Borne The Battle #158: David Gowel – Army Veteran, RallyPoint CEO

SSgt Tanner Iskra — Fri, 16 Aug 2019 09:41:42 -0400

This week’s Borne the Battle interview is with Army Iraq War Veteran, David Gowel, a West Point and Ranger School graduate who later became an assistant professor at MIT’s ROTC program. David is currently the CEO of RallyPoint, a military-themed social media network. Which begs the question: just how does a former armor platoon leader become the CEO for a social media company? And, with a crowded social landscape that includes Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, SnapChat and others, why would anyone join yet another social media network?

This week’s guest lays out his case. In the interview, he also shares tips and pointers for expanding your own social media network.

This was a great episode. I am a seller. I have been working on "social selling" for years. I am currently working in my first "start up"; working with reps who are at least one generation younger than me; and they are green. It was great to listen to this podcast as it helped me remember some of the tips we used back in the day to start our networks.

Thanks for always putting out great content SSgt Tanner Iskra

I’ve seen these comeons for podcasts before. They seem interesting. What are podcasts? How does it work? Do I need an app? Is it video or text? If video does it have closed captions?
