            **Wingmen,**

Our Air Force is at an inflection point, where the leaders we build today will shape the service for decades to come. Those leaders need to continually grow, develop and challenge themselves - and each other. I'm excited to share with you five new books and three podcasts that will help refine your skills as leaders and Airmen.

As lifelong learners, our Airmen will continue to remain the greatest strategic competitive advantage we have over any adversary. I'm honored to serve alongside you.

Legacy is a unique, inspiring handbook for leaders in all fields, and it asks: What are the secrets of success - sustained success? How do you achieve world-class standards day after day, week after week, year after year? How do you handle the pressure? How do you train to win at the highest level? What do you leave behind you after you're gone?
