On the Road: Connecting Veterans, Capital, and American Innovation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For the past few weeks, my life has resembled George Clooney’s character in Up in the Air — the 2009 film where he’s living out of airports, speaking at a different conference every day. Genine Fallon was there too every step of the way (You can subscribe to her new substack here.)Much of our trip centered on ‘veterpreneurship’ — helping more veterans become founders, owners, investors, and business leaders.Our first stop was Jackson Hole for the Wyoming Global

Mr Kramer obtained a semi-automatic weapon in a Walmart parking lot from another individ
Cheap Globalization Is Over (opens the original)

For most of the past generation, American business leaders and investors were rewarded for thinking about globalization primarily through the lens of efficiency. Goods moved easily across borders, capital followed opportunity, and supply chains stretched across oceans with remarkably little friction.
