He Led Air Force Academy Cadets Then Trained Marines: Mac Caldwell on Leadership & Dealing w/Change

Mac Caldwell, United States Air Force Academy graduate and Veteran Marine Corps Officer, dives into what it really takes to navigate life’s big transitions.

You’ll hear Mac share a story from Marine Corps training that nearly turned deadly—and how that moment reshaped his understanding of leadership, risk, and grace.

Mac opens up about:
The pressure of leading 4,000 cadets at the Air Force Academy

You’ll walk away with:
A framework for facing transitions without fear
Tools for building real support
A renewed vision of what purpose can look like
