6ers, the transition challenges, and the ease of re-entry into the civilian workforce are growing issues faced by military veterans. Career change is already tough enough for life after service and the reality is, that there are other variables to consider that are just as important as giving them a job. To honor the military community is to ensure we respect their experience, recognize their skills, and give them a new sense of mission.

This week, Tony Nash is joined by Matt Stevens, a US Navy veteran, and the CEO of The Honor Foundation. He is passionate about helping special operations veterans transition into civilian careers. Matt Stevens graduated from the Naval Academy with an Ocean Engineering degree in 1991. He served in different units - Naval Warfare, Seal Team, Joint Special Operations, and Special Operations - until his retirement in 2017.

You will learn about how private organizations are helping veterans with their career transition journey and hear about some of the principles and actionable methods they teach in their programs, including how to overcome your fears as an introvert to grow your network, which you can implement on your own so you can create more opportunities for you.

As a result, you’ll be able to acknowledge that accepting the connective tissue of where you came from to where you’re going is all part of knowing who you are. You will also gain new insights and better confidence in how to face one of the biggest challenges you’ll face after your military service: finding the right career path and pursuing a fulfilled and satisfying life.
