What does it take to turn a struggling organization into a high-performing team? For retired U.S. Army Brigadier General Mark Towne, the answer begins with trust.

From a difficult childhood and an unexpected journey into military service to a 34-year Army career, Mark's experiences shaped his understanding of what meaningful leadership requires.

When he inherited a battalion struggling with poor performance and a toxic leadership culture, Mark learned that operational improvements alone wouldn't solve the problem. By prioritizing trust, accountability and the development of his people, the organization climbed from last to first among eight battalions in just two years.

In this episode of Anything But Typical, Mark joins Gary and Ben to discuss the difference between management and leadership, the importance of putting values into action, building trust across different backgrounds and the principles behind his book, Build Trust First: Your Source Code for Leadership That Truly Matters.

A conversation for business owners and leaders who want to build stronger teams and make a lasting difference in the lives of the people they serve.
