À propos de cet audio

 Welcome to The Strategic Veteran, a raw and unfiltered journey into military transition. Host Adam Peters challenges the status quo by sharing authentic stories of veterans navigating life after service while advocating for real systemic change in how our military prepares service members for civilian life. Each episode dives deep into the human transition experience - from the struggles that many face but few discuss to the transformative moments that shape new paths forward. Through honest conversations with fellow veterans, Adam explores the challenges of identity, purpose, and belonging that come with hanging up the uniform. More than just a podcast, The Strategic Veteran is a movement. It's about proving that meaningful change is possible, even in systems others claim can't be changed. Whether you're a veteran seeking connection, a service member preparing for transition, or someone passionate about supporting our military community, these stories will inspire, challenge, and empower you to be part of the solution. Join us as we work to bridge the gap between military and civilian life, one story at a time.Copyright 2024 All rights reserved. Politique Sciences politiques Sciences sociales

    In this episode, Zack Miller, founder and CEO of Patriot Growth Capital, breaks down why entrepreneurship is one of the most powerful paths back to purpose after the military. Raised by two Marines and surrounded by service his entire life, Zack shares how he walked away from corporate America to help veterans become business owners instead of employees. We talk identity loss, risk, money, network, and why owning cash-flowing businesses creates real freedom after service.
