In this episode we hear overlapping stories from two veterans who take us through the preparations of becoming a soldier, the experience of being in combat, and the challenges of returning to civilian life. Drew Bouwma shares how he became the first casualty in his entire brigade while deployed in Mosul, Iraq and how he got through the long recovery process with his sense of humor intact. Saul Newton shares how the void he felt returning from the military and the lack of business resources available led him to start a business that didn’t exist anywhere in the country. Find out how training and procedures can prepare you for the worst and how to build a business around customer needs.
