What can today's executives learn from elite military leadership?

In this episode of Boardsi Leadership Talks, Martin Rowinski sits down with Jake Williams and Robin Miller, Co-Founders of Fortified Risk Group and former members of Naval Special Warfare, to discuss how the leadership principles forged in the military translate into business, entrepreneurship, cybersecurity, and executive leadership. 

Drawing on years of experience in high-pressure environments, Jake and Robin explain why trust, communication, preparation, and continuous learning are the foundation of successful organizations. They also share how leaders can better protect their companies by viewing security as a leadership responsibility rather than simply an IT function. 

In this episode:

✔️ Leadership lessons from Navy SEAL training

✔️ Why servant leadership builds stronger organizations

✔️ The importance of after-action reviews in business

✔️ How elite teams make decisions under pressure

✔️ Building trust through actions, not words

✔️ Why security is every leader's responsibility

✔️ Cybersecurity and physical security from the boardroom perspective

✔️ Creating a culture of honest communication

✔️ The OODA Loop and decision-making in business

✔️ Leadership lessons from military service to entrepreneurship

Whether you're a CEO, founder, executive, board member, entrepreneur, or aspiring leader, this conversation offers practical insights into building resilient teams and leading with confidence under pressure.
