Fellow Graduate Class of 2018
2018 Cohort - Talooka Studio
Talooka Studio was only established for 6 months when I joined RBI. I was still learning and trying to figure out how to run our business. RBI facilitated thought provoking conversation and guided me through defining goals and a clear plan to move forward. RBI definitely accelerated the learning curve and provided a knowledgeable group to exchange ideas and business strategy that I would not have had otherwise. I would like to thank Col. Jim George for allowing Talooka Studio to join RBI and reap the benefits of shared knowledge over this past year. It was definitely a priceless experience.
2019 Cohort - Lt. Col. Julian Williams US Army Retired
"The opportunity to engage with former military leaders and current business professionals at RBI offered a very unique experience to learn the intricacies of running a business, leveraging experiences learned in the military and applying them towards leading in the corporate world. Through insightful discussions and mentorship, I gained a deeper understanding of strategic decision-making, resource management, and effective leadership. It was a very rewarding experience and enabled me to become a better leader and savvy management professional. The skills I acquired not only improved my ability to navigate challenges but also equipped me to drive my business forward with confidence."
