On Your Lead

After pressing stop on the previous interview with Jeremy we jumped into a conversation about his transition out of them military.  It was powerful for me to hear it and I asked him if we could press record again to capture his thoughts about getting out.  I think the dark time that he shares is relatable for a lot of vets.  This is also a call to action for people like me to reach out sooner to people that we know that may be struggling we something we are unaware of.

First you build your habits, then your habits build you.  We unpack this concept and compare it boot camp and Indiana Jones.

In this after action we take a dive into Jeremy’s use of the 20 meter scan and the 5 meter study.  Then we set forth some action items of what to do next with it.

I also challenged each of you, if you have a concept in the military that you now use to better your civilian life, please drop me a message.  I would love to connect to hear more of this concept, what it is and how you use it in the civilian world.  Please send me an email and let me know.

A lesson learned from Brits over in Iraq for sweeping for IED's and potential dangers is shared with us from Jeremy Dodson.  Jeremy did the initial invasion of Iraq with 1st Recon and now uses this same technique for motivating himself and his kids to achieve their goals.

This after action has been past due.  Part of the delay was I spent some time dialing in questions with family and friends, checking in to see if they ever had something they wanted to know but didn’t ask.  This research is still on going yet I wanted to get this out.  My original thought was having it be about this topic, where she mentioned not knowing what to ask her husband after a deployment.  The 3rd time listening to it though a new aha hit me.  Her comment about uncertainty was very similar to Rod Hairston’s mention of the same thing.  This coloration between two people that don’t know each other needed to be discussed.

I had several aha's inside of this interview with Jay.  When I unpack them in an After Action my hope is to grab one that I hope can be a new one that maybe you missed.  In reflection of this interview I found myself fascinated with connecting the messaging from Jay in this past interview and Rod from the previous interview.  The roles and messaging they both shared were parallel and I wanted to make sure you all caught the connection.  Which to me shows how important both of their messages are.

If we don't have the difficult convo about veteran suicides, who will?

Last week a friend of mine mentioned a veteran suicide that took place right after this vet was around a large group of vets.  This is hit me and I took some time to reflect on it and it brought me back to this one thought that I have felt for awhile now and wanted to share.

I do believe this is one of the best ways you can help vets in our community, today.

One of the best days of my military career was when an older Sgt. swooped in and took me under his wing, he made me feel like I was part of the team at my unit.  Yet this is the opposite of what I see us as veterans do.  The other day I saw some comments in a thread about vets and I wanted to share this experience to hopefully help pass this idea along.  Differences Divide Us, Similarities Strengthen Us.

In this after action we unpack and uncover some of the key take aways from Rod E. Hairstons interview in the previous episode.  I chose to unpack the comments he made about uncertainty and what it looks like as a civilian.  But first we have to deep dive into the 6 human needs which we will do first.  If you didn't check out the interview go check it out right after this one.  You don't want to miss Rod.
