Description

Fewer veterans are running for office, and Jason Dozier, an Atlanta city councilman and former Army officer, says that needs to change. On Warrior Money, Dozier opens up about the culture shock of moving from military service to public office and why so many vets struggle to find purpose after a uniformed life. He highlights programs that help veterans translate their skills into civilian leadership and shares his playbook for those looking to step into politics.


Yahoo Finance's Warrior Money, hosted by former Congressman Patrick Murphy and veteran investor Dan Kunze, is dedicated to uplifting the financial well-being of military veterans transitioning into civilian life. Each week, an array of guests—from everyday vets to high-ranking government officials—offer insight on successfully making the leap from service to business.
