Sean Supon comes to us from Austin, TX, where he currently serves as CEO and co-founder of Iron Neck. Originally from Kauai, HI, he compares the shift from island life to the regimented Hudson River confines. He shares origins of the “IV Musketeers” from his Howitzer entry, then reveals his initial career aspirations of becoming an Army diver. After discussing Sean’s time on active duty, he reflects on his transition and the lessons learned. He discovered a passion for working out, getting into jujitsu in recent years, which turned into eventually creating a neck strengthening equipment company. Sean answers the previous question on how he’s redefined leadership in this current season of life, before asking others if they want their children to go to West Point.

Lindsay Hartig joins us from Fort Dix, NJ, where she serves as a supervisor for the Philadelphia Eagles. Originally from Orlando, she reflects on meeting her husband/fellow classmate and shares fond memories from her sports team and company days at West Point. Lindsay discusses how a service-minded upbringing and early exposure to the Academy shaped her path, carrying through her transition out of the Army and into roles with Team RWB among others. She also opens up about a personal loss that shaped her empathetic leadership style. Adaptability remains a defining theme in her life and career to this point, which includes a recent selection as the Eagles’ Salute to Service 2025 nominee. Lindsay responds to the previous question of what she would have done had she not gone to the Academy, before asking others how have they redefined leadership in this current season of life.
