Dan Goldenberg, Executive Director of the Call of Duty Endowment, stopped by The Protectors to talk about the incredible work they are doing that has helped over 70,000 veterans gain meaningful employment, the creation of the COD Endowment by Activision Blizzard CEO, Bobby Kotick, keeping the focus of hiring veterans “narrow & deep”, and tons of other topics. Dan also talks about COD teaming up with Medal of Honor recipient Florent Groberg for COD: Modern Warfare. Big shout out to Tu Lam [Ronin], Chad [Alex, Echo 3-1), and April Nicol.
