What does it mean to lead with honor after 30 years in the Marine Corps?

In this episode of Veteran Led, guest host Trevor Nealy interviews MGySgt Martin Duarte, USMC (Ret.), about the timeless leadership principles he carried from the Corps into civilian life. Now serving as Outreach Coordinator at Wounded Warriors Family Support (WWFS.org), Duarte shares candid lessons on discipline, integrity, and accountability—plus the life-changing impact of programs like Mobility is Freedom and the Veterans Welding Program.

Together, they explore how Veterans can apply military values to business, community, and family—and why leading with honor never ends when the uniform comes off.

Key takeaways:

  • How the Marine Corps instills discipline that lasts a lifetime
  • Why integrity is the foundation of leadership on and off duty
  • Lessons every business leader can learn from military service
  • The role of accountability in building high-performing teams
  • How Veterans can lead with honor in civilian life
  • The impact of Wounded Warriors Family Support programs

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
