Leadership is not just for Marines
My Marine son-in-law and I were looking for road-trip entertainment. Moments in Leadership was suggested for us I am glad we started listening. I heard some great insights into leadership that applies not only to the military but also to the civilian world.
After our trip, I was intrigued enough to start from the beginning. I highly recommend giving this a listen.

Candid & Authentic: Distilled Leadership lessons Multiple generations
One of my favorite podcasts. Dave has a unique way of getting the stories we’ll learn the most from. Almost like sitting around BSing but way more productive! Between the Hotwash, Andy Milburn and Gen Alford it’s hard to say what my favorite episode is but that just means we’ll have to figure it out for ourselves. Would love to see some more Sr enlisted on the show but that just means I’ll have to make some recommendations!! Great work and a must listen for any serious leader. Semper Fidelis Teufelhunden !!

An Incredible Tool
This podcast is an incredible tool for all ranks and all branches to utilize. The podcast bridges the divide between senior enlisted/senior officers and lower enlisted/junior officers by showing the personal side of some the senior leaders across the force. The type of thing I wish I had when I was in.

Intersting discussions and actionable insights
Great discussions and great lessons from some fantastic senior leaders and those on the front lines. I think this series helps any leader with actionable takeaways on how to get 1% better every day. Wish more active duty commands (E9s, and O5/O6s) would employ these types of dynamic discussions in units, and most importantly utilize the lessons.
Would be great to hear from some Salty Senior Lance Corporals in infantry battalions...

Aggravates me in a good way
Every episode has some kind of lesson that I wish I had known even as an E6 in a non-combat MOS. The caliber of commanders and senior leaders that he scores for interviews is truly impressive.

Iron Sharpens Iron
“Moments in Leadership” is the highest-quality, long-form dialogue with influential military leaders. The Host extracts tremendous lessons learned from Guests, then translates them for the Listener - no matter rank, service, or occupation - to action, in their own career (and life). This Podcast is a modern approach and effective tool that should be shared widely by those of us serving in the ranks today. Semper Fidelis.

Outstanding Leadership Podcast
A truly outstanding military leadership podcast. Having listened to every episode, each one has worthwhile insight from some of the top leaders in the DOD. Should be required PME to listen to as hundreds of real world examples of leadership can be heard from top Officers and Enlisted members of the military on as guests. Young Lieutenants and Corporals all the way up to Colonels and Generals will be able to take something away from this podcast and action on to improve their leadership skills in their day to day life.

A Call to Action
I have found that if you ask junior leaders and junior Marines what they want, what motivates and inspires them, and where they think the institution’s priorities should be, you get insight to the culture on the ground and you can see that, by and large, they’re frustrated that it’s not being upheld. Then Dave interviews senior leaders—2 and 3-star officers, sergeants major, first sergeants—and you realize that these leaders also have this same cultural mindset. So where is the disconnect? How is it that the commander’s intent isn’t being met if these two groups are aligned? I think the answer is “mid-level management.” Mid-level staff officers and SNCOs are often the ones driving events (or not driving them) and we need to ask why. MIL offers great stories and insight, but it really should drive meaningful conversations about internal recruiting of key billets and be a call to action to hold the mid-level staff of the institution accountable for failing the expectations of its most junior and senior Marines and sailors.

A must listen for any aspiring small unit leader
I'm a Sergeant in the Marine Corps, and I feel like every time I listen to this podcast I get another peek behind the elusive curtains that hide most of the thought processes of those in the highest positions. As someone who was a Lance Corporal in 2nd MarDiv when the BDR dropped, I had no idea what was happening, but being able to hear what was going through the head of the commander really made me think about why it happened. This podcast is very valuable for anyone, whether as a civilian, or a military member doing 4-40 years.

Moments in Leadership
I am a retired Marine. I wish I had access to these kinds of leadership lessons when I was a young leader. Anyone listening to this podcast will come away with outstanding leadership Insights to use in their careers.

Excellent source for leadership and life lessons in the profession of arms
As a fresh commissionee in the Corps, I constantly wait for new episodes featuring members from all across the force on how to embody leadership in a constantly evolving environment. Each perspective offers a different lens on how to lead young Marines (or other service members) and be led yourself. In my experience, MIL is far and away one of the best podcasts out there for leaders striving to improve their craft.

Great Podcast for leadership lessons
Great discussions for young leaders to listen to and ponder. Please keep this going. Can't wait for more content. Recommend an episode regarding leadership with Scott Huesing, writer of Echo in Ramadi.

Where was this 20 years ago?
Invaluable. Should be mandatory listening for all ranks. Focus listening at the schoolhouses and have a PODclub like a book club at each unit. Armstrong is killing it in the arena.

Every Leader Must Subscribe
Insightful, witty, thought provoking and relevant.
It has had a profound impact on my approach to operational planning, leadership and teaching the Marines in my unit.
Please continue getting incredible servant leaders and accomplished veterans, because it is having an indelible, positive impact on our Corps. (Recommend LtCol Scott Cuomo for the next one; maybe I’m biased because I was on his staff)
Sir, you are doing the Lord’s work.
Bravo Zulu.

Thoughtful, Smart, Fantastic
Everyone interested in leadership, regardless of whether they’ve been in the military or not, should listen to this. I’ve listened to every episode. Dave Armstrong is a fantastic interviewer. He relies on his own vast experience to ask thoughtful and thought-provoking questions of successful military leaders, all of whom display their depth as human beings and genuine concern for those they’ve led. The best of military leadership have lessons for all aspects of life.

Leadership Handbook
This podcast is a remarkable guide and tool for leaders of any experience level. The vast experiences and stories shared from senior leaders with Mr. Armstrong are nothing short of incredible. This podcast allows young leaders of both military and civilian organizations to learn from the mistakes of successful people who have used those mistakes to better themselves and those around them. A must listen for anyone at any level of leadership.
