In this episode of the Vets2PM Military Transition Academy Podcast, Misty talks with Mike about how he used AF COOL, SkillBridge, and his PMP® certification to build a strong foundation before leaving the service. Today, he leads a Project Management Office and manages a team of project managers.

They discuss how preparation, mentorship, and mindset can make all the difference when moving from military life to civilian leadership.

• The value of DoD SkillBridge and how to make the most of it
• How to start preparing for your next career while you’re still serving
• Why finding a civilian mentor can speed up your transition
• What it takes to stand out and succeed in the civilian sector

Mike’s story is a great reminder that your experience already gave you the skills to lead. You just need the right plan and people around you to turn it into a career that fits.
