On this episode of Veteran On the Move, Joe is joined by retired Marine Corps Pilot Garret Biss. After experiencing the difficulty of his own transition, Garret is now dedicated to helping his fellow Veterans. Episode Resources: Garret Biss About Our Guest Garret Biss is a retired Marine Corps Pilot. Post-retirement in 2015, Garret confronted challenges common among veterans: anxiety, depression, and a sense of displacement.

Rather than traditional addiction treatments, Garret's path was shaped by mentoring that emphasized self-worth, rediscovering identity, and tapping into inherent strengths. This approach not only alleviated his addictive behaviors but also reignited his passion for life. This started Garret's journey into studying applied positive psychology and the science of human flourishing. Garret's transformative experience sparked his commitment to assisting others with personal growth and recovery tools grounded in positivity and personal strengths. Garret's purpose now extends beyond helping Veterans emerge from the darkness; his aim is to propel Veterans to their highest potential for happiness, well-being, success, and contribution.

However, his growing family was starting to outpace his income, sparking Randy's interest in entrepreneurship to increase his earning potential. Like many aspiring entrepreneurs, he'd become motivated by reading various business books, only to realize he didn't know how to apply the business theory that he'd just learned. His lack of actionable knowledge became apparent during his first startup attempt. Join the conversation on Facebook!

Published on: May 10, 2021The Commissioned Officers Guide
Today we’re speaking with soon-to-be Navy Veteran Jarrod H Smith, author of The Commissioned Officers Guide. Jarrod is currently in the middle of his transition from the Navy and spoke about his Naval Career. He also speaks about how COVID helped him realize what he wanted his transition to the civilian world to be like. These realizations are why Jarrod is working to dent the universe by turning the traditional approach to the Military Family "Transition" on its head.

Download Here ---> https://bit.ly/31xfz8S About Our Guest Jarrod's grooming for this Mission began about nine years ago, during his MBA program in Monterey, CA. During his most recent academic experience in the ivory tower at National Defense University's Dwight D. Eisenhower School for National Security & Resource Strategy, he realized the questions we ask with carefully chosen words matters most, and he asked himself: Are we doing transition right? The hour he spent thinking and reflecting was prompted by the 22-day pushup challenge on Facebook, Memorial Day 2020, because frankly, we're not moving the planet with those (I did it myself). Having fought through mental health challenges, resulting from physical ailments, over the previous 3 years, he decided to begin assembling forces to give transitioning servicemembers a fighting chance. As a Son of God, Brother in Christ, Husband in the Church, and Father of 4 on Earth with their geriatric Lhasa Apso and an 80-lb puppy Mastador friend, Jarrod attained the rank of Commander (O5 paygrade) in the U.S. Navy with experiences in the submarine force, naval aviation, naval expeditionary, operational planning, information systems, and multiple deployments around the globe, he's uniquely situated with the Imagination, Knowledge, and Experience (#IKE) to lead as IKE did during WWII, and provide the necessary planning guidance and structure to military families in preparation for their inevitable transition back into society. The lack of intentional, informed planning with financial literacy, money aptitude, whole health management throughout service time and lacking the "Why?" for self beyond the rank, weapons platform, and service branch are the smoking guns causing "Military Transition" to be so hard. It's not about the military, but about the Servicemember's and their Family's Liberty Day, to allow for Total Freedom during service, and far beyond it. Join the conversation on our Facebook!

Published on: February 1, 2021Matt Koerner Music with Matt Koerner
Today we’re speaking with singer and songwriter, Matt Koerner. Matt speaks about growing up in Southern California and how his family actually pushed him to make the move to Nashville to pursue his passion for country music. Matt speaks about the highs and lows of being a musician in Nashville and what that really looks like for him. He also tells us all about his latest single, “Stayed Alive in 45” which comes from a personal story his Grandfather shared with him about his experience in World War II. Matt goes in depth about how being a musician is running your own business and what he’s learned through his experience with entrepreneurship. Are you a Veteran who is transitioning to Entrepreneurship? Then check out this FREE download for the Top 29 Entrepreneurship Programs for Veterans & their families! Download Here ---> https://bit.ly/31xfz8S About Our Guest Matt Koerner is a singer-songwriter with substance and depth. He makes the most out of life, its lessons, and every opportunity that comes his way. Matt learned to do this as a young child when he was growing up in a loving, close-knit family in California who was supportive of anything he endeavored to accomplish. Matts burning ambition, and sense of maturity, were further stoked during his school years as an athlete through the discipline he learned from practice and competition. Those lessons have definitely come into play as Matt launches his budding career in country music and releases his new single, "Stayed Alive in 45," a song which comes from a very personal place that he wrote about his grandfather, Carl Joseph Turner, who at eighteen years of age fought in WWII. The catchy mid-tempo song crafted with a powerful message, and equally powerful vocals and production, was produced by Zach Swon (The Swon Brothers). Not only is it a tribute to his late grandfather, but also a tribute to all of the men and women who have fought for our country and freedom. As we prepare to observe Veterans Day, Stayed Alive in 45 is centered on a tender conversation between a young Matt and his grandfather recounting his time served in WWII. I always asked him about his experience in WWII and it was something he didn't want to talk about but I was really young and I didn't understand why he didn't want to talk about it, so I kept asking. One day, Grandpa sat me down at his dinner table and talked to me for 3 hours about his experience and it is something I will never forget. I wanted to write a song about one of the many stories he shared with me that day, about the time when he was 18 years old and sent over to Germany to fight, added Matt. The song came to Matt one night out of the blue and reflects this unforgettable conversation, and his deep and vulnerable side as well, as the gifted storyteller and family man that he is.

Even if you're the greatest UFC fighter on the planet, they still get punched in the face and they don't freak out when they get punched in the face. They don't cry when they get punched in the face. They don't walk out of the ring. That is part of the job description.” “I don't recommend putting yourself in a situation like getting out of the military if you haven't even started your side hustle yet or without getting a job. You need seed money and a primary source of income while you are working your side hustle because there's no pain like financial pain.” “Failure is not an event. It's a lesson, it’s a tool.

Now that you're grown up and gotten out of the military.” “I think the biggest lesson is just do you want to pay the taxes now or do you want to pay the taxes later?” “The most profitable section of travel is Group Travel.” “The Google app that says 85% of all travel is planned and purchased by women.” “I began to realize the need for an exit strategy. I started asking myself. What do I enjoy; what do I love and why would I do it for free even. I love to travel so it became a very clear answer to me that this is a place that I can monetize.” “If you're not passionate about it, you probably don't have the discipline or the motivation to continue doing it when you're not getting paid.” “My first recommendation is to find something you're passionate about and look at the time requirements. You fit it in what you're doing because you're going to have to work extra hours and you know entrepreneurialism is a tough road to start with.” “You know I think college is important but it's really not the most important thing.” About Our Guest John Renken John is a single father of 4 wonderful kids and a retired MMA Fighter who spent the last 30 years fighting and training soldiers in Hand to Hand Combat.
