Скачать или смотреть Boating, Technology, and Leadership: Lessons from Tyler Temple, Founder of Pollentia Inc.

In this episode of TheMilVet Podcast, host Beau Higgins sits down with Tyler Temple — U.S. Navy veteran, former damage controlman, and Founder/CEO of Pollentia Inc.

Tyler shares his journey from growing up fascinated by boats and spending time on ferries, to joining the Navy and gaining hands-on experience in damage control and ship operations, to identifying a gap in the boating industry and founding a company focused on safety, accessibility, and cutting-edge technology. He discusses how his Navy experience shaped his entrepreneurial mindset and inspired the development of his AI-driven co-captain system — a centralized intelligence tool designed to make boating safer and simpler for everyone.

Listeners will gain insight into:
How early experiences and military service can ignite a lifelong passion and career path
The importance of embracing failure, learning fast, and using setbacks to innovate
How to identify gaps in a market and create a differentiated product that is difficult to replicate
Practical strategies for entrepreneurship, including planning, building the right team, and understanding your ecosystem
The value of humility, curiosity, and listening to your customers in driving success
Lessons on transitioning from the military to a tech-focused business environment

Tyler also shares his vision for the future of marine technology and the goal of becoming the primary source for marine intelligence, while keeping boating accessible, safe, and user-friendly.
