Every week the Washington Examiner and SiriusXM Radio bring you Mainstreet Meets the Beltway. On this Veterans Day edition, Salena Zito is off, and Capri Cafaro sits in the host seat. Cafaro is a former state senator in Ohio, and a current resident at the American University School of Public Affairs.

Joining Capri are two colleagues from American University, and a Fox News host. Tony Hollinger is director of initiatives for student engagement & diversity at American University and a Marine Corps veteran. While Hollinger says he didn’t always know the military was the path he would choose, he says that his time in the Marines “definitely impacted [his] professional outlook and…professional success.” He goes on to say that in the armed services he learned leadership “the practical way, by leading,” and how to get a group of people to accomplish people than they ever could on their own.
