About this listen
Host Jake Allen welcomes Mike Etorre, a retired Marine Corps infantry officer, former C-suite executive, and founder of Fidelis Leadership Group, to discuss lessons from high-stakes military service and corporate leadership. Mike reflects on Beirut in 1983, Iran-backed terrorism, and his support for President Trump’s strikes while noting risks of escalation and the fog of war. He contrasts Marine Corps accountability—leaders owning everything that happens or fails to happen—with inconsistent corporate enforcement that can erode trust, especially when top performers are treated differently. Mike also outlines trust-based leadership rooted in character and integrity, describes how pressure first degrades clarity and process, and warns against momentum killers like emotional outbursts and punishing initiative. He also shares his ongoing battle with Camp Lejeune-related bladder cancer and his commitment to transparency and resilience.
