Dave Berke on The Need To Lead
Monday, 20 October, 2025

“The authenticity of my writing was going to come through by telling these stories in a very exposed way” Dave Berke is a retired Marine Corps Officer and Top Gun instructor who is back on Explore The Space Podcast! This is his 5th time on the show and first since 2018. He is here to discuss his incredible new book “The Need To Lead” and what a great time we had talking about his journey, the power of self-talk, intergenerational leadership and much more. Part leadership book, part autobiography, this book is an amazing read and I’m so proud of my friend for writing it.
