TISB #10 | Tony Trisilla | Military Veteran | USPS Retiree | Fmr. Business Owner

I had the honor, pleasure and privilege of hosting Tony Trisilla on The Idea Sandbox Podcast, a Midwestern and American treasure who’s served in various branches of the Armed Forces (Marines, Air Force & Army), a Letter Carrier and Building Maintenance Worker with the US Postal Service (USPS) both for longer than 3+ decades, a cleaning, landscaping & maintenance business owner for a decade, coached various sports teams both for a decade, worked as a Government Military Contractor, helped start a Community Bible Church in Knoxville IL, helped start the Galesburg Christian School in Galesburg, IL, a very Conscientious, Morally Centered and a Driven American Gem in my humble opinion. Please watch, listen, participate and hopefully take away something useful. theideasandboxpodcast.com Love, Cheers and Peace Rajeev TISB 00:00:00 Start 00:03:29 How is Tony such a Prolific Worker? 00:06:13 Power of Timely Decision Making 00:09:08 Tony's Work Philosophy 00:11:58 Education with a Purpose 00:18:13 Teaching the Younger Generation to Think Independently 00:27:16 Effects of Building Up Vs Breaking Down Young Minds 00:29:17 Learning By Doing 00:31:33 Tony's Polish Roots & Hustle Mentality 00:35:11 Dignity of Labor 00:39:45 Tony's Military Experience 00:47:59 Switching from the Army to Air Force and losing a few ranks 00:50:48 Being E9 in 2 Different Branches of the Military 00:52:06 Coaching & Mentoring 00:55:28 Rather go Short than Stupid 00:58:22 Not Succumbing to Peer Pressure 01:04:25 Working for the Postal Service 01:09:13 Combat Experiences 01:16:16 Mindset During War 01:20:57 What does it mean to defend America or Patriotism or the values of the West? 01:23:38 Dealing with being gone to fight a war 01:27:10 Managing the stress of being deployed on a Marriage and Family Life 01:32:23 Mechanics of Deployment 01:36:51 Iraqi Commitment to Democratic Process 01:42:05 Vibe of Combat Environment .css-j9qmi7{display:-webkit-box;display:-webkit-flex;display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;-webkit-flex-direction:row;-ms-flex-direction:row;flex-direction:row;font-weight:700;margin-bottom:1rem;margin-top:2.8rem;width:100%;-webkit-box-pack:start;-ms-flex-pack:start;-webkit-justify-content:start;justify-content:start;padding-left:5rem;}@media only screen and (max-width: 599px){.css-j9qmi7{padding-left:0;-webkit-box-pack:center;-ms-flex-pack:center;-webkit-justify-content:center;justify-content:center;}}.css-j9qmi7 svg{fill:#27292D;}.css-j9qmi7 .eagfbvw0{-webkit-align-items:center;-webkit-box-align:center;-ms-flex-align:center;align-items:center;color:#27292D;}
