In this episode of Think Like a Leader, Dorian Albritton sits down with Vic Martinez, a retired Command Sergeant Major with 28 years of service in the U.S. Army — including combat tours in Iraq.

Now through Elite Life Coaching, LLC and Martinez Motivation, Vic helps professionals overcome self-doubt, build resilience, and lead with authenticity.

From losing 25 soldiers in combat to guiding executives through personal battles, Vic’s story is a masterclass in courage, preparation, and purpose.

💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why the best leaders are made, not born
• The mindset that turns adversity into advantage
• How to find mentors who accelerate your growth
• The “Always Ready” principle for self-leadership
• Why systems and structure free you, not confine you

For leaders navigating pressure, purpose, and personal growth — this episode is a reminder that resilience is built in the valleys, not the peaks.
