Veteran On the Move

In this episode, Joe welcomes Army Veteran, co-founder, and CEO of Jane Technologies, Socrates Rosenfeld. A West Point graduate, Socrates served for seven years as an Apache Helicopter pilot before embarking on a challenging transition to civilian life. He shares his personal journey, including the unexpected difficulties he faced and the profound impact that cannabis had on his healing process. Like many veterans, Socrates grappled with the void left by the structured environment of the military and the desire to pursue his own passions. Joe and Socrates delve into the entrepreneurial journey and the importance of creating something you love. Jane Technologies, the innovative e-commerce platform Socrates co-founded, now serves 2,500 dispensaries and brands across 39 U.S. states and Canada.

Jane now powers over 2,500 dispensaries and brands across 39 U.S. states and Canada, providing a comprehensive digital platform including e-commerce, ads, market analytics, an iOS app, payments, and POS technologies.

Garret Biss

 

 

About Our Guest   

Garret Biss is a retired Marine Corps Pilot. Post-retirement in 2015, Garret confronted challenges common among veterans: anxiety, depression, and a sense of displacement. Turning to alcohol as a crutch, it wasn't until suicidal ideation took hold that he sought change. Rather than traditional addiction treatments, Garret's path was shaped by mentoring that emphasized self-worth, rediscovering identity, and tapping into inherent strengths. This approach not only alleviated his addictive behaviors but also reignited his passion for life.

This started Garret's journey into studying applied positive psychology and the science of human flourishing. Garret's transformative experience sparked his commitment to assisting others with personal growth and recovery tools grounded in positivity and personal strengths.

Garret's purpose now extends beyond helping Veterans emerge from the darkness; his aim is to propel Veterans to their highest potential for happiness, well-being, success, and contribution.

This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. I’ve been to therapy a few times over the years when dealing with tragedies in my life and the Marine Corps and the thing therapy helped me realize immediately is that the things that were bothering me were perfectly normal for them to bother me.  Once I realized that, it made everything much easier to deal with. Now we all know that being in the military is pretty much a traumatic experience in and of itself, but I want to make sure you understand this point, therapy isn’t just for those who’ve experienced major trauma. Therapy is helpful for learning positive coping skills and how to set boundaries; it empowers you to be the best version of yourself.

Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/VOTM and get on your way to being your best self.
