13: The Quiet Strength of an Army Ranger
In this special Veterans Day episode, Amy Suiter shares the story of her father, an Army Ranger during the Vietnam War, whose values of loyalty, integrity, courage, and quiet strength shaped not only his family but every life he touched.
This episode is more than a tribute. It’s a reflection on how the lessons passed down from those who serve become the foundation for how we live, coach, parent, and lead.
Through her father’s example, Amy reminds us that the most powerful leadership doesn’t always shout. Sometimes it’s the steady, consistent kind that makes others feel safe, inspired, and seen.
