Jen Tietz: A Woman in the Navy

What do an Iraqi prison camp leader, a Naval Officer, a McKinsey consultant, a Tuck Business School graduate, and a single mom by choice all have in common? Meet Jen Tietz. By the time Jen Tietz was 13-years-old she knew what she wanted to do: Go to university at the United States Naval Academy and enter a life of service. Strong-willed, smart, and driven by a need to achieve at the highest level, Jen’s story is a classic one of not settling for good enough. For anyone whose gone down this path, or would like to know what it takes to do it, this episode of The Sydcast will provide the road map. Except, along the way, things sometimes change. Discoveries are made, failures are challenged, and people grow and change in ways they might never have thought possible. Jen’s story is all of this, a very human story, and as a result her story holds some key lessons for all of us.
