CRIC Podcast

Managing CNO's maniacs is not an easy job, but somebody has to do it. Join CDR Ben Salazar and me as we talk about some of the back room difficulties and successes of the CRIC, what NWDC actually stands for, and what to expect for the next round of CRIC accessions.

I take a minute to answer listener questions-thank you for your help in making this episode possible! Join the CRICx on Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/thecricx

What's the difference between the Army's approach to using unmanned aircraft vs the Air Force's? Why does it matter? Join robotics expert Paul Scharre and me as we discuss these issues and why it is going to take a major change in mindset to get the most use of our drones.

At the center of the Naval Warfare Development Command and its innovation mission is a connector who seems to know everyone in the innovation world. My guest today is Lyndsay Westby-Gibson, who has helped connect me with innovators and great guests in the past. We talk about what's going on over on the East Coast, and why MCPON is visiting NWDC later this month (we like to think it's because he loves the podcast).

Today's episode waxes philosophical as returning guest LT Knudson and I discuss innovation in a bureaucracy and how to change the way we think about the Navy. Ask the tough questions. Don't be afraid to fail. Make a difference.
