#487 Tony Thomas on Defense, Technology, and Leadership

Tony Thomas is a retired 4-star General and was the 11th Commander of U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). General Thomas is one of our nation's greatest warfighters and he also happens to be an even better human being.  In this conversation, we discuss the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the modern battlefield, the greatest threats to the United States, Tony’s leadership lessons, and the intersection of defense and technology, including drones, machine learning, artificial intelligence, computer vision, and the newly formed Space Force.  ======================= Choice is a new self-directed IRA product that I'm really excited about. If you are listening to this, you are likely part of the 7.1 million bitcoin owners who have retirement accounts with dollars in them, but not bitcoin. I was in that situation too.

Absolute game changer. https://www.retirewithchoice.com/pomp ======================= The Rodman Law Group is dedicated to helping entrepreneurs realize their vision by helping them operate defensibly in sectors where laws and regulations haven’t caught up to the realities of the industry.
