212: Getting Out of Your Own Way, Seeking Mentorship, and Career Advice with Eric Brew
Description
One of the most consistent things we hear from veterans at AVN is "I am in my own way", but it becomes a blanket statement over a deep wound when you don't know what that means or how to overcome it. In this episode, Eric Brew (Manager of Military Engagement at American Corporate Partners) and retired Army 1stSgt shares his transition struggles, what it means to get in your own way when pursuing success post-military, and how to leverage mentors to guide you along the process to becoming who you want to be post-military.
