35 Hours. No Margin. What Leaders Must Know | Trey Morriss (Ep. 160)

from Rising Tide Leadership Podcast · host Dr. MO

What happens when 57 airmen — most with zero combat experience — are handed the keys to a top-secret mission and told to go start a war? 🛫 Col. Trey Morriss (USAF, Ret.) takes us inside DOOM 34, the once-classified B-52 strike that opened Operation Desert Storm — 35 hours, 14,000 miles, and enough things going wrong to make your head spin. 🎖️ From losing an engine minutes after takeoff to running on fumes over the Mediterranean, Trey unpacks what real leadership under pressure actually looks like — and why trust, accountability, and preparation aren't things you build when the crisis hits. They're things you build long before it does. 💡 Whether you're leading a boardroom or a bomber crew, this one will challenge everything you think you know about readiness. So here's the question: Are you building the trust your team will need BEFORE the pressure arrives — or are you counting on building it when it's already too late? 🔥 #RisingTideLeadership #ColTreyMorriss #DOOM34 #LeadershipUnderPressure #TrustCantBeSurged #MilitaryLeadership #SecretSquirrel #OperationDesertStorm #LeadershipPodcast #BuildBetterLeaders Website: www.treymorriss.com Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/treymorriss/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/treymorriss/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/trey.morriss Facbook DOOM 34: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581295749907 AMAZON Link DOOM 34: https://a.co/d/09JExBHm More of MO: www.rtclc.com https://medium.com/@poorboymo www.youtube.com/risingtideleadership https://buymeacoffee.com/risingtide.mo https://www.linkedin.com/in/poorboymo/ https://www.facebook.com/risingtideculture https://www.youtube.com/@risingtideleadership https://www.instagram.com/rising_tide_leadership/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rising-tide-leadership-podcast/id1546034213 https://open.spotify.com/show/2jUqyH9hTOamOIOAxcO6yH?si=9d0ff2c2b2ae4289 –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Work it out by LiQWYD / liqwyd Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 Free Download / Stream: https://www.audiolibrary.com.co/liqwy...
