    Today’s guest is Joe Byerly. He’s a rising voice in leadership and the founder of: “From the Green Notebook” — a podcast and blog that’s been inspiring leaders inside and outside the military for over a decade.

    Joe spent 20+ years in the U.S. Army, earning prestigious honors like: the Legion of Merit, multiple Bronze Stars, a Purple Heart and the General Douglas MacArthur Leadership Award… all while leading teams in high-stakes environments.

    But what sets Joe apart is his philosophy: leadership isn’t about grinding harder or always pushing to extremes.

    Instead, Joe believes in AND teaches self-awareness, daily habits, and lifelong learning as the keys to real… sustainable growth.

    In 2013, Joe started the “From the Green Notebook” as a blog about military-oriented leadership lessons… and he certainly wasn’t trying to be an “influencer.” He started it because he saw a need.

    Well… it quickly became popular inside and outside military… attracting over two million visitors. Then… in 2020, Joe launched the “From the Green Notebook” podcast and it’s now in the top 1% of all podcasts.

    Joe interviews top military and world leaders, bestselling authors, Super Bowl-winning athletes, and Grammy-nominated recording artists. You’ll want to check it out!

    Whether you're a seasoned leader or just getting started, Joe’s down-to-earth, actionable approach will inspire you to lead with empathy, resilience, and intention. Let’s dive in!
