On April 11th at the Olive Theater on Fort Knox, Dolores Kuchina-Musina, Raj Sharma, and I facilitated a discussion at the 2024 U.S. Army Human Resources Command (HRC) and U.S. Army Recruiting Command (USAREC) Conversation with Industry (CWI) at the request of our friend Mike Carroll of HRC. The topic of our discussion at HRC CWI was Using Small Business to Drive Innovation, and we did a warm-up on the Getting FED podcast prior to the event. Here is the full discussion we had ahead of the 2024 Conversation with Industry. Let us know what you think!
