Show Notes

In this episode, David Folwell, President of StaffingHub, and Caitlin Delohery, Editor-in-Chief, talk to Jake Wood. Jake Wood is the CEO of [Team Rubicon](https://teamrubiconusa.org/), a global nonprofit he co-founded in 2010. Team Rubicon serves communities by mobilizing veterans to continue their service, leveraging their skills and experience to help people prepare, respond, and recover from disasters and humanitarian crises. In this episode, we talk about Wood’s forthcoming book, Once a Warrior: [*How One Veteran Found a New Mission Closer to Home*](https://bookshop.org/books/once-a-warrior-how-one-veteran-found-a-new-mission-closer-to-home/9780593189351), which has already received wide acclaim. Simon Sinek said it “will inspire you to want to be a better human being.” Chris Sacca, investor, self-made billionaire, and frequent co-host of Shark Tank, said "Ever notice that the best business books aren't business books? This is one of those books.” [To support the work Team Rubicon does, click here](https://teamrubiconusa.org/give/).
