Send a text to GettingFED with Go-To-Guy

On April 11th at the Olive Theater on Fort Knox, Dolores Kuchina-Musina, Raj Sharma, and I facilitated a discussion at the 2024 U.S. Army Human Resources Command (HRC) and U.S. Army Recruiting Command (USAREC) Conversation with Industry (CWI) at the request of our friend Mike Carroll of HRC. The topic of our discussion at HRC CWI is Using Small Business to Drive Innovation, and we decided to do a warm-up on the GettingFED podcast. During our chat we talked about what innovation is, stigmas and risk associated with innovation, and the different flavors of innovation. Let us know what you think!
