As a military veteran or first responder, you need to be planning and implementing strategies to prepare for your transition into civilian life. Join me in this episode of the Transition Drill Podcast, as I sit down with Eric Johnson, a former Navy officer and the CEO of Trident Coffee. Eric shares his journey from growing up in San Diego, attending the Naval Academy wanting to be a pilot, pivoting after a medical diagnosis prevented him from being a pilot and serving in the Navy Civil Engineer Corps, to his decision to leave the military and pursue entrepreneurship. Eric got out of the military in 2016 at the rank of Lieutenant. He discusses his military career, including multiple deployments, and how these experiences shaped his transition to civilian life. Eric's story is one of resilience and innovation, detailing his mission to revolutionize the coffee industry with Trident Coffee. Through his unique cold brew concepts, focused on health and wellness, Eric is creating a community-centered brand that resonates deeply with veterans and first responders. Don't miss this inspiring episode packed with insights, leadership lessons, and the power of perseverance.
