Educated Veteran is a Podcast Series where I discuss and think out loud in my car about issues and questions Veterans are curious about. We all take off the uniform for the last time at some point in our life. But that doesn't mean our life is over.  We have to pick up and carry on. Some do this as an entrepreneur working for themselves, others do it in the corporate environment.

Regardless of how you turn the page or what the next chapter in your life looks like we all have one thing in common... We all want to be successful at whatever it is we find ourselves doing. Educated Veteran helps you do just that.

Educated Veteran... Helping you be just as successful out of uniform as you were when you were in.

Jeff is happy to have to Change Your POV Network co-founder Eddie Lazzari back on. Jeff & Eddie talk about veteran suicide, upcoming events and shows, and the overall state of the podcast network as we continue our drive in 2018.

Thomas Ayala Ph.D. is a skilled organizational advisor, counselor, and change agent. He is adept and comfortable in the role of organizational consultant, yet contrasts that role with management of an outpatient mental health clinic.  A diverse and talented individual, Tom possesses influential knowledge and notable interest in the field of psychology. When people invest in someone to help them navigate the challenges and toils of leadership development and organizational culture they desire a bonafide expert who can apply known theories and a successful experiential track record. Most people spend a third of their adult lives at work. Between the pressures of daily living and stress (oftentimes dysfunctional). Work defines people in the most basic way, which is one reason retirement is so difficult for many people. Other key business psychology interests include matching people and jobs, finding ways to reduce workplace stress, and studying people's motivation and job satisfaction.

People Solutions' clients receive support from a highly qualified business coach. Small to mid-sized companies of all types have benefitted from increased communication, efficiency, and morale. Each organization has its own unique story, history, and objectives. With the best of intentions, objectives can become stalled for any number of reasons. Fresh objective perspectives and skilled implementation techniques can make the difference, resulting in efficacy-building success and operational goals being met.

In early 2017 Bennett and Eddie decided to release a SECRET Podcast called Daily Dose With Bennett & Eddie. This is a simple show recorded with their cell phones during their morning commute. This unique behind scenes look into their thoughts and lives is something you won't hear during their normal shows on the Change Your POV Podcast Network.

A short episode this week.  We haven't talked about gear for a while, so I decided to talk about a couple of items on my mind: Subscription gear services, especially HuntVault, and my new bow.

In Late November 1950 in North Korea, the 1st Marine Division and Units from the 8th Army became surrounded by the 9th Corp of the Chinese Communist Army. The following 2 weeks would go down as one of the harshest battles in United States Military history. This is the Battle of The Chosin Reservoir.
