From Air Force Broadcaster to Community Relations: Programs That Build Real Connection


Listen Later

What happens when you leave college, join the Air Force, go back to school, and end up running military programs for a Major League Baseball team? Sean Hudson's journey to becoming the Washington Nationals' Director of Military Affairs is refreshingly honest about what career transitions actually require.

Sean joined the military after admitting warehouse work in New Jersey couldn't be worse than his current situation. His recruiter connected him with Air Force public affairs despite Sean spending the entire meeting saying he didn't want to be a cop. That role documenting events across Europe became the foundation for everything that followed.

What You'll Learn:

  • Why expecting a reduction in title and pay may be critical for successful transitions
  • How networking actually works
  • The difference between performative military recognition and authentic community building
  • How to measure community relations impact beyond ticket sales
