One of the things I like best about Pips NYT is that it doesn’t take a huge time commitment. You can play for just a few minutes or for a long session, and it’s equally enjoyable both ways.
Really powerful breakdown — from the Coast Guard start to the lessons in Ramadi. The part about humility in leadership (01:30) really hit hard. Respect to the 228th Brigade Combat Team.

Really powerful read—I liked how General Greg Knight tied battlefield lessons to broader leadership insights, showing that resilience and decision-making under pressure apply far beyond the military. It reminded me of *Estatus de la Beca Rita Cetina*, where guidance through challenges also helps students stay steady under stressful conditions. Do you think strong leadership is built more through intense experiences like these, or through consistent practice over time?

This is a conversation about courage, responsibility, failure, and growth. Thank you for bringing out this honest, poignant, yet hopeful voice. I look forward to more podcasts like this, and I hope everyone who reads this episode will avoid detours and persevere in their own battles.
