About Alex Rodino
Built Through Pressure. Led With Purpose.
After over a decade leading infantry units across war zones, elite training programs, and international missions, Alex Rodino brings a rare kind of leadership to the civilian world, grounded in clarity, built for impact.
Core Beliefs
“Legacy begins the moment you decide to lead with purpose.”
After a decade leading in high-stakes environments — from Iraq and Afghanistan to elite U.S. Army leadership programs — Alexander Rodino forged a leadership style rooted in pressure, precision, and purpose. Blending real-world command with academic training in psychology and neuroscience, he discovered that great leadership isn’t instinct — it’s a system.
MINDFULNESS INTELLIGENCE (MiQ) IS THAT SYSTEM.
At its core, MiQ teaches that in moments of chaos, leaders don’t rise — they default to their level of trained awareness.
That’s why the most enduring leadership begins within.

Alex Rodino
“The burdens you carry as a leader don’t vanish; they become the stories, culture, and habits your people inherit. Make sure what you pass down is worth carrying.”
