About this episode

In this episode, we explored the topic of health, featuring Paul Reilly's inspiring journey from military service to his current achievements, showcasing the enduring nature of transformation. Throughout his transition to civilian life, Paul embraced learning and growth. While leaving the military was straightforward for Paul, the subsequent path was challenging. Initially, he entered an industry—medical sales—that didn't align with his dreams. Despite this, he found enjoyment and success in the field. After dedicating 20 years to his career, Paul embarked on his entrepreneurial journey in 2012 by launching Active Rx franchises. Although the business model eventually collapsed, Paul chose to listen to his clients rather than give up. When Active Rx closed and his investment faltered, he rebranded. This led to the creation of Midstrong! Through working with numerous clients, Paul identified their needs and devised a process to optimize their healthspan—the period of life during which one remains physically active and engaged. As service members, we often prioritize essential aspects like jobs, living standards, and benefits when transitioning out of the military, but neglect self-care. It's crucial to address our healthspan to ensure more quality years with our families. This episode was filled with insights on resilience, growth, and the pursuit of dreams. It was a truly exceptional discussion!
