JoAnne S. Bass

We have an amazing board highlighted by, we have two two-star major generals on our board, one three-star lieutenant general, an international business owner, a gentleman with a significant experience in real estate and finance.

Joanne Bass, who's the 19th

chief master sergeant of the Air Force, is our national strategic advisor.

One of the most highly sought after speakers in the nation.

I'm grateful for what you're doing, man.

I'm grateful for the partners.

I did not know Joanne Bass was involved.

I saw her in D.C. back in March.

So, you know, met Goldfein several times, met Walsh several times.

Joanne Bass, that kind of stuff.

But you can go your entire career without ever meeting any of these people.

So they're all lined up, like in a line.

And for me, it's, you know, the service part was actually an opportunity when I first came into the Air Force.

And I had someone that worked for me, Joanne Bass.

She was the chief master in the Air Force.

And she talked about sometimes you're in the Air Force before the Air Force is in you.

But I do see that with time, things are starting to happen.

And I mentioned the aspect of a slogan.

So when we first did Accelerate Change or Lose, someone, actually we did as well, made it an acronym, ACOL.

And one of the defense reporters actually on what used to be called, well, it was Twitter at the time, said, well, here they go again with another acronym.
