Command 2 Corporate
Welcome to Command 2 Corporate!
We’re your hosts, Larry Perry and Tawofik “T” Ghazal—two Army veterans who took different paths in service but found common ground in corporate America. One of us, a retired Lieutenant Colonel with over 20 years of leadership experience in the military, and the other, a former Staff Sergeant who served a decade before transitioning into the business world.
Together, we break down our thoughts on leadership—from the motor pool to the boardroom, and everywhere in between.
This is for leaders in transition and leaders in the making. It’s for up-and-coming professionals trying to find their place; the team players, the quiet influencers, the culture builders, and the ones doing the hard work without a spotlight. No fluff, no gimmicks—just real talk from those who’ve led through challenges, adapted under pressure, and thrived in the face of change.
Leadership isn’t just taught, it’s lived. Let’s get to work.

Profits VS. People | Command 2 Corporate
Is it possible to prioritize people and profits—or does one always come at the expense of the other?
In this thought-provoking episode of Command 2 Corporate, two Army veterans turned corporate leaders unpack the tension between mission and margin. From leading soldiers on the battlefield to driving performance in the boardroom, we explore how leadership changes when success is measured in dollars—not lives.
We discuss:
🔹 Times we’ve worked in profit-first vs. people-first cultures
🔹 How military values shaped our leadership in cutthroat environments
🔹 The hidden dangers of financial-only performance metrics
🔹 When it’s necessary to make tough calls for the bottom line
🔹 And how leaders can stay grounded and lead with integrity
