Elite Leadership: Authentic, Relentless and Selfless Service To A Cause

In this episode of Elite Leadership: Authentic, Relentless, and Selfless Service to a Cause, Schuyler Williamson sits down with Colonel (retired) Craig Flowers—his former West Point baseball coach and author of A Colonel and A Cowboy: Strategies of the Elite. From the fields at West Point to military command, Craig shares how elite leaders are developed through discipline, humility, and service to a mission bigger than themselves. Together, they unpack why leadership isn’t about rank or ego, why elite leaders are always searching for a competitive edge, and why leading yourself daily is non-negotiable. In a time hungry for principled leadership, this conversation sets the standard for what it means to lead with confidence, character, and purpose.
