  • Is the 4th of July Just a Holiday—Or a Call to Lead?

    Is the 4th of July Just a Holiday—Or a Call to Lead?
    2025/07/02

    In this 4th of July special edition of Leadership Blueprints, BJ Kraemer sits down with Marine Corps veteran, educator, and operations leader Fred Conner for a conversation about legacy, leadership, and renewal. This episode explores the transformation of the historic 75-acre Valley Forge campus- home to Founding Forward, a national civic education nonprofit founded by the Union League of Philadelphia and Freedom’s Foundation.

    Fred shares his journey from military service to international project management to teaching at Temple University. Along the way, he reveals how landscapes, memory, and mission-based leadership shape how we build -and remember- our most important places.

    Whether you're a veteran transitioning into the A/E/C world, a project leader tackling deferred maintenance, or a parent wondering what civic education looks like today, this episode offers a reminder: leadership starts with service, and the built environment can inspire generations.

    Key Points From This Episode:

    • Why project management is a natural fit for transitioning veterans.
    • Lessons from building military camps in Kosovo and Afghanistan.
    • The power of servant leadership- sometimes that means doing dishes and landscaping.
    • Why trust and execution are foundational to any successful project.

    Quotes:

    “Vision is a really good thing, but it’s only aspiration if you can’t execute.” - Fred Conner
    “Operations occur at the speed of trust.” — Gen. Jim Mattis (quoted by Fred Conner)
    “The things we remember most about a place are often how the built environment coexists with the landscape around it.” — Fred Conner
