💡 Episode Focus: Service, Storytelling & Leadership Beyond the Uniform
From the war zones of Afghanistan to the storytelling frontlines of advocacy and authorship, CDR James Seddon, U.S. Navy (Ret.), has lived the Navy’s 11 Leadership Principles — and continues to teach them through action, empathy, and purpose.
In this episode, we explore how leaders can:✨ Lead with integrity when the stakes are highest.✨ Transform service into storytelling that heals and unites.✨ Build trust in teams — even when trust is tested.✨ Continue serving long after the uniform comes off.
A career naval officer turned author and humanitarian, CDR Seddon reminds us that leadership isn’t about titles — it’s about impact. His work with #AfghanEvac and his writing for outlets like the LA Times and San Diego Union-Tribune show what “service after service” truly means.
