Bill Rausch - Executive Director of Got Your 6 - on Community, Veterans in the Civic Process, and Leadership









My name is Bill Rausch and I had the pleasure of talking with JJ Pinter from Team RWB on the #EagleNation podcast. We spoke about my experiences as former Army Officer, my time on the hill advocating for Veteran’s issues in DC and as a consultant. I am also a husband and father, a local volunteer leader for Team Red, White, and Blue – in addition to being the Executive Director for Got Your 6.

Got Your 6 is dedicated to empowering veterans to lead a resurgence of community across the nation while bridging the civilian-military divide. #OneTeamOneFight
JJ and I have a fun and wide-ranging conversation, covering:
● Leadership
● Community
● Growing up in the rural Midwest
● Veterans involved in the civic process
● And finally, Michigan-Ohio State Football (Go Buckeyes!)
JJ is a great American, and a good friend – I’m proud to share my story with him and the #EagleNation

As the new executive director of Got Your 6, I’ve found this to be especially true as we work to empower veterans to lead a resurgence of community across the nation.
