CEO Connect is a podcast from The Headstrong Project that brings together executives who understand that strong organizations are built by leaders who invest in people and support veterans in the workplace.

Episode two features Larry Richardson, CEO of AmeriPro Health and a Marine Corps veteran who went from military service and public safety to building and scaling a rapidly growing healthcare organization. He’s joined by Michael D'Ambrose, a retired Chief Human Resources Officer with experience leading global teams at Boeing, ADM, and Citigroup, and a longtime advocate for veteran hiring and leadership development.

Hosted by Steve Amsden, founding member of HirePurpose, CEO Connect explores how the private sector can play a meaningful role in supporting veteran mental health and shaping strong workplace cultures.

In this episode, Larry and Michael discuss what makes veterans some of the strongest hires, why military experience is often misunderstood, and what leadership looks like when people come first.
