Business:Management
General Jim Molan, AO, DSC is a former soldier, diplomat, author and speaker. We explore all things from why 'Andrew' is called 'Jim' through to winning the war in Iraq, border security and national energy policy.
Of course we go low-brow too!
Jim has unfinished business in Australian politics. He explains why!
Unbeknownst to Jim, we personally selected 'General Jim's' close protection team leader in 2004.... and we have some inside information on General Jim! We share it too!
As always we continue to show learned insubordination to our highest ranking former military officer!
PS: Apologies for the audio quality ..... as you know we suck at podcasting!
