Matt Eversmann is a retired Army ranger whose 20-plus year career took him to some of the world's hardest places. In 1993, Matt was serving with Task Force Ranger in Operation Gothic Serpent when his unit fought one of the bloodiest gun battles the U.S. Army had seen since Vietnam. By the time it was over, 18 U.S. soldiers were dead and another 80 wounded. For the record though, the Rangers gave more than they got. According to one source, the Somali militia whose leaders were the target of the raid sustained at least 315 dead and 812 wounded. It was a pivotal moment for the U.S. military that was later captured in the movie Black Hawk Down.Matt deployed once again in 2006 as part of the surge of forces into Iraq and saw combat in a different form. Since retiring in 2008, he has dedicated his life to helping veterans and their employers understand the transition process that soldiers go through when leaving the service.Whether it was taking care of soldiers in the heat of a gunfight, or managing his small business, Matt Eversmann knows more than most how important agility is to to leaders and entrepreneurs.  I spoke with him to learn more about his history, and how he has had to adjust to changing situations both in combat, and in the civilian world.
