    The DisruptiveAF Podcast - 8) Carrie Martin: Building a path for others to follow in contracting and innovation

    The DisruptiveAF Podcast - 8) Carrie Martin: Building a path for others to follow in contracting and innovation
    Carrie Martin: "Even if you take a loss here and there, don't stop. You're not always going to be able to change people. You have to inspire your own positivity and make increments of change that are within your power--sometimes your change is your attitude and the way you look at things, even if you can't change policy." Carrie has been involved in the defense innovation ecosystem for about a year. She has attended numerous RAPIDx workshops in various AFWERX facilities. She was recently named the RAPIDx Flight Chief for AFWERX operational support. She is passionate about helping innovators find the best acquisition method for making their ideas become a reality. During this episode, we discuss innovative contracting mechanisms and the office culture needed for experimenting and trying new things. Carrie also mentions the importance of pulling enabling agencies like contracting into your innovation projects early and often. All in all, the key message is that when you innovate, don't forget to build a path behind you for others to follow.
