Leadership lessons, Army marriages and the secrets to connecting with fellow soldiers are all featured in July as part of the Association of the U.S. Army’s “Army Matters” podcast.

First up is a podcast featuring retired Lt. Col. Joe Byerly, founder of “From the Green Notebook.”

For decades, soldiers have used their hardcover green notebooks to record notes and ideas. While serving, Byerly began to research the history of these distinctive notebooks but also the valuable lessons contained within. His research and writings inspired him to create the popular education platform and podcast series.

During the episode, Byerly shares some of the lessons he’s learned in his own Army career, the importance of reading and writing and how journaling can help someone improve their life—but probably shouldn’t be used in arguments with a spouse.

The episode is available July 2.

Next up, on July 16, is a podcast featuring Lt. Col. Bradley Cooper and his spouse, Heather.

One of the hardest parts of an Army marriage are the deployments, during which a soldier and their family are separated not only physically, but often emotionally. The Coopers have gone through this many times, including a recent two-plus-year command tour in South Korea, and they have created a set of rules that has allowed their marriage to stay strong.

During the podcast, the Coopers share their high school sweethearts-with-a-twist story and the rules they’ve created. They also are put to the test with some questions from the “Not-So-Newlywed Game.”

Finally, the podcast will feature retired Capt. Kimberly Liszka and Army National Guard Capt. Dakota Olson-Harris, co-hosts of the “Dog Tag Diaries” podcast.

During their Army careers, Liszka and Olson-Harris experienced the highs and lows of service. But it was their relationships with fellow female soldiers that provided some of their greatest memories and inspired them to create “Dog Tag Diaries,” a podcast series that provides a forum for women in uniform to share their stories and advice for the next generation.

Liszka retired after serving in the Army as a combat medic, combat nurse, flight nurse instructor and top athlete. Olson-Harris serves in the Army National Guard and is a counselor in her civilian life.

During the podcast, available July 30, they share their Army stories and how the podcast helped other women in uniform.
