Mike Erwin graduated from West Point in 2002 and went on to serve on active duty for 13 years, including three deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan in the First Cavalry Division and 3rd Special Forces Group. This week on Next Steps Forward, Mr. Erwin joins program host Chris Meek to discuss what his time in the military taught him about leadership and the importance of giving back to those fellow Americans who serve our country. Mr. Erwin will discuss his work through the veteran-focused non-profit organization he founded in 2010, Team Red, White & Blue (Team RWB) and the work the organization carries out to enrich the lives of America’s service members. Additionally, he will discuss the Positivity Project, a non profit organization he co-founded with the mission to empower America’s youth to build positive relationships. Mr. Erwin has consistently demonstrated a commitment to actively using the skills he developed in the military to pursue life changing projects in the civilian sector to better the lives of countless American veterans and children. Beyond his work with veterans and youth, he is the co-author of “Lead Yourself First.” Throughout the interview he will focus on the principles of the book, including how solitude strengthens people’s character and their ability to lead with clarity, balance and conviction.
