Choosing a career in the military can be highly rewarding. Not only does it bring fulfillment and pride in knowing that you have served your country, but it also provides a great deal of financial advantages. Unfortunately, many veterans and active duty service members fail to maximize these benefits, thus losing out on some perks to their careers and slowing down their financial advancement.

The keys to setting yourself up for success:

Reach out to people who are successful in what they're doing and make connections along the way.

Treat people the way you'd want to be treated and direct them to the people that you trust.

Position yourself to have the opportunity.

In today’s episode of the Expertish Podcast, Jay welcomes Ryan Breznik for the second time and talks about more opportunities offered by the military. Having been presented with the opportunity to further his education, Ryan will share how the military and non-profit organizations provide academic scholarships to active-duty service members, veterans, and their families. He will also discuss how to make the most of your military career financially and from an investment standpoint.

Enjoy!
