About this podcast
Welcome to *Go Bold!* This podcast is a voice for those that serve their nation and their communities - people that I like to think of as heroes!
I believe the best stories are those that are told by the ones that lived them, and that's exactly what you'll hear on this podcast. Our guests include senior military leaders and warfighters from around the globe, and executives in the aerospace and defence industry. We'll learn about their careers and the amazing things they do.
You'll hear discussions on military exercises and operations, the geopolitical security environment, military platforms, and current events in science & technology and innovation. We'll also seek out life lessons and leadership skills as we go.
Our guests are genuine heroes, and our episodes are informative, insightful and fun! There's no script here, just open freewheeling conversation.
Join us as we *Go Bold* !
