ALL ABOUT VETERAN TRANSITION, EMPLOYMENT AND HIRING PROGRAMS
With Matt Louis, a retired officer, US Army Active Duty and Reserve 1991 to 2012: ”On average, today's transitioning veterans will be unemployed for 22 weeks before they find a job. And when they do, they are simply looking to replace a revenue source. They'll take a job to get any job – and it is usually not the right one. They’ll rotate out of that job within the first year and a half, and they'll continue to job hop and job hop and job hop. So much so that by their sixth post-military job, half of transitioning veterans are still not in their optimal career field.”

Join a fascinating conversation with Matt Lewis, a leading expert in veteran career transitions. In this episode, we delve into Matt's transformative journey from military service to authoring best-selling books like Mission Transition and Hiring Veterans, and everything in between. Discover how his past work at Purepost® offers veterans (and civilians) an online method to identify one’s skills and competencies, which are then matched instantly to any job opening in the U.S. economy for which they fit. Matt also sheds light on the importance of addressing the current civil-military divide and how this impacts future generations. Whether you're a veteran, an employer, or just someone interested in career development, this episode is packed with valuable insights.

BUILDING A CAREER AS A SPEECH-LANGUAGE PATHOLOGIST
Guest Suzie Harder: “One of the many wonderful things about working as a speech-language pathologist is that you can structure the work that you do based on your circumstances at any turning point of your life. The setting you work in, the kinds of clients your work with, the specific modalities that you offer, can all be created by you. But whatever the structure of my work, I really love my one-on-one time with kids. There’s something beautiful that happens in those moments when I am able to use my passion and expertise to help kids that stutter become happy, healthy, effective communicators and help families better understand how to best support their loved one who stutters.”

Susie Harder, M.A., CCC-SLP is an experienced, licensed speech-language pathologist and Director of Central Valley Stuttering Center in Clovis, CA. She devotes much of her passion to working with children who stutter. She works in private practice and with schools to help support children and provides workshops and consulting-based support to families and school districts. She is also the founder and CEO of Authorable, a program that turns third through sixth graders into authors, creators, and leaders through real book-making experiences.

EQUIPPED TO MEET LIFE'S CHALLENGES

Sixty-eight years ago, Spann Cordle's parents made a decision that was ahead of their time. They chose to treat Spann as any other child and equip him to face life's challenges. Born with a disability, he went to elementary school riding a tricycle to strengthen his legs, learned to swim, took driver's ed in high school, and was on the drama team. After being a state probation officer for several years, in 2007 he became a full-time employee at Walmart in northwest Georgia. He has found it to be an excellent opportunity to spread disability awareness by demonstrating his workplace dedication and winning attitude day after day. Walmart has recognized his contributions by making him their spokesperson at other Walmart locations across the country. Walmart customers stop to talk with him and tell him that he always provides them with encouragement. Spann strives to do the same for all of the disabled community.

“What I’d love to do is public speaking. Sure I’ve been a spokesman. Sure I’ve made inroads. But I want to get on-stage. I want to travel. I want to speak. I want to show people that if you are determined and you persevere, there is nothing you cannot do–whether you are disabled or able-bodied. It is a mindset. A lot of individuals who are disabled don’t have the opportunity to express themselves. I would like to show them how to do it!”

MAKE A DIFFERENCE EVERY DAY
Podcast guest Scott Robison, Founder of Camp Cowboy and Lieutenent Colonel (retired)

“I am a Special Forces veteran, with 23 years of active federal service. When I retired, I decided that I wanted to do something for others who struggle with issues from military and public service. I founded Camp Cowboy to be a safe haven where people know they belong and are part of a family."

Scott, a retired U.S. Army Special Forces veteran with 23 years of service, is a founding partner of Kingswood Defense Group and Cadet Holdings and the founder of Camp Cowboy, a nonprofit supporting veterans with the use of equine therapy.

Scott specializes in consulting for military and commercial sectors, leveraging deep expertise in emerging technologies and defense strategy, and managing rapid acquisition initiatives.

When he retired from the Army, he decided that he wanted to do something for those who struggle with issues from military and public service. That resulted in creating Camp Cowboy in Kemper, Texas. It is operated by veterans to provide FREE Equine Assisted Growth Programs to Service members, Veterans, First Responders, Family members and Gold Star Family members. Through equine-based experience, education, and knowledge, they help participants navigate and overcome stressors and a vast multitude of “life’s scars,” allowing for a reconnected, well-balanced life change for those in need.

His military career highlights include leading the Special Weapons Testing Task Force at Fort Cavazos and overseeing over 300 major defense acquisition programs. He has also led counterterrorism efforts in Iraq and counter-drug operations with federal agencies.

Robison holds degrees from the New Mexico Military Institute and University of Colorado and certifications from Defense Acquisitions University.
