In this episode, Zack Miller, founder and CEO of Patriot Growth Capital, breaks down why entrepreneurship is one of the most powerful paths back to purpose after the military. Raised by two Marines and surrounded by service his entire life, Zack shares how he walked away from corporate America to help veterans become business owners instead of employees.

We talk identity loss, risk, money, network, and why owning cash-flowing businesses creates real freedom after service. This is a no-fluff conversation about building generational wealth, teaching veterans how to fish, and reclaiming control after the uniform comes off.
