Description

In this episode of Veteran Ventures, we sit down with LTG (Ret) Michael Ferriter — a career Army leader whose service spanned 35 years, from mechanized infantry platoon leader to commanding the U.S. Army’s Advising and Training Mission in Iraq.

Michael’s journey is filled with lessons in integrity, resilience, and leadership — from being the only Captain to graduate in his Ranger School class, to pioneering Army combatives and becoming the only father-son duo to ever command the same Ranger Regiment Company.

We talk about:

- Why your faith, family, friends, and integrity should remain intact at all costs

- “Hands-on inspired leadership” and his command philosophy: Do your best, do what’s right, improve daily, build teams, show you care, and never quit

- How to recognize when someone’s asking you to compromise your values — and what to do about it

- Building and maintaining teams in uniform and beyond

- His work with the National Veterans Memorial and Museum, The Ferriter Group, and veteran mental health initiatives
