What can parks and natural resource leaders learn from military operations, professional athletes, top performers, and Pixar?

How to build effective feedback systems.

In this episode, Chris and Jeremy dig into the power of After-Action Reviews and exit interviews—two tools that can help you capture honest feedback, build trust, and make your organization better season after season. Whether you're managing a summer trail crew, hosting college interns, or just wrapped a big event, this conversation will help you create space for reflection and growth (without turning it into a bureaucratic mess).

Along the way, they share favorite questions to ask, mistakes to avoid, and real stories from the field.
