Goat Rodeo #47 - Joe Kent Resigns, Anduril’s $20B Bet, and the Future of Defense Software

This Episode:

This week on Goat Rodeo, Garrett Smith and Dave Caudle cover a mix of Washington dynamics, defense acquisition, and industry shifts.

The conversation starts with the resignation of Joe Kent and what it reflects about internal disagreement and pressure inside the national security apparatus.

They also touch on recent time on Capitol Hill and how members and staff are thinking about defense priorities and execution.

The episode then turns to Anduril’s $20B Army contract and what it signals about software-defined warfare, faster acquisition, and the role of nontraditional defense companies.
