Description

Hello everyone, welcome to Episode #24 of the “Spotlight Podcast: Success Stories for Veterans” where it is our job to breakdown and analyze Titans in both the military and civilian communities to discover their tactics, mindset, and systems so that you can apply them to your life, and your transition. Those titans range from NYT best-selling authors to former heads of state, to other divergent thinkers who dominate their field by challenging conventional wisdom.

Today we are interviewing Brad Scardino.

Brad got his start as a crew-chief of the mighty CH-53.  After getting out Brad pursued a number of different paths and ultimately decided to pursue a career in engineering. Now Brad works with Flux to help veterans do the same. If you have ever wanted to pursue a career outside your comfort zone then this is the episode for you.

So how does Brad do it? Listen and find out.
