In this episode of Strength From Service, we sit down with Brian Taylor, a National Guard veteran who deployed to Bosnia and Iraq before building a career at Mankato Motors.
Brian shares stories from his time in uniform, the lessons learned while serving overseas, and how those same values—discipline, teamwork, and service—shaped his approach to leadership and business. We dive into the transition from the military to civilian life, the importance of community, and what it means to carry forward a spirit of service no matter where life takes you.
This conversation is a blend of grit, humility, and inspiration—whether you’re a veteran, a leader, or someone chasing purpose in your own career.
