17Twenty
What started as a crazy idea turned into an industry movement which afforded us the opportunity to sit down with and learn from some incredible people. Our guests were generous with their time and their stories, and those conversations forever shaped how we think about faith, family, work, and leadership more than we could have ever expected. Suffice it to say, 17Twenty meant a lot to us over the years.
However, as time went on, life filled up. Families got busier. Kids got older. Commitments multiplied. We started businesses, which has been challenging (and a lot of fun). As a result, schedules became harder to align and it became clear that we could not keep giving this wonderful little space we carved out on the internet the time and attention it deserved.
Thank you for listening, for sharing episodes, for encouraging us, and for being part of this along the way. We are grateful for this season of life and for everyone who was part of it. And to our faithful listeners ... keep moving mountains!

E091 || Chris Cassidy || Influences on Trajectory
This week Kevin and Stewart have the absolute honor of sitting down with Chris Cassidy, a recent retiree from the Navy following 28 years of service.
After graduating from the U.S. Naval Academy, Chris served for a decade with the U.S. Navy Seal Teams where he served in Afghanistan merely two weeks after the September 11 attacks. Chris then served for eighteen years with NASA where he participated in three space missions including 277 days in space, 10 EVAs, served as ISS Commander for Expedition 63 which included the historic docking of the Crew Dragon Demo-2.
The team talks through the journey of his life, including his present station as the President and CEO of the National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation, located in Arlington, Texas.
The Medal of Honor is American's highest recognition of valor in combat as established by President Abraham Lincoln in 1861. The Medal of Honor commemorates those who were willing to risk their lives to protect and serve our country and the ideals we hold most dear.
The National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation is dedicated to sharing the stories and values of these incredible heroes—and to inspire America to build upon their legacies and the National Medal of Honor Museum in Arlington, Texas will serve as the only national institution dedicated to the stories, impact, and legacy of the service members who went on to become Medal of Honor recipients.
The National Medal of Honor Museum is being constructed by Linbeck, broke ground on March 25, 2022 , and will open in Arlington in 2024.
Words simply don't do justice to the experiences, stories, and wisdom that Chris has and shared during his time on the podcast. You're going to really enjoy the conversation with Chris.
