113: The Millennial Veteran with Jenna Carlton

"Start messy, start unprepared, because life is short. Don't overthink it just do it."
One of the main issues with millennial veterans is lack of community that leads to isolation. Knowing this, Jenna, a Navy Veteran turned content creator and host of Vet Chats on Instagram, started a community specifically for millennial veterans. She became part of a local legion where she noticed she was the youngest in the area and wanted a way to connect with others around the same age as her.

Dave Morrow was in the Canadian Army Reserves, deployed with US and Coalition Forces to Afghanistan during his time.

085: Conclave of Warriors with Rafa Conde

In December 2018, I attended the first annual Conclave of Warriors event in Miami, Florida. This event included the top businessmen and military leaders today, gathered together by former Wall Street Stockbroker turned Law Enforcement Officer, Rafa Conde. During his time as a Police Officer, he noticed a disturbing trend of men who lacked confidence, courage, and discipline which led him to create the Man of War Podcast. Recording might be from couple years ago, but the message still rings true today.

076: 7 Figure Marketer while serving in the Military with Greg Potapenko

This week, I talked to a Canadian Army Veteran who also took his marketing company to 7 figures in two years while serving Military! I first met Greg at a 10x Conference in Miami, Fl back in 2019, through another veteran we both knew. Greg shares his early years starting an online business creating websites, lead generation as a teenager. Going from that to University earning a Financing Degree, to joining the Army. He started his side hustle again while serving, then went all in on online marketing after seeing how he was able to financially provide and support his family with the income he was making.
You'll learn how Greg's time in service helped him physically handle the stress as a solo entrepreneur, how he was able to hire a team to support his business and where he found them, and how you can have a successful online business by providing three things such as: a service, affiliate marketing, e-commerce store.
