What comes after the military? For many veterans, leaving Defence means navigating a new career, rebuilding their identity and finding purpose beyond the uniform.

In Episode 82 of The Grey Man Podcast, Jack Blaine shares his journey from serving in the Australian Army to building a future in the cattle industry. Through Diggers Cattle Company, Jack is doing more than running a business — he’s working to create opportunities for veterans to develop practical skills, enter the cattle industry and find a new direction after service.

Jack opens up about the challenges of military-to-civilian transition, losing the camaraderie of service, planning for life after discharge and the importance of finding a new purpose before leaving Defence.

We also explore veteran entrepreneurship, the realities of building a business and Jack’s efforts to establish pathways that help former serving members take their next step with confidence.

Because leaving the military doesn't mean your next mission has to end.
