In this episode, the TA3 leadership team is joined by acclaimed motivational speaker, coach, author, and Vietnam War POW Dave Carey. A graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Dave became a carrier-based pilot during the Vietnam War. After his plane was shot down, he was interred as a POW in Hanoi for five and a half years. After returning from Vietnam, he held three positions as a commanding officer, including service as Director of the Navy’s Leadership and Management Training program. He retired from the Navy with the rank of Captain. Drawing from his experiences as a POW for five and a half years he reminds his audiences of the power of the human spirit to triumph over adversity; – and that we always have choices.” https://www.davecarey.com/ https://mission22.com/
