On The Other Side: Leadership After Transition

Leaders from all branches of Service exit the military for many different reasons.

Through sharing experiences, I am hopeful that my guests can give some knowledge and hope to our transitioning Veterans. I also hope to reach civilian business owners to give them some understanding of what they are getting by hiring a Veteran, from a leadership perspective.
