Summary
In this week’s Team Never Quit Podcast, Marcus and Melanie are honored to welcome Congressman Jason Crow, who represents Colorado’s Sixth Congressional District.
A former Army Ranger and Bronze Star recipient, Jason brings the heart of a public servant and the grit of a soldier to Congress. From working minimum-wage jobs in high school to deploying to Iraq and Afghanistan with the 82nd Airborne Division and elite 75th Ranger Regiment, Jason’s journey is a powerful testament to servant leadership.
We dive into:
• Jason’s path from working-class roots to the battlefield and into the halls of Congress
• How his military experience shapes his approach to leadership and legislation
• His work helping veterans navigate life after service
• I got hooked in the military for college money. (8:00)
• [The military] totally changed the trajectory of my life. (9:54)
• I always make it a point when I run into a Vietnam vet; I say “Welcome Home.” (16:20)
• [Marcus] Q: “Did you sign up for ranger school? What’s that like?” A: “Well, it sucks.” (20:22)
• Georgia is cold in the winter. It’s just a fuck fest. You’re just cold and tired and hungry for 2 months. (21:05)
• College is good, but I tell a lot of folks is [to learn] a trade. (35:40)
• The civil military divide: How little understanding a lot of people in America have of military service. (39:53)
• To be a veteran advocate, you had to be the squeaky wheel in politics. (41:08)
• Morgan [Luttrell] and I have this bill trying to stop veteran suicides in VA facilities. (43:34)
• We can only make good policy if we have good information. (44:47)
• [Marcus] “You and I don’t need enemies – we have friends.” (48:21)
• [Marcus] “My brother never says anything nice to me.” (48:30)
• [Melanie: Vets should] “Support each other, love each other, lift each other up. Talk shit in a good way. Hold each other accountable.” (49:10)
• The greatest generation fought WWII, defeated fascism, and they came back and became the civic leaders, the political leaders, the business leaders. They set the standard for what citizenship is about. (52:57)
• We have the Bipartisan Veteran Caucus in congress. We call it the Noah’s Ark caucus, because you’ve gotta join with somebody from the other side of the aisle. (54:23)
