    Leading, Purpose, Academe, EDM with MG Matt Smith (Ret)
    Apr 15 2026
    Two-star general turned graduate program architect, Major General Matt Smith (Ret), joins to talk about what happens when a call to serve never expires... it just changes uniforms. In this conversation, we'll go beyond the "stars" and into the story of a leader who served more than 32 years in the military. We'll explore what drove him to join, his time in investment banking, and why his greatest deployment might be building a first-of-its-kind business program that gives veterans something no one ever handed them: a bridge between the life they served and the life they've earned. If you've ever felt like your greatest experience gets lost in translation, if you believe that purpose doesn't retire when you do… this 15 minutes is for you.
