S4:E133🎙️LIVE with Professor Casey Lucius, PhD, US Navy (Vet)
Leadership & Success Podcast with Coach BZ — Season 4 | Episode 133
“If you want to be extraordinary, be willing to do what no one else wants to do.”
“Strategy without execution is just theory. Execution without strategy is just motion.”
“In national security, the cost of poor decision-making is measured in lives, not headlines.”
“Local government is the front line of democracy.”
“Leadership is stewardship. You borrow authority—you don’t own it.”

Mark your calendars for a special full-circle leadership conversation with Professor Casey Lucius — scholar-practitioner, public servant, and one of the most impactful educators I’ve had the privilege to learn from.

📌 Personal note: Dr. Lucius was my professor for Joint Professional Military Operations: Theater Security Decision Making (TSDM) at the Naval War College hosted at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, CA back in 2011. More than a decade later, her lessons on decision-making, strategy, and servant leadership are more relevant than ever.
