Guest Expert Chris Budihas joined the show just days into retirement from 36 years of military service as a former Marine and Army Colonel. We explored parallels between military and business strategy and emphasized the importance of understanding problems, setting long-term visions, and incorporating feedback loops.

Chris’s transition from military to business includes founding two businesses, hosting multiple TV shows and active community advocate and volunteer work..

He founded AdvantEdge Strategy & Solutions LLC, focused on consulting, leader and business development, and strategic planning, development & implementation, as well as Guardians Fortress, inspired in response to school shootings, a streamlined digital security inspection solution tailored for critical locations and vulnerable populations nationwide.
