SUMMARY:Advancing The Line - Tampa Featuring Lt. Col. Scott Mann
DESCRIPTION:Here’s a bit about Ret. Lt. Col. Scott Mann:\n\n\n\nLieutenant Colonel (Retired) Scott Mann is a former U.S. Army Green Beret with combat tours all over the world including Colombia\, Iraq\, and multiple tours in Afghanistan. He is a warrior storyteller and the President and founder of Rooftop Leadership\, a leadership consulting and training company in Tampa\, Florida where he shares the rapport-building skills he learned in Special Forces to help today’s leaders make better human connections when stakes are high and trust is low. Scott helps organizations gain a better understanding of their internal culture while exposing the potential for conflict that exists when trust has deteriorated. In the same way he empowered local tribes in Iraq and Afghanistan to make transformative decisions using very few resources\, Scott teaches corporate leaders and their teams the relationship-building techniques that drove so many of his successful combat operations. \n\n\n\nScott is the NYT Best-selling Author of Operation Pineapple Express and #1 International Best-Selling Author of Game Changers\, Going Local to Defeat Violent Extremists. He has spoken on three TEDx stages and is also a playwright and actor in his recent play brought to film about the Afghan War and the unforeseen cost of war on our Veterans called “Last Out: Elegy of a Green Beret\,” which is available on Amazon Prime Video\, Google Play\, AppleTV\, and VUDU. \n\n\n\nScott is the founder of Task Force Pineapple and the 501c3 Operation Pineapple Express Relief where he actively advocates in Congress and on national media outlets for the safe passage and resettlement of our abandoned Afghan Allies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Zack A Knight in a business networking conversation at Centre Club where we feature veterans of the local community that are making an impact as we all come together in one place to build community and business. Each of these events are open to the public\, veteran and non-veteran alike. We encourage you to show up and show your support for the local veteran that is being highlighted this month! \n\n\nOur Agenda: \n5:00-5:30pm: Open Networking and Host comments \n5:45pm-6:30pm: Local Veteran or Veteran Organization highlight & fireside chat \n6:30pm: Open Networking \n\n\n\n \n*Business Professional Attire is required for entrance at the Centre Club.

SUMMARY:Atlanta Speaker Series: Ryan Hendrickson May 6th and May 7th
DESCRIPTION:After surviving stepping on an IED that nearly claimed his life\, one Green Beret embarked on an extraordinary journey—from the battlefields of Afghanistan to humanitarian work in Ukraine\, his story is one of courage\, resilience\, and finding profound purpose in serving others\, transforming personal tragedy into a mission of hope and healing for those in need.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSergeant First Class (SFC) Ryan Hendrickson is a brave\, determined\, and courageous soldier — a Green Beret clearing the way for his twelve-man team while conducting combat operations against the Taliban. As the “tip of the spear\,” his role is to ensure the route taken by U.S. and Afghan troops are free of IEDs — improvised explosive devices. Many soldiers do not survive their last step; those who do often lose at least one limb. \n\n\n\nWhile rescuing an Afghan soldier outside a mud-hut compound in 2010 — knowing that he was in “uncleared” territory — Ryan stepped on an IED with his right foot. The device exploded\, leaving his foot dangling at the end of his leg. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAgenda for Ryan:May 6th:Dinner at Atlanta History Center 5pm-7pmAuthor Talk at Atlanta History Center 7:30pm-9:30pmMay 7th:Breakfast at Buckhead Club 7:30am-9am \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHere’s a bit more about Ryan: Ryan Hendrickson\, a retired U.S. Army Special Forces Green Beret and decorated combat veteran\, is the founder of the nonprofit Tip of the Spear Landmine Removal and author of the acclaimed memoir Tip of the Spear. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest\, Ryan was shaped by his father’s life lessons\, which instilled resilience and a drive to take chances. \n\n\n\n\nDuring his 22-year military career\, Ryan deployed to Iraq\, Afghanistan\, and various regions in Central and South America. He earned numerous distinctions\, including the Silver Star\, four Bronze Stars\, a Purple Heart\, and an Army Commendation Medal with Valor. In 2010\, while serving in Afghanistan\, Ryan stepped on an IED\, sustaining life-threatening injuries that led to 27 surgeries. Despite the grueling recovery\, he returned to Afghanistan four more times as a Green Beret and twice as a contractor\, exemplifying his ethos of service and perseverance. \n\n\n\nRyan’s combat experiences—clearing routes\, preventing casualties\, and rescuing comrades under fire—shaped his commitment to helping others. Following his retirement in 2020\, he channeled this commitment into his nonprofit\, dedicating himself to demining war-torn areas. In 2022\, Ryan began clearing landmines in Ukraine\, working alongside American and Ukrainian veterans to restore safety to agricultural fields and empower local communities. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<script type="wphb-delay-type" data-wphb-type="text/javascript">\n_linkedin_partner_id = "7060562";\nwindow._linkedin_data_partner_ids = window._linkedin_data_partner_ids || [];\nwindow._linkedin_data_partner_ids.push(_linkedin_partner_id);\n</script><script type="wphb-delay-type" data-wphb-type="text/javascript">\n(function(l) {\nif (!l){window.lintrk = function(a\,b){window.lintrk.q.push([a\,b])};\nwindow.lintrk.q=[]}\nvar s = document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0];\nvar b = document.createElement("script");\nb.type = "text/javascript";b.async = true;\nb.src = "https://snap.licdn.com/li.lms-analytics/insight.min.js";\ns.parentNode.insertBefore(b\, s);})(window.lintrk);\n</script>\n<noscript>\n<img height="1" width="1" style="display:none;" alt="" src="https://px.ads.linkedin.com/collect/?pid=7060562&fmt=gif" />\n</noscript>

SUMMARY:Advancing The Line - Tampa
DESCRIPTION:After surviving stepping on an IED that nearly claimed his life\, one Green Beret embarked on an extraordinary journey—from the battlefields of Afghanistan to humanitarian work in Ukraine\, his story is one of courage\, resilience\, and finding profound purpose in serving others\, transforming personal tragedy into a mission of hope and healing for those in need. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Zack A Knight in a business networking conversation at Centre Club where we feature veterans of the local community that are making an impact as we all come together in one place to build community and business. Each of these events are open to the public\, veteran and non-veteran alike. We encourage you to show up and show your support for the local veteran that is being highlighted this month! \n\n\nOur Agenda: \n5:00-5:30pm: Open Networking and Host comments \n5:45pm-6:30pm: Local Veteran or Veteran Organization highlight & fireside chat \n6:30pm: Open Networking \n**Business Casual Attire Required** \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis month we are featuring Ryan Hendrickson:\n\n\n\nSergeant First Class (SFC) Ryan Hendrickson is a brave\, determined\, and courageous soldier — a Green Beret clearing the way for his twelve-man team while conducting combat operations against the Taliban. As the “tip of the spear\,” his role is to ensure the route taken by U.S. and Afghan troops are free of IEDs — improvised explosive devices. Many soldiers do not survive their last step; those who do often lose at least one limb. \n\n\n\nWhile rescuing an Afghan soldier outside a mud-hut compound in 2010 — knowing that he was in “uncleared” territory — Ryan stepped on an IED with his right foot. The device exploded\, leaving his foot dangling at the end of his leg.
