93. Building Better Teams through Learning and Development: Steve Gilman’s Lessons from Baseball, Military, & Startups

TheMilVet Podcast

Welcome to the Military Veteran Podcast! In today's episode, we’re excited to host Steve Gilman, the co-founder and CEO of OneRange, alongside Carina Cho and Lenore Karafa. Steve has an incredible, multifaceted background, —from being a Major League Baseball athlete to an Intelligence Officer and now a successful entrepreneur. We dive into his journey, the lessons he's learned along the way, and how his diverse experiences have shaped the creation of OneRange—a platform designed to help organizations grow smarter, more connected teams.

In this episode, Steve takes us through his career path, from his early days as a mechanical engineer and baseball player to his time in the Defense Intelligence Agency. He shares how these experiences led him to start his first company, Blockparty, and later pivot to his current venture, OneRange. Steve discusses the challenges and rewards of building a business, particularly in the realm of people development and upskilling, and how the company is addressing one of the biggest issues facing organizations today—empowering talent through personalized learning.
