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."
