Navigating into Civilian Life and Veteran Ventures

We talk a lot about the struggles of transitioning out of the military – losing that sense of purpose, the steady paycheck, and the tribe you trust. But what we don’t highlight enough is the flip side: how that transition can be a launchpad to an incredible career or business and a life you design.

In this episode, I’m sitting down with Brendan Aronson, a Marine turned entrepreneur who’s all about creating pathways for veterans into leadership roles. From his time in investment banking to building a company that connects vets with high-growth careers, he’s got a front-row seat to what works and what doesn’t after you hang up the uniform.

We’re covering:

• Top challenges for transitioning service members
• Why venture capital isn’t always the answer for startups
• Networking tips to kickstart your civilian career
• Balancing the veteran community with the wider world

Brendan is a former Marine Infantry Officer. He's a U.S. Naval Academy Graduate and a Wharton MBA Alumnus. He is a serial entrepreneur and built TheMilVet, which is the Nation's premier executive search firm focused on landing veterans jobs in high-growth companies. He's a co-founder and Managing Partner of The Valhalla Group, which invests in U.S. National Security.
