On this episode, we welcome Ian Winer ’96 as he shares his unique story of commitment, transformation, and resilience. He recounts his journey to West Point, a path paved thanks to his skills on the rink playing ice hockey and his affinity for the Academy's core values that resonated deeply with his personal aspirations. Ian offers a perspective on the challenges and triumphs of cadet life and opens up about the unforeseen twist in his military career. Listen.
