About this listen

This week on All Quiet on the Second Front, Tyler sits down with Brian MacCarthy to talk about why defense innovation keeps getting stuck between good ideas and real delivery. They dig into why the ecosystem keeps confusing motion with progress, and what it takes to get past pilots and into production.

What’s Happening on the Second Front:

  • Why capital without execution doesn’t move the mission
  • The real friction slowing commercial tech adoption in government
  • Culture change as the hardest (and most necessary) battleground
  • Why “prime vs. neoprime” misses the point
  • What it actually takes to move from pilots to scaled impact
