## Resource

In this episode of The Naval Aviation Ready Room Podcast, host Ryan Keys sits down with Ryan Hogan, a Navy Reserve officer and serial entrepreneur whose journey is a masterclass in resilience. Hogan candidly details his "intentional lack of intentionality," from nearly failing high school to facing Captain's Mast early in his career, only to pivot and become a highly successful startup founder. He shares how the Navy provided the discipline needed to build companies like Hunt A Killer and Talent Harbor, all while continuing to lead sailors in the maritime security realm.
