***Show note: Audio issues clear up within the first 4 minutes***

THE Wartime Leadership Podcast: The Resiliency of Joe Bogdan is now available! Joe is the Senior Enlisted Leader for the 51st Civil Engineer Squadron. He is responsible for advising the commander on matters affecting combat ready Airmen. Joe is the cofounder of the Llama Leadership website (www.llamaleadership.com) and host of the Llama Lounge podcast (www.llamaleadership.com/podcast). If this isn’t enough, he is an Adjunct Professor with Brandman University and a highly sought-after speaker and instructor.

During this episode, Joe takes us through his definition of Spiritual Resilience and how it manifests in his everyday personal and professional life while holding true to his personal philosophy that he is not entitled to anything, some things he has to earn for himself. "Everybody's war looks different, every struggle looks different, but also every white picket fence looks different. So it's important for us to identify how we define success and identify the stresses we are going through." Having come to the U.S. as an immigrant and looking different then those that were around him, he walks us through how he learned English from Mr. Rogers to his success within the Civil Engineering career field. Joe walks through how stepping out of his career field made him a better person in dealing with his personal struggles.
