Build Your A-Team

Channing Walker is the CEO of Longhorn Ventures Holdings and a former leader in the 1st Battalion 7th Special Forces Group. He shares his journey from the battlefield to the boardroom, including how he won an $11M government contract while still active duty. In this episode, conversations explore leadership under pressure, vulnerability as a strength, scaling businesses with the right talent —and the right culture — as mission critical. Channing opens up about his experiences, lessons learned, and the mindset that drives him — “Those who have the ability have the responsibility.” If you're a business owner, entrepreneur, or just someone building a high-performing team, this episode is packed with gold.
