Women in Combat, with USMC Major Ryann Engholm

Major Ryann Engholm has always held herself to the highest standard. Ryann and I met back in Quantico at The Basic School, where she kicked most of our asses and ended up serving as a USMC Logistics Officer. In Afghanistan, she also served as a Platoon Commander for a Female Engagement Team, a specialized unit of Marines that had the unique ability to communicate with and search Afghan women. Ryann is still utilizing her strong leadership skills, working as an occupational therapist for the Mayo Clinic, and starting a business to help young people kick start their careers. Ryann is an inspirational person, and in this episode, we discuss leadership, women in combat, physical standards, and navigating life as a Marine during and after Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. And be sure to check out Ryann’s new company, Catalyst Group, at the link below.  Catalyst Group on Instagram
