Update: 2021-03-17

Description

Adam Braatz joined the Air Force to play the piano. A professional trained musician, he was among the few that audition and selected for the Air Force band. That experience took him around the world – before transitioning to a Military Training Instructor (MTI).

Today he serves as Vice President, Communications & Programming at the Wisconsin Veterans Chamber of Commerce. There he works with an “ecosystem” of partners that build networks, programs and connections to foster business opportunity for veterans.

Having worked with many veterans and the organization that hires them, he shares some tips for veterans in transition on this episode.
