Passing The Torch with Martin Foster
Passing The Torch is a TORCH LEAP® long-form podcast exploring identity, purpose, leadership, and life after achievement.
---
Hosted by Air Force veteran Martin Foster, each episode features honest conversations with leaders, elite performers, veterans, athletes, authors, entrepreneurs, and culture-shapers who have navigated success, failure, reinvention, and everything in between.
These aren't interviews about résumés. They're conversations about what happens after the medals, the promotions, the championships, and the uniforms, and the lessons worth passing on to the next generation.
Real Conversations. Lasting Impact.
