Business Philosophy

A beast is someone who does the uncommon: they’ve kept the promises they make to themselves. When everyone around them is trying to make it easier, they make it harder. They’ve embraced independence, and have committed themselves to working towards their goals. Through their journey, they have been forced to persevere under pressure. Through that, they are humble enough to know they are beatable, but beast enough to know they are unkillable.

The philosophy found in this work is the product of a childhood on a tobacco and cattle farm in central Kentucky, education at various schools, and a three-decade career in the US Navy while simultaneously contributing as a husband, father, and grandfather. The remainder of this book will be separated into phases reflective of the major changes in my life: the farm, schooling, and a navy career continuum from junior officer through flag officer. The lessons learned in earlier phases were often exported and applied later.
