2nd Lt Andrew Cormier '25 - 8 Lessons I've Learned Over the Past 99 Conversations, Final Episode | Perspective Ep 42

Host of FTZ Andrew Cormier winds down the show with a 100 episode recap. He goes into how the show started and how it evolved into what it is today, then candidly covers 8 themes that emerged throughout the past 99 episodes that he learned over the past 3 years. The themes are listed below:

• The worst career decisions are made with half the information

• A perfect record isn’t always a sign of great leadership. Sometimes, it’s a sign no one ever pushed back

• Every rule was written for a reason—the question is whether that reason still matters

• There are so many ways to contribute to national security, many of them are out of uniform

• You don’t need to launch a startup to think like an entrepreneur. Intrapreneurship is about building where you are

• It’s hard to judge your house until you’ve lived in someone else’s

• Finances aren’t just numbers—they’re narratives

• The goal isn’t to fly forever—it’s to make sure others can

Thanks again for all of the support over the years, this has been such a fun project to work on!
