General Wesley K. Clark served as the Supreme Allied Commander Europe for NATO, ran for president in the 2004 Democratic primary, and received the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He now serves as Founder and Chairman of investment bank Enverra, and CEO of strategic consulting firm Wesley K. Clark & Associates. Clark joins Warrior Money to talk leadership lessons he learned while serving in Vietnam, why political public service roles lack veterans, and his experience on the presidential campaign trail.

Yahoo Finance's Warrior Money, hosted by former Congressman Patrick Murphy and veteran investor Dan Kunze, is dedicated to uplifting the financial well-being of military veterans transitioning into civilian life. Each week, an array of guests—from everyday vets to high-ranking government officials—offer insight on successfully making the leap from service to business.
