In this episode of the Backbone Leader Exchange, SGT Cashe and SSG Jones unpack one of the most powerful but underrated tools a leader can wield, presence.More than just showing up, presence is about being emotionally engaged, consistently visible, and trustworthy in the moments that matter most. From missed opportunities to legacy-shaping leadership moments, this conversation dives deep into what happens when leaders go “missing”... and what greatness looks like when they truly show up.Through raw storytelling, personal failure, and hard-earned wisdom, this episode challenges every NCO and officer to stop leading on autopilot—and start leading with presence.Because of you, our Army is better. Let’s lead like it.
