They set out Steve's journey from the Army to business success in the tech world, to now running an outfit all about investing in smart Australian companies making the best defence tech on the planet - for everyone but Australia....Changing that could be as simple - but big - as adopting the Ukrainian military's almost gamified 'Brave1' model - a market-based program that has soldiers using an online shop and tokens earned by destroying particular Russian systems. Delegation, empowerment and speed brings results. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-grumpy-strategists-6607649/episodes/grumpy-strategist-makers-series-with-beaten-zone-s-steve-baxter/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-grumpy-strategists-6607649/grumpy-strategist-makers-series-with-beaten-zone-s-steve-baxter.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
