    Advance Praise

    "Powers’ book is the closest thing out there to a junior military leader manual – one that arms the reader with step-by-step practices and techniques to lead with empathy, integrity, and ingenuity. He humbly, adeptly and painstakingly provides the background, data, and tools young leaders need to succeed in the 21st Century, and it is a handy reference guide for front- line military managers of all ranks to revisit any time they are preparing to lead service members."

    Retired Col, USMC

    about ME

    I’m a husband, father, and Marine officer. For 14 years I have led Marines, mentored NROTC midshipmen, and taught leadership at Brown and Cornell.

    In 2024 and 2025 I poured those lessons into my first book, a guide for new and aspiring Marine officers.

    That book will be on shelves in fall 2026. This newsletter is where the road to publication unfolds in real time. It’s your front-row seat to see how I wrote it, meet the people who helped me along the way, and get an early look at what I included in the book—and the lessons I learned too late to add.
    If you care about leadership, growth, and becoming better every day, come on this journey with me.
