We had a great run of DisruptED guests in 2023! Most favorite and frequent feedback: “You have some really interesting and amazing people on DisruptED. I listened to the education series and then to someone in manufacturing and found it similarly engaging!” Our mantra remains to: Bring you the Disruptors in this 5G-Wired-Workforce-Augmented-Technology-Interconnected-Globally-Interdependent-AI-Accelerated-Pandemic-Interrupted world of learning and work— those seemingly ordinary humans whose work and impact is, in fact, extraordinary. Talent remains top of the page across every industry. No surprise, it’s a strategic imperative for our U.S. Armed Forces. Listen to our first episode for 2024 with Major General Johnny Davis, head of the US Army Recruiting command. In this episode he talks about: 🧩 The extraordinary education and benefits career-long in the Armed Forces. 🧩The recruiting strategy of “Quality over Quantity” 🧩Future Soldiers Program, and its success in preparing enlistees for work and career readiness Thank you Major General for kicking off an epic new season.
