Welcome to a new episode of Patriot on Purpose. Today, we’re joined by Bruce Cardenas, a man whose journey has spanned from military service to entrepreneurial heights. Bruce shares his experiences from serving in the military and law enforcement to playing a pivotal role in a billion-dollar company. We dive deep into what it means to live the American dream, the significance of mentorship, and the power of resilience. Tune in to hear Bruce's inspiring story and gain insights on leadership, patriotism, and the drive that propels one to extraordinary success.


Highlights :
"Patriot to me is, you know, living the American dream, believing in the Declaration of Independence, and what our forefathers laid down for us to have a great, you know, country of freedom."


"The Marine Corps was life-changing for me... It defined me as a young man and instilled in me discipline, respect, communication, and daily accountability."


"You don't have to, per se, serve. But I think if you're going to lead [the military], you should have a certain level of respect and engagement for what they do."
