Discover how The Warrior Alliance is helping veterans and their families find true “success after service” with holistic support, trusted navigation, and powerful community partnerships. In this Warrior Alliance Spotlight episode, hosts Scott Munn and Navy veteran Tug Cowart sit down with Sgt. Maj. (Ret.) Mark Eister, Vice President of Operations, to unpack the real value the organization delivers—meeting veterans where they are and addressing the full 360 of their lives.

Mark shares his own challenging transition from a 21-year Army career to civilian life, why “you don’t know what you don’t know” after separation, and how Warrior Alliance fills those gaps with housing, legal, financial, wellness, and benefits navigation. You’ll hear moving success stories, including a Vietnam veteran given the dignity he deserves at end of life, and veteran Luis Algarin, who went from needing help to serving alongside the Alliance at outreach events.

The conversation highlights what makes the Warrior Alliance “secret sauce” work: real people answering the phone, staying on the line, asking “how are you really doing?” and uncovering needs veterans didn’t realize they had. Mark explains how a disciplined operations culture, 40+ vetted partners (from the VA and Georgia Department of Veterans Service to the Atlanta Braves), and a growing statewide footprint are creating a seamless safety net for warriors and families—whether they left the military last week or 50 years ago.

If you’re a veteran who thinks “I’m good,” this episode will challenge that mindset and show why getting registered now creates a safety net for whatever comes next—and how you can move from receiving support to serving other warriors.
