We discuss how 9/11 rewired his approach to leadership and personal responsibility just three months into his naval intelligence career, what it was like managing dual Pentagon roles during a presidential transition, and the moment he found out about his promotion while sick in bed. Vic offers hard-earned lessons on self-care, delegation, staying in your lane, and why showing up every day with energy and a willingness to contribute is the real recipe for advancement. He closes with a powerful message: take the oath seriously, don't be afraid to make that first step, and find a way to contribute no matter what your job is. As always, thank you to the supporters on Supercast who help keep Moments in Leadership ad-free and sustainable. GUEST BIO LINKSVic Minella on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/vic-minella/ FOLLOW, SUBSCRIBE, AND SUPPORTJoin the Moments in Leadership Supercast communityhttps://mil.supercast.com/ Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/moments-in-leadership/id1547856712 Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/1hQl53NzCiJwlWS9xQZFw9 YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@MomentsinLeadership Official Websitehttps://www.momentsinleadership.com ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/Q1gpXO_hD9CD7EBLp7pcFKobeDyBV9NAxJu90SkV1gk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzE3MzAzLzE2NTYz/NjA5NDItYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
