In this episode, we sit down with veteran and entrepreneur Nick Palmesano to discuss his inspiring journey from serving in the military to creating the TV series "Office Joe." Nick shares his background, including his time at West Point and his military service, and he discusses the challenges of transitioning to civilian life.
When the show M.A.S.H. ended, the viewer was left wondering what the characters' lives would be like after Korea. This show is the After-M.A.S.H. It’s an ensemble workplace comedy that covers the challenging transition every veteran faces when they leave the military, shot in a Parks and Rec / Office style.
He provides a fascinating look into the world of veteran entrepreneurship, sharing the risks and rewards of starting a business. The conversation also delves into the creation of "Office Joe," a show that uses comedy to explore the unique experience of a veteran adjusting to civilian work culture. Nick also discusses his involvement with the nonprofit "Save Our Allies" and announces his upcoming book, "Pig Latin."
The showrunner and many cast members are popular veterans who have lived many of these experiences. Though the show covers many serious topics, the show never takes itself seriously and the characters and themes are often larger-than-life.
