What if transitioning from military service to civilian life could be your gateway to financial success? Discover the hidden challenges and untapped opportunities of this journey as we shine a spotlight on veteran entrepreneurship. We'll navigate the psychological aspects of financial management and share my own experience of paying off substantial debt while serving in the Air Force. Even though our special guest, Army veteran Chris Benson, couldn't join us, we still unpack valuable insights on launching and growing a business as a veteran, reflecting on both triumphs and setbacks to equip you with essential knowledge.
Curious about how tariffs can impact your wallet and the broader economy? We break down the complex subject of tariffs with a real-world example that hits close to home: a threatened 200% tax on John Deere products if manufacturing jobs move to Mexico. We'll explore how tariffs protect local businesses, their potential costs to consumers, and the intricate balance required in global trade agreements. This is your chance to understand how such financial policies can affect not just major companies but also small business owners and everyday consumers.
Transitioning from military service is no small feat, but with the right support, it can open up new avenues for success. We'll highlight invaluable programs like Boots to Business and local veteran business resources that can help you navigate this transition. Personal stories and practical advice on finding mentors, staying adaptable, and avoiding discouragement will arm you with the tools you need for a successful civilian life. Tune in to hear how veterans like Chris Benson are breaking new ground with innovative projects, and learn how you can share your own story on Military Broadcast Radio.
