Alex Quataert, a Ranger qualified West Point graduate, served for over 10 year on active duty as an Infantry Officer, with deployments to Afghanistan as a Platoon Leader, and Syria as a Company Commander.

After his second deployment it was time to find the next venture and Alex left active duty in 2022, with the goal of true independence.

The sheer positivity and unlimited opportunity of Blingle! and the outdoor lighting world made it the perfect fit.

Episode Resources:

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.
