Financial and Business Lessons - A Veteran's Perspective

Feb 28, 2025

I'm often asked what I learned in the military, or at the US Naval Academy; commanding a nuclear submarine; or as a Division Director for the Pentagon Joint Chiefs. I'll get to those in dedicated future episodes that are in the queue, but today I want to address business lessons and what that shift from W2 earner in the military for almost 30 years to a sales career and business ownership taught me. I cover why I chose what I did and the keys to success that I learned. These are applicable to all aspects of living an inspired and abundant life - listen in and let me know if these nuggets resonate and if you agree!

Highlights

• Impactful moment of military transition.
• Value-based compensation vs. time-based pay.
• Prioritizing liquidity for financial security.
• Overcoming industry challenges and misconceptions.
