In this episode of The Goode Show, I sit down with Captain Javier Lopez Martinez, Commanding Officer of Amphibious Construction Battalion ONE (ACB1), one of the largest commands on base in Coronado, CA. From humble beginnings to leading at the highest levels, Captain Martinez shares the story behind the uniform—what inspired him to join the Navy, the challenges he’s faced along the way, and how those experiences have shaped the leader he is today. This conversation dives into leadership, resilience, and the reality that great leaders aren’t born—they’re built through experience, perspective, and purpose. If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to lead… this one’s for you. 🎧 Listen now and don’t forget to follow The Goode Show for more conversations from within the military community and beyond. 🎧 Spotify Description (Episode 85)
