About this listen

When was the last time someone you trusted let you down?

Every leader faces betrayal—by a colleague, partner, or even a friend. The test isn't what happens. It's how you respond. In this episode of Veteran Led, John S. Berry shares how he handled leadership betrayal in both military and business settings.

Drawing from stories in combat and the courtroom, John explores what to do after trust is broken—how to lead through loss, protect your mindset, and get your mission back on track.

This episode is for Veterans, entrepreneurs, and anyone who's ever had to lead after being blindsided.

Key takeaways:

  • Why betrayal is part of leadership
  • When to forgive—and when to walk away
  • How to protect your team, mindset, and mission
  • Turning pain into purpose without revenge
  • Resilience strategies for high-stakes leadership
