Leading in Dangerous Times... Then Fired. When Service Collides With Politics

What happens when leaders spend decades serving their country, only to find themselves caught in the crosshairs of politics? This week we'll explore leadership, courage, and resilience through the stories of people who refused to stand down when their careers took unexpected turns.

Nancy Lacore - Retired United States Navy vice admiral who served as the 16th Chief of the Navy Reserve and Commander, Navy Reserve Force, from August 23, 2024, until her removal from command on August 22, 2025. Now, Nancy is a Congressional Candidate for SC-01.

Bree Fram - Astronautical engineer, public policy expert, author, speaker, former Congressional candidate, and retired U.S. Space Force colonel. She was forced to retire from the military in 2025 due to Trump administration policy regarding transgender people.

Some people serve in uniform. Some people serve in office. Some people serve in their communities. But democracy survives because ordinary people decide that service is bigger than any title. And when one door closes, leaders find another way to serve.
