Episode Notes:

Former Chief Master Sgt. Kaleth Wright, famously nicknamed "Enlisted Jesus" by the Airmen he served with, unpacks his career, from its rocky start to its legendary finish. Wright explains why listening to the needs of enlisted Airmen was so important to him in his role, as well as his approach to social media as a way to facilitate meaningful connections with those same Airmen.
