About this listen
What if America's defense acquisition system isn't broken—just Roman? In this firecracker episode of Pulse Wave, we break down how hyper-bureaucracy, compliance theater, and box-check culture are slowly rotting out the core of national security. Featuring the explosive John Ferry (yes, that LinkedIn post), infrastructure tactician Rob Murtha, and recruiting sniper Tommy Weinert.
We talk toxic government-industry "relationships," sole-source CSOs, why CMMC might nuke SMEs, and the true cost of performative compliance. Also: should we be productizing services like we productize software?
🔧 Topics include:
The toxic GovCon partnership analogy
Is CMMC Level 2 the final nail for SMEs?
Why OTAs & CSOs are the new power lanes
Productized services: fad or future?
Why Rome fell — and why we might too
