I got out of uniform, and didn’t know what would fit next.

Most saw the Trident, but I didn’t want to lean on it.

Through asymmetric networking I landed incredible mentors.

Here’s how I found mentors who flung doors open for me: When I was finding my way I sought advice from those I saw myself emulating.
- A self-made billionaire
- A hedge fund manager
- A former CIA operative
- A Fortune 100 COO

And others who led companies, teams, movements, and lives I aspired to.

Here's what worked for me:

2 years ago, I left the military after 10 years.

I got an MBA, tried out a few jobs, and learned hard lessons about transition.

Here’s what I wish I knew when I left one “industry” for another: Conflicts were dying down and the focus on success was missing the mark. I believed I could have a greater impact out of uniform, I had no idea if going to war and leading teams would translate to the private sector.
