We need to dispel the myths about veterans; they are not just robots but individuals with diverse skills and emotional intelligence, capable of contributing significantly in civilian roles.

I transitioned out of the military while still active, which was a challenging decision, but in retrospect, it led to creating a valuable organization for veterans.

Hiring veterans requires understanding their leadership skills and discipline, which can often outweigh their technical skills, allowing for leniency in their qualifications.

The military does a great job of training individuals for their roles, but it fails to prepare them for transitioning into civilian jobs, often outsourcing this process to the Department of Labor.

Transitioning from military service to entrepreneurship can be done at any point in your career, but experiences in companies like Palantir can provide valuable insights.

There are common threads of initiative and drive across military service, finance, and startup experiences that contribute to success.

There's dignity in all work, and there's always opportunity for those who work hard and act like owners, regardless of their job.

It's crucial to be a doer rather than just a talker in your career. Many people hesitate to commit fully to projects due to fear of failure, which can hinder their success. History favors those who take action.

Reflecting on our journey, I emphasize that perseverance is crucial; every experience is a building block towards success, and pacing yourself is key to not quitting too early.
