, Military Spouses, or Government Officials that have transitioned from the military and have ventured into starting their own business or have risen to the highest positions of the corporate structure. All of our guests are notable in their own right but we have had Larry Broughton, SEA Tony Whitehead and CMS Denise Jelinski-Hall, MCPON Steven Giordano, Meghan Ogilvie, Matt Sapaula, Scott MacGregor, Moni Jefferson, FLTCM’s John Minyard, April Beldo, and Raymond Kemp, Dr. Mark Hertling (LTG), Chris Wayne, Stephanie Brown and in November we are honored to have David H. Petraeus. We exist to address voids in leadership that will add value to emerging and existing leaders in addition share what several leaders will shy away from addressing. Another benefit is to showcase the great work our Armed Forces members and MilSpouses are doing in the Community after their Military transition. The show is co-hosted by Enrique Acosta Gonzalez (Navy) and Vincent Loran (Air Force). We can be contacted by email at theleadershipvoid@gmail.com or individually via LinkedIn

The Veteran (Semi) Professional is the podcast associated with The Veteran Professional blog which was started to share information and resources with veterans interested in entrepreneurship, higher education, and professional careers. Our podcast is intended for post-military veterans. Most of our guests are successful veterans who’ve found careers beyond what they did within the military and obtained their MBA. Some guests include Aaron Newsome, John Crowley, and Mike Donnelly.

We have two forms of the podcast:

The Weekly SITREP: We discuss politics and business news from the past week to help service members understand the civilian operating environment and inform them as they look to their post-military career. 

Interviews: We interview veterans about their lives and careers after the military to show the paths and options that are out there.  Having the podcast allows us to get into other issues, like mental health, affecting the veteran community. The Host: Mark Delaney, and Brendan.

Welcome to the podcast directed specifically at the professional and leadership development of junior enlisted Sailors and military members. Our guests are active duty and former active duty sailors, specifically senior enlisted. We recognized what we considered to be a tremendous void in the training and preparation of junior enlisted Sailors for success during their first term in the Navy. Between Recruit Training and the Senior Enlisted Academy (SEA) in Newport, Rhode Island, there is no formal leadership training for Sailors. Outside of command delivered courses like Petty Officer Leadership Courses (Indoctrination) and Sailor 360, the resources don’t exist to prepare junior Sailors for the tremendous upheaval and challenges they face. We aim to do just that. The speaker is a 19-year active duty Senior Chief Petty Officer on submarines. He has served in positions such as Division and Department Leading Chief Petty Officer, Command Career Counselor, Naval Military Training Coordinator, Master Training Specialist Coordinator, Senior Enlisted Advisor of an “A” School, Supply Department Enlisted Advisor on submarines and is currently serving as Food Service Officer on a flagstaff. While not going out of the way to hide the identity of our contributors, we will not advertise the names as this is not about them. It’s about you
