The Year End Leadership Event
Close the year with the Forum.
Eric Frohardt
Navy SEAL Combat Veteran · Entrepreneur · ExecutiveEric’s story is not ultimately about being fearless or superhuman. It is about preparation, humility, discipline, resilience, and faith—the qualities that carry a leader when the plan no longer works.
Drawing from his Iowa farm upbringing, SEAL training, service at SEAL Team Six, combat, and the difficult transition out of the military, Eric will challenge us to consider who we become under pressure—and whether we are paying the daily rent required of leadership.
Eric served nearly 12 years on active duty, including with the Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DevGru), deploying to Iraq and Afghanistan before being medically retired as a Chief in 2010 after a combat injury. He went on to found BluCore in Denver, lead StrongFirst as CEO, and serve as COO of Defy. Today he is Chief Standards Officer at Goldenrod Companies and serves on the board of Global Partners in Hope.

The CFO’s Healthcare Cost Playbook

What’s Actually Driving Trend
A moderated panel on rising healthcare costs and what they mean for the finance function — how much of this is a labor and workforce question, where fiduciary exposure is growing, and what CFOs should be asking before the next benefits renewal. Conversation-driven, with audience Q&A and a playbook to take with you.
