Over the years, I've met a lot of veterans who have talked about starting a business.

Most of them don't lack motivation.

What they're missing is a roadmap.

They have the work ethic. They have the leadership experience. They know how to solve problems under pressure.

What they don't always know is where to start.

That's why I wanted to talk with Elizabeth Harding about the Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans at Wright State University.

What caught my attention about this program is that it isn't just another class where people sit around talking about business ideas. It's designed to help veterans take an idea and turn it into something real.

I've always believed that veterans have the skills to be successful business owners. Sometimes they just need the right people around them and the right opportunity to get started.

If you've ever thought about owning a business, or know a veteran who's been kicking around the idea, I think you'll find a lot of value in this conversation.

One thing I've noticed after talking to veterans for years...

Most aren't asking for special treatment.

They're just trying to figure out what's available to them.

The frustrating part is that there are a lot of good programs, benefits, and organizations out there. The problem is many veterans never hear about them until someone points them in the right direction.

That's why I wanted to have Dr. Cassie Barlow back on the podcast.

We talked about some of the work being done to connect veterans with resources, jobs, support networks, and opportunities that can make a real difference after military service.

What I appreciate about Cassie is that she doesn't just talk about helping veterans. She's spent years building programs that actually do it.

The uniform eventually comes off for all of us.

The question becomes: what's next?

I think this conversation offers some good answers for veterans, military families, and anyone who wants to see veterans succeed long after their service ends.

Over the years, I've met a lot of veterans who have been through things most people can't even imagine.

What always amazes me isn't what happened to them.

It's what they did afterward.

In this episode, I sat down with Marine veteran Larry, who survived an IED blast in Afghanistan that changed his life forever.

We talked about service, loss, recovery, and the long road that comes after a traumatic injury.

What stuck with me was his mindset. Even after everything he went through, he found a way to keep moving forward.

That's not something you learn from a book.

That's the kind of perspective that only comes from living it.

I think every veteran has a story worth hearing. Larry's is one of those stories that reminds us what resilience really looks like.

I hope you'll take some time to listen to this one.
