How The Gentlemen’s Circle Is Redefining Resilient Leadership Through Accountability, Service, and Connection
On this episode of the Through the Storm podcast, Dr. Travis Hearne once again talks to CEO, leadership educator, speaker, fitness professional and retired Marine, Marc Rodriguez, a man whose career embodies resilient leadership. Rodriguez, who first appeared on the show to share his journey from the Marine Corps to a CEO, returns to explore what it takes to lead with strength, purpose, and humility through life’s toughest challenges.
Rodriguez shares how his latest movement, The Gentlemen’s Circle, is redefining leadership and modern masculinity. What began as a simple list of friends’ names has grown into a powerful community of men committed to becoming better leaders, fathers, and citizens. Built on accountability, service, and connection, The Gentlemen’s Circle challenges men to rise above ego and lead with resilience and integrity.
Drawing on his Marine Corps background and entrepreneurial journey, Rodriguez reminds listeners that true strength isn’t about dominance—it’s about responsibility, discipline, and courage. His philosophy centers on restoring accountability, integrity, and purpose among men and entrepreneurs—not through “alpha” energy, but through service, discipline, and community. By sharing his journey from a rigid military mindset to one rooted in empathy and adaptability, Rodriguez illustrates how resilient leadership can transform not only organizations but also the lives of those who lead them.
