  • MSgt James Stringfield - The Pit Episode 2_Summit 365
    Mar 1 2026

    In this episode, MSgt James Stringfield brings an authentic, growth-driven leadership perspective to The Pit. After an early career setback of failing out of EOD school, he learned that success isn’t about rigid plans, it’s about adaptability, resilience, and staying true to your values.

    Now serving as a First Sergeant, he defines success not as rank, but as the positive impact you leave on people. He emphasizes reframing setbacks into forward-focused action, building trust through empathy, and mastering followership as the foundation of strong leadership.

    His core message is simple: Be authentic. Release the need for control. Find mentors. Build community.

    Because real success isn’t achieved alone, it’s built through people.
