EP. 87 No One's Dropping The Drawbridge, You Must Storm The Castle

Brendan Mullen, CEO and Founder of MKS2 Technologies, has spent an entire career in the Service of others, in and out of uniform.   After West Point, combat and time in D.C., Brendan embarked on a path different than most Army Officers.  His first exposure into the private sector was as COO of a high-growth start up, then a run for Congress and eventually supporting improv comedy to enter into the government space.  What all of these seemingly unrelated things had in common, were honoring those that Serve.  Brendan saw an opportunity to be a part of upholding the sacrifice his classmates, brothers and sisters had made by raising his hand and offering his support.  Running for Congress showed him the good, bad and ugly of democracy, but taught him about how our most vulnerable citizens are often not prioritized.  Helping run a high-growth start up showed him he could adapt to the private sector quickly and there was a living to be made by helping folks integrate into the government space.  He shares that building a business is the hardest thing he has ever done (even compared to war zone) and is proud of what his Team has accomplished in nearly 15 years. No one is going to give you the keys to the kingdom, you have to storm the castle to get what you want. This bootstrapping entrepreneur believes it’s not about collecting badges and trophies, it about making a difference.  Brendan and MKS2 exists to transform lives and continues to push to that summit.
