Leaving the uniform doesn’t mean leaving your identity behind.

In this episode of All Quiet on the Second Front, Tyler Sweatt sits down with Bill Wall — former Green Beret, JSOC veteran, and CEO of Accrete AI — to talk about transition, purpose, and why the skills forged in special operations translate far beyond the battlefield.

• How military frameworks like F3EA translate directly to business growth
• Why identity loss — not skills — is the hardest part of leaving the uniform
• What it really takes to drive innovation inside institutions that resist change
• How AI is maturing inside government, and where it actually delivers value
• The role of risk tolerance and financial resilience in post-military success
• Why meaningful progress rarely comes from easy or comfortable answers

In this episode of All Quiet on the Second Front, Tyler sits down with former US Congressman Brad Carson to examine one perspective in the evolving debate around AI governance, public trust, and national security.

Brad brings decades of experience across government, academia, and policy, having served two terms in the U.S. House of Representatives and in senior Department of Defense leadership roles. He is now President of Americans for Responsible Innovation, where he focuses on AI policy and public trust.

The conversation explores frontier AI risks, innovation versus regulation, and the tradeoffs policymakers face as public skepticism around AI continues to grow.

What’s happening on the Second Front:

• AI governance and competing views on guardrails
• Frontier AI risks and national security implications
• Public trust, skepticism, and potential backlash
• Innovation, regulation, and policy tradeoffs
• Workforce impacts and public perception of AI
