036: Insights on Life, Business, & Leadership From a War Veteran Turned Entrepreneur & Tech COO with Randall Crowder

"Leaders can't afford not to ask people for help because if somebody in your chain of command has a really good idea, that can make your business, it can make your pitch, it can bring people home alive. You need to surface that kind of insight." – Randall Crowder

How does it feel to be told you're going to war? In this episode of The Modern Man, I speak with Randall Crowder, an angel investor, advisor, entrepreneur, veteran, and COO of the Austin-based tech company, Phunware. Randall is passionate about creating new ventures and the innovative spirit that fuels entrepreneurs and advances technology. He's here to talk about leadership, entrepreneurship, and translating your military skills to the business world.

Randall has an incredible collection of life experiences that have shaped him as a man, leader, husband, and soon-to-be father. Randall and I talk about what it takes to successfully transition out of the military and into civilian life, how to get a mentor and get your ideas heard, and a few parenting techniques that can help you raise your children to be successful adults.
