Why Athletes and Veterans Make Powerful Leaders with JR Butler | Ep. 184
In this episode of the Spartan Leadership Podcast, I’m joined by JR Butler, a former college hockey player who took the grit he learned on the ice and built a powerhouse career in tech. From leading teams to scaling companies, JR has proven that athletes and veterans bring something rare to the business world. Now, as the CEO of Shift Group, he’s helping other former athletes and vets find their place as high-impact leaders in business. We dive into what makes athletes and veterans a cut above in leadership roles, why they’re primed to thrive in high-stakes environments, and how JR is bridging the gap between the field and the boardroom. If you’re ready to learn what it really takes to dominate in business—from resilience to drive and the hunger to win—this one’s for you. Listen in for JR’s journey and why athletes and veterans are ready-made for leadership.
