2004 Olympic Participant & 2008 Bronze Medalist Larsen Jensen took lessons learned from the pool and brought them to being a Navy Seal. He amplified those lessons and brought them to venture capital in Silicon Valley. Honor, courage and commitment were the soft skills provided to him from the military. But the culture creates the understanding that "you're not supposed to even acknowledge what you do." 

Community Collective Intellligence

Cyber security executives of course grapple with this very issue due to the sensitive nature of what would be shared. But more and more, the community is trying to conceive of ways to collaborate to ensure that collective intelligence outpaces that of cyber criminals.
