Major Moves Beyond the Uniform: Life Lessons From Major Dave Bauman
Today on the Buckle Up Podcast, we welcome a very special guest and dear friend of mine—Major Dave Bauman, USMC (Retired).
Dave and I go all the way back to our college days, and I’ve always admired the strength, humility, and heart he brings to everything he does. A retired Marine with 26 years of service, Dave joined us today not just as a veteran, but as a mentor and voice of wisdom.
What makes this episode even more meaningful is how it came together. I called Dave earlier today about a family friend who was looking for options to help her son afford college. Without hesitation, Dave said, “I can come on in an hour.” That’s just the kind of man he is.
In this episode, Dave shares his personal journey—from enlisting right after high school to rising through the ranks and becoming an officer. But this conversation goes far beyond military service. It’s about life, growth, discipline, and stepping outside your comfort zone. Dave drops gem after gem—lessons that will resonate with anyone chasing their dreams or facing uncertainty.
We were honored to have him on, and I truly believe this episode will inspire and empower anyone who listens.
“We didn’t know it all— we learned with love, led with kindness, and earned our way to the top.”
