About Rich:
Rich Cardona is a first-generation American and retired Marine Corps attack helicopter pilot. After getting a Masters in Business Administration out of fear he wouldn’t be marketable, he ventured into the traditional workplace and landed a job with Amazon. While he admits the company is the tip of the spear, his experience in fulfillment was extremely unfulfilling. He left, moved into his in-law's basement, and dug down deep to find his true passion that would lead to a fulfilling business. After spending time with and documenting Claude Silver, Vayner Media’s Chief Heart Officer, he realized that there was a need for executives like her to become more visible. And the idea was hatched! Rich Cardona Media was born. Today, Rich’s team helps executives and entrepreneurs become more visible by using video to create long-term content and social media strategies. Rich has also created a video series and podcast called “The Leadership Locker” where influencers and industry leaders share their expertise with transitioning service members and veteran entrepreneurs.
