Podcast! This special episode features Alfredo Torres, a 13-year Navy

veteran and executive assistant at the U.S. Forest Service. Alfredo is

well-known for his vibrant "Paisley Prince" persona and his impactful

virtual community, Alfredo's Coffee House, where veterans come together

Alfredo

veterans to start preparing early, set realistic goals, and track their

progress throughout their transition.
