Episode Quotes:

On DeRae's transition back from service

31:41: [Maya]: How was it adjusting back to civilian life? Was there, you know, sort of this process, or were you like, you know what, I'm back, I'm not going to think about it like the way that you've been, you know, up until this point of like, leaving that there, and I'm moving on over here, and this is now my focus. Or was there a time of transition for you?

32:03: [DeRae Crane]: I was aware. I became more aware that I am different now. There is no way to go downrange and come back the same. So I was aware of it, and I would catch myself getting upset about certain things that are, that's bothering someone else. But it wouldn't bother me because the way I see the world and how broad my purview is now. So yeah, that was. That's a journey, and I'm still on that journey today. You know, as I try to give people grace, so yeah, I mean, you know, you just become more aware.

Why DeRae held on to boxing

Why I was so ambitious is just because I grew up so poor. I don't want to be poor anymore. And boxing was my way out. It exposed me to different things in the world. So, for the first year, we travel around Iowa and then you start getting better, you're qualifying for regionals and you're moving on to nationals. I won my first national title at 11 years old and I was hooked. Mike Tyson says success begets success. Absolutely. Because once you experience that, you're, like, okay, I want to do this again.
[07:19] Maya: Yeah, it's a fire. It's a fire that lights you up, right?
Fire was lit. I held on to boxing and I did not let go, held onto it tight - tighter than a lot of my relationships, my friendships, as it was the thing that was the most rewarding, the most fulfilling. I could go put the work in and, you know, get the results back, get the benefits back. And it kept me out of trouble. So, that's always good. Kept me focused and disciplined.

The importance of investing in a good business school

52:37: I think folks, if they do, have the opportunity to go to business school. You know, go to the best business school that you can go to—the one where you feel like you'll grow there. Now, those are the ones where you're a little, you know, a little nervous, a little anxious being around those folks because you're on the other side, just like the depression in 2008, like on the other side. You're gonna be so much better. You have to stretch.

What’s next for DeRae?

50:37: I do have other interests, and if you look at my resume for the last 15 years, like every two to three years, I'm in a different role. I'm doing something. So even in the military, like every two or three years, you're doing something different, something new. And that's continued on in my corporate career. And, you know, I'm actually in, like, that window where I'm looking for something new to do. And I want to pivot into something else. I currently, you know, I work in credit. It's been awesome. It was like a continuation of business school. But I may want to shift into something else, you know, here soon, you know, within the next probably three to six months. I'll be doing something different, something new, something I haven't done before.
