In our Season 1 finale, we wrap up with practical advice for veterans navigating the transition and reflect on the biggest lessons shared by our incredible guests.
In this episode, we cover:
- 10 key lessons from Season 1:
1. Defining your own version of success
2. Starting with what you don't want
3. If you chase money, it runs4. Experimenting and iterating to find the right fit for YOU
5. Networking with curiosity and adding value first
6. Selling yourself
7. If you're feeling imposter syndrome, lean in
8. You're not committing to a contract
9. Leveraging veteran resources
10. Transition is a lifelong process
- 4 things to do immediately after leaving the service: SkillBridge, using your VA home loan (especially for multi-units), taking the VA claims process seriously, and maximizing education benefits (GI Bill, VR&E, veteran scholarships).
- The three biggest “losses” veterans face post-transition: purpose, tribe, and security.
We close Season 1 the same way we started — making the military transition easier, one conversation at a time.
