I spent time in the military, including an active-duty tour to Iraq in 2005-2006. I know how hard it can be transition from service to civilian life. One of the most challenging things for me was to go from having a clear sense of direction and purpose to not knowing what my next battle was. I know a lot of our nation's warriors feel the same.
Today I talk with my good friend, Phil Randazzo, about his 15-year mission to help our military members successfully transition into civilian life. I believe so much in what he and his organization are doing that I now sit on the board of advisors for American Dream U. Today we talk about why transitioning out of the military is so challenging, what our military members should be doing prior to leaving service, how they can find a new battle to fight, and how we can support our nation's warriors.
SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Why transitioning out of the military is so challenging Why our veterans discount their experience from the military What obligations and responsibilities we have to take care of our warriors How building a new tribe is critical for veterans The best steps to take prior to transitioning from service How to develop a new sense of purpose beyond the military Why suicide rates are so high among veterans and what to do about it How to find a new battle to fight How to harness technology to launch a successful second career Business owners' perspectives on hiring military members What valuable translatable skills military members possess PHIL RANDAZZO Gentlemen, I can't even begin to describe how excited I am to introduce you to my friend Phil Randazzo.
Him and I met about a year ago through some mutual acquaintances and since began working together with his organization, American Dream U.
Phil is an extremely successful business owner working in the financial services industry but more important than that is his 15-year journey to help transition our nation's warriors. I can tell you that this is a man who has his heart in the right place and is genuinely concerned with helping our veterans.
He's been invited to the White House, testified in front of Congress on the behalf of veterans, been given a key to the city of Las Vegas, and commissioned as a member of the Veterans Service Commission. So, needless to say, he's committed to the work and I couldn't be more proud to be part of his organization and call him a friend.
