E97 - Guests: Francis Tutor, Long Standing Defence Correspondent, and Editor of Defence Analysis

I'd love to hear from you; feel free to send me a Text MessageWe live in exceptionally turbulent and risky geopolitical times and, in a slight break from my normal guest episodes, this week I am delighted to feature Francis Tusa.  Francis is a long standing friend and we have also crossed paths professionally many times during my time in uniform.  Francis has spent all his career as a defence analyst and is a very frequent contributor to both broadcast and print media on defence issues.  He is also the founder and ongoing editor of Defence Analysis, a very widely read defence publication that has been running for almost 27 years.Given his CV, there are few better with whom to discuss the defence aspects of the current geopolitical position and, although we do a light touch on Francis' leadership and personal experiences, the majority of this episode is dedicated to a broader conversation about exactly that.  The combination of my own near 35 year military career and Francis' similar time in defence analysis certainly gave us plenty to talk about, and I hope you find the discussion interesting, although I must warn you that it might not make you more relaxed about the risks we currently face both globally and in the UK! Support the showThank you for listening!  If you value the content I produce, please consider supporting the show financially by becoming a member at https://www.patreon.com/leading4life/ or clicking the "Support the Show" link above.You will have the choice of becoming a Supporter, a Champion or a Patron of the show and any contribution you feel able to make will be hugely appreciated.You can find more about me here:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/judsonbob/X: https://x.com/JudsonBobWebsite: https://leading4life.co.uk/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Leading4Life
