S5:E199🎙️LIVE ⚓🇺🇸 AMERICA 250 | The Foundational “Triumvirate” of the U.S. Navy: Leadership Lessons from Three Fathers of the American Navy
🇺🇸 WHO IS THE FATHER OF THE AMERICAN NAVY?
Was it Commodore John Barry, the Navy’s first commissioned Captain?
Was it Captain John Paul Jones, whose extraordinary courage and fighting spirit helped establish America's naval traditions?
Or was it President John Adams, whose strategic vision and advocacy helped establish the permanent U.S. Navy?
What if the answer is not ONE, but ALL THREE?
⚓ Join me for Season 5, Episode 199 of the Leadership & Success Podcast with Coach BZ, as we explore the remarkable lives and enduring legacies of three foundational figures in American naval history.
This episode is inspired by my #LEAD article:
📖 AMERICA 250 | The Foundational “Triumvirate” of the U.S. Navy: Leadership Lessons from Three Fathers of the American Navy
📅 Tuesday, October 13, 2026
⏰ 3:00 PM PT (San Francisco) | 6:00 PM ET (Washington, D.C.)
📍 LIVE on LinkedIn → RSVP & Join the Discussion!
💡 WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:
⚓ 1. BUILD THE INSTITUTION — Commodore John Barry. Why developing people, establishing standards, and creating enduring institutions matter more than individual recognition.
⚔️ 2. CULTIVATE THE FIGHTING SPIRIT — John Paul Jones. How courage, resilience, initiative, and disciplined action enable leaders to overcome adversity.
🏛️ 3. BUILD WHAT THE MISSION REQUIRES — President John Adams. Why strategic vision must be translated into governance, resources, infrastructure, and sustainable capabilities.
🇺🇸 4. COMMISSION NO. 1 — George Washington's Leadership Expectations. Discover the four qualities America's first Commander in Chief emphasized when commissioning Barry: Patriotism. Valor. Fidelity. Ability.
🤝 5. TWO FATHERS, ONE MISSION. Explore the fascinating 1783 letter in which Jones introduced Barry—and the extraordinary story of Jones's ceremonial sword eventually passing to Barry.
🦅 6. THE EAGLE'S NEST. Why Barry and Jones, both Continental Navy Captains, remind today's senior officers that you do not need an admiral's star to leave an extraordinary legacy!
✝️ 7. LEADERSHIP & SCRIPTURE. Explore three biblical principles: accomplish the mission (1 Corinthians 3:6–9), care for your people (Galatians 6:2), and count the cost (Luke 14:28–32).
🎯 THE BIG QUESTION:
