  • #15 - What Type of Veteran Are You? Stop Living the Stereotype.

    In this episode, we challenge the notion that veterans must fit a certain mold.

    We're discussing the freedom in breaking from the 'veteran' stereotype and the importance of being true to yourself.

    It's about recognizing you can have a life, friends, and interests outside the military identity.

    This talk is a reminder that you don't have to live up to any predefined type of veteran.

    Giving yourself permission to be authentic is not just freeing—it's essential for personal growth. If you're tired of feeling boxed in by veteran stereotypes, join us as we embrace the power of individuality.

    This is the VetRise Podcast w/ Juan Perez, hosted by Marine Corps Scout Sniper Veteran, founder, owner, public speaker, and content creator Juan Perez.

    On this podcast, our goal is to make success after service accessible to every veteran.

    You'll learn about the many failures and lessons Juan has learned on his path from service to society.
