What does it take to shatter a 250-year glass ceiling? Lieutenant General Scott Dingell knows firsthand. As the 45th Surgeon General of the United States Army, he made history as the first administrator, first HBCU graduate, and second African-American male to hold this prestigious position in any military branch throughout our nation's existence.

From the neighborhood courts of Prince George's County, Maryland to commanding 122,000 personnel with a $22.1 billion budget, Dingell's journey reveals the transformative power of competitive spirit, unwavering self-belief, and strategic relationship-building. Growing up as a "latchkey kid" with parents working multiple jobs, he and his neighborhood friends pushed each other toward excellence from an early age, developing the mindset that would later define his leadership philosophy.

Surprisingly, Dingell initially refused to follow his father's military footsteps, emphatically declaring "I ain't serving in the man's army." Life had other plans. When he became a father during his college years at Morgan State, he joined the Army to support his family. What began as practical necessity evolved into an extraordinary 35-year career that would make military history. Along the way, he encountered racism and discrimination but responded with his signature philosophy: "Nobody defines who we are. Nobody but us and we got to define it."

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dingell faced unprecedented leadership challenges that pushed him to his physical limits. After nearly collapsing from exhaustion in his Pentagon office, he learned that sustainable leadership requires personal equilibrium and self-care—a lesson as valuable as any military strategy. Through stories of White House press conferences, congressional hearings, and critical pandemic response decisions, Dingell offers a masterclass in leadership through crisis and chaos.

Want to break through barriers in your own life? Listen now to discover how passion, persistence, and perfectionism can help you define your own success. As Dingell puts it: "Set your mark high. Go big or go home and then go get it."
