00:00.219 --> 00:02.670
People are truly interested in hearing

00:03.019 --> 00:05.241
what folks at any level , especially at

00:05.241 --> 00:07.408
the tactical level , are , are working

00:07.408 --> 00:09.640
through the solutions that they're

00:09.750 --> 00:11.694
either coming up with or they have

00:11.694 --> 00:13.750
ideas for . And they just don't have

00:13.750 --> 00:15.960
the way to actually employ those ideas

00:15.970 --> 00:18.659
that every single one of us is working

00:18.670 --> 00:20.837
on problems that might have a solution

00:20.837 --> 00:23.003
that we know better than anyone else .

00:23.003 --> 00:25.059
And it's a forum like this , it's an

00:25.059 --> 00:27.281
opportunity like this that gets that uh

00:27.281 --> 00:29.337
ground that the ground forces or the

00:29.337 --> 00:31.819
the grass roots uh service member up to

00:31.829 --> 00:33.885
the highest levels of command to get

00:33.885 --> 00:35.885
that cut that red tape and get that

00:35.885 --> 00:38.051
information up to where it needs to be

00:38.051 --> 00:40.218
so that we can get after some of these

00:40.218 --> 00:42.329
problems in all our services and what

00:42.329 --> 00:44.662
they really need sometimes is the tools ,

00:44.662 --> 00:46.940
the resources or a platform or a voice ,

00:46.940 --> 00:50.169
whatever it might be . Um But it was

00:50.180 --> 00:52.402
really exciting uh great opportunity to

00:52.402 --> 00:56.169
go chat with some folks pitch our ideas

00:56.180 --> 00:58.729
as well as get some uh good questions

00:58.740 --> 01:02.020
from like an industry leader . A lot of

01:02.029 --> 01:04.196
times if you present something to your

01:04.196 --> 01:06.251
leadership , it comes across as just

01:06.251 --> 01:08.418
presenting a problem . But if you take

01:08.418 --> 01:10.585
time to fully understand the problem ,

01:10.585 --> 01:12.529
come up with a solution and you're

01:12.529 --> 01:14.529
willing to advocate for that idea ,

01:14.529 --> 01:16.473
whether it's a product or a policy

01:16.473 --> 01:18.696
change , I've never met a leader that's

01:18.696 --> 01:20.807
not willing to embrace change for the

01:20.807 --> 01:22.807
sake of improvement . So if you are

01:22.807 --> 01:24.807
willing to take the time to develop

01:24.807 --> 01:27.129
that solution and advocate guaranteed ,

01:27.139 --> 01:29.306
any good leader is going to grab on to

01:29.306 --> 01:31.306
it . They're going to listen , they

01:31.306 --> 01:33.472
won't elevate it and it doesn't matter

01:33.472 --> 01:33.190
what rank you are , it doesn't matter

01:33.300 --> 01:35.411
your experience level and your career

01:35.411 --> 01:37.633
field . If you know what you're talking

01:37.633 --> 01:37.199
about , you're willing to put forth the

01:37.209 --> 01:39.209
effort , you can take that solution

01:39.209 --> 01:39.919
anywhere you need to .
