He turned down the Naval Academy as a teenager, got cut from his high school varsity, and still found his way to become a Division I basketball player and 34-year career in the United States Army retiring as a Major General. That arc is why Cedric Wins’ klimb story is so impactful: it’s not a highlight reel, it’s a blueprint for resilience, leadership under pressure, and doing the right thing when it costs you.

We talk about how winning habits get built early, why the Virginia Military Institute “chose him” more than he chose it, and how service finally started to click for him once he realized the similarities between the military and organized sports. Cedric shares a mistake from his early officer days that would shape his leadership philosophy: mission success means nothing if you fail to support the people you're leading. If you manage a team, lead a classroom, or run a business, you’ll recognize that moment instantly.

We also discuss the lessons he learned in crisis leadership at VMI during COVID-19 and intense public scrutiny. The General breaks down what leaders actually do when an institution’s culture and reputation are on the line: assess the climate, clarify mission and values, rebuild trust, and listen better than you speak. We also get into his core non-negotiables: integrity, character, and the courage to choose “the hard right” over “the easy wrong.” You’ll leave with practical leadership lessons, a sharper sense of what grit really means, and a reminder that the extra mile stays uncrowded for a reason.
