Supply Chain Now

The Tango Tango Podcast, or “Top Talks,” isn’t just another veteran-focused show—it’s a front-row seat to real, raw, and unfiltered conversations with those who’ve served and those who support them. Hosted by Lloyd Knight, retired Air Force First Sergeant, Co-Founder & President of VETLANTA, and Veteran Talent Acquisition Manager at UPS, this podcast delivers powerful stories and hard-earned lessons straight from the voices of veterans. In the military, “Top” is the trusted First Sergeant—the leader who ensures the morale, welfare, and discipline of the unit. That same leadership, authenticity, and straight-shooting honesty shape every episode of Tango Tango. Join us for conversations that get to the heart of what it means to serve, transition, and thrive beyond the uniform. Whether you’re a veteran, a supporter, or just someone who values grit, resilience, and real talk, Tango Tango is where you’ll find inspiration, hard truths, and powerful takeaways you won’t hear anywhere else. Tune in. Be inspired. Walk away stronger.

Mark shares his journey from growing up as a talented young musician in New York to serving in the U.S. Army’s prestigious Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps. Along the way, he reflects on performing on international stages, representing the military through music, and navigating the transition from uniform to civilian leadership.
