Introducing Tango Tango: Real Talk with Real Veterans

In this inaugural episode of the Tango Tango podcast, proudly sponsored by Supply Chain Now, Scott Luton and Lloyd Knight kick off a new chapter in veteran storytelling by exploring the evolution from Veteran Voices to Tango Tango. The mission remains the same—amplifying veteran perspectives, experiences, and leadership—but the format and energy get a bold refresh.

Lloyd shares his inspiring journey from a 20-year career in the U.S. Air Force to his current role leading veteran talent acquisition and retention at UPS, one of the largest veteran employers in the world. He reflects on how his experiences as a loadmaster, first sergeant, and logistics innovator shaped his leadership approach, both in service and in corporate America.

The episode also digs into Lloyd’s founding of VETLANTA, an award-winning collaboration hub uniting veteran-focused business resource groups across Atlanta, and the creation of his book and platform, Knight Work. Lloyd and Scott discuss the power of culture, community, and honest conversations—and why Lloyd chose “Tango Tango” as the perfect name for this new era in veteran advocacy media.

 

This episode is hosted by Lloyd Knight and Scott Luton, and produced by Trisha Cordes, Joshua Miranda, and Amanda Luton.
