262: Cutting Red Tape: The DoD’s Big Shakeup (EO: Modernizing Defense Acquisitions and Spurring Innovation in the Defense Industrial Base)

Today, we’re diving into the brand-new Executive Order aimed at Modernizing Defense Acquisitions and Spurring Innovation in the Defense Industrial Base. If you’ve ever been stuck in the bureaucratic nightmare of DoD procurement, you know this system has needed a reboot for decades—and this EO might finally deliver it.
In this episode, I break down how this Executive Order could be the long-overdue reset to eliminate inefficiencies, cut red tape, and invite innovation from small businesses and non-traditional players like you. I also share an AI-generated audio breakdown of J. Ronald Fox’s legendary book Defense Acquisition Reform: 1960–2009, giving you historical context on why this new directive matters. Over the next few days, we’ll go deeper into what this means for your strategy—and how you can get support from our team to get in early. Let’s go!
