In this episode, Lauren Kordzik sits down with Cameron-Brooks alum George Pesansky to discuss what his 30 years of hiring and building teams taught him about JMOs, and why the best companies keep coming back to hire these great leaders. George Pesansky came through Cameron-Brooks in 1996 as an Army officer. He didn’t know exactly what was next. He just knew he was ready for something new. Thirty years later, he’s built a company, hired JMOs, and coached leaders inside some of the most complex manufacturing operations in the world. He wrote a book about it. And he still comes back to the same idea when someone asks what separates good leaders from great ones. We Before Me We before me. It sounds simple. But George will tell you, it’s actually rare. Most organizations, at some point, start optimizing for individuals. Career paths, visibility, personal outcomes. It’s subtle. But over time, it shapes how decisions get made and how teams show up. JMOs come from a different culture entirely. The mission is the priority. The team is what matters. Candor isn’t a personality trait; it’s expected. That doesn’t disappear when someone transitions out of the military. It comes with them. George also pushes back on one of the most common reasons companies hesitate to hire JMOs: they don’t have industry experience. His take? There’s a difference between knowledge and skill. Knowledge (a product, a process, a system) can be learned in weeks. Skill (real leadership, the ability to drive results through people, the discipline to do the hard thing) takes years to build. JMOs already have it. Hiring managers sometimes get those two things mixed up. When you get that hiring decision right, the return isn’t just one good hire. It’s a stronger team. Fewer people walking out the door. A culture people want to stay in. George saw it firsthand. And he’s watched it play out over and over again in the organizations he’s worked with since. Work with Cameron-Brooks If you’re looking to hire a JMO for your team, we would love to connect. Feel free to contact us to learn more about attending a Cameron-Brooks Hiring Conference. Or feel free to email Lauren Kordzik at lkordzik@cameron-brooks.com. For any JMOs thinking the transition? We’re here to help.

It’s a tale as old as time. You launch your Zoom interview, you’re looking sharp, and you see the hiring mangers on the screen in front of you. And after some brief small talk, the interviewer looks at you and asks, “So, tell me about yourself.” This deceptively simple question can be a make or break to your interview. It sets the tone and helps build that first impression. So, where do you start? Do you share everything about your background? Should I start with childhood? Just focus on your military accomplishments? Encore of Episode 87: Tell Me About Yourself In this podcast, Joel Junker shares his insight on how to answer this very important interview question: “Tell Me About Yourself.” For this podcast episode, we are doing an encore series where we release original episodes of the PCS to Corporate America podcast to bring them to our new audience. And this episode, just happens to be the most listened to episode in the podcast’s history. IMPORTANT NOTE: This podcast episode was launched December 30, 2019, pre-pandemic. While the nature of interview and the Cameron-Brooks conferences have changed (read: Zoom for first interviews, instead of in-person), the essence of this interview answer framework stays the same. Why is this important? If you were ever going to rank people who give interview advice, Joel should be at the very top of your list. Not only did he transition as a JMO and have an outstanding Career Conference, but he also has over 26 years of experience helping literally thousands of military officers transition to Corporate America. As Career Conference interviews continue to trend toward being more conversational in nature, this podcast will help you develop an effective response when a hiring manager presents you with the interview question “Tell me about yourself.” We dive into why the question is important, the component parts of the answer, tailoring the answer to be specific to different career fields and some do’s and don’ts. Want more specific advice? Sign up for a free coaching call with Joel himself. Our archived blog posts are chocked full of other interview advice.

We are back with a fresh, jam-packed edition of The Nielson Show on Edmonton Sports Talk, but the studio looks a little different today! With Lieutenant Eric away, the one and only Tom Gazzola steps into the co-host chair alongside Dustin Nielson (Jmo).   It's been a hot minute since Tommy and Jmo shared the airwaves together, so the fellas have plenty of catching up to do after a wild, historic Monday in the sports world.   The first segment we hit on today's show was Morning Announcements for Haddies Golf Shop to recap all the action from last night in the sports world.   When we returned from the break, we quickly touched on the resurgence of Taylor Hall and touched on the career that he's had. Which then brought us to YouTube Trev's trade of the day. Another swing and a miss from the young buck.   We capped off hour with by getting Fired Up for Gemco Fireplaces. In this segment, Tommy read some texts from nasties that were fired up about YouTube Trev's trade of the day.

The fellas are back with another jam-packed edition of The Nielson Show!  To kick off the morning, Jmo and Lt.

Both Lt. Eric and YouTube Trev gave some love to Jared and Richy from MDRN Measure, as they most certainly hooked the boys up with some wicked suits!   We then got into Morning Announcements for The Rundle Park Short Course to recap all that transpired last night and over the weekend.   After the break, it was time for YouTube Trev's trade of the day. Another miss from the youngster again. Will he ever bounce back?   To cap off hour one, we gave our good, and ugly from the weekend.

Inside Allen Park: What Voluntary Workouts Really Are One week after the 2026 NFL Draft, Allen Park is busy. The Detroit Lions are in the voluntary phase of the offseason workout program. Photos show players in the building. Gibbs is there. Branch is there. Tarion is there. It's not practice. Not yet. Players are in meetings. They lift. They run. Injured players rehab with staff. Coaches sit in on meetings but do not coach on-field actions. That comes later. OTAs and a Firm Mini Camp on the Calendar The NFL calendar is set. The Lions released their OTA dates. They start later in May. There are three three-day periods. The mandatory mini camp lands around Father's Day weekend. That's the first time the entire team is required to attend. A holdout can happen, but it's rare. Last year was different. The Lions canceled mandatory mini camp because they were preparing for the Hall of Fame Game. In hindsight, that move did not help. There's no sign they will cancel it this year. Rookie Minicamp Canceled, What Changes for Newcomers The team canceled rookie minicamp. So what happens now? The rookie draft class and signed undrafted free agents will still be in the building. Contract signings are expected this weekend. The official UDFA list is likely to post today. New players will get orientation. Lockers. Food. Training rooms. Where to be and when. They also plug into parts of the offseason program tailored to rookies. They will attend the NFL PA rookie seminar. The message is direct. Do not gamble on sports. Do not gamble in the team hotel or lobby. Even if it's not football. Go across the street if you must. The J Mo situation still hangs over that topic. He got six games. The rules are the rules, even if they feel contradictory. There is a cost to scrapping the rookie minicamp. No invitee local players this year. That's where Natelyn once showed up and made noise. Ian Kennelly from Grand Valley State did the same last year and earned real preseason run. Those football reps matter for long shots. Agents notice. They are disappointed. So are some of us who value those looks. A Younger, Healthier Push by Detroit The Lions are changing things. What worked got them to a point. It felt like they plateaued. So they are pushing different buttons. Younger. Healthier. That theme runs through free agency and the draft. Tomorrow's guest on the Detroit Lions Podcast underscores it. This is a conscious shift by Brad Holmes and his staff. The same old approach wasn't enough. Detroit is trying to clear the hump, and the plan is clear. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #nfl #allenpark #offseasonworkoutprogram #otas #mandatoryminicamp #rookieminicampcanceled #undraftedfreeagents #rookieseminar #nflpa #strengthandconditioning #alexanzalone #gibbs #branch #tarion Learn more about your ad choices.

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to hear such podcasts. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is whether to twist and ka-chunk the cruciform keys given to us." That's right baby, we're back! In an episode they're calling "severely delayed by illness, auditions and the Olympics" we're opening up the doors to the vault and inducting Peter Jackson's 2001 classic The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring into the podcast canon, fresh on the heels of its 25th anniversary theatrical re-release. Fellowship was directed by Peter Jackson, written by Jackson, Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens (off the novel by J.R.R. Tolkien) and stars Elijah Wood, Ian McKellan, Viggo Mortensen, Sean Astin, Ian Holm, Christopher Lee, Sean Bean, Billy Boyd, Dominic Monaghan, Orlando Bloom, John Rhys-Davies, Cate Blanchett, Hugo Weaving, Liv Tyler, and Andy Serkis. It's a movie that J Mo has now seen seven times in theaters, and one Hayley recently got engaged while in the middle of watching, so suffice to say this is a very special movie for both of us. We talk all about that and more, so get into it! No clue when we'll be back, but thanks for sticking with us, we love you.

And that's all folks… the 2025 Football Season is officially OVER. (Unless you're prepared to dive headfirst into the UFL & figure that out, lol)The Super Bowl gave us… a football game. Technically. Josh & Joe break down everything from the big plays to the “almost” moments, including the redemption chapter in the Sam Darnold saga. Was this legacy-defining? Scripted chaos? Somewhere in between? The boys unpack it all. Of course, no Super Bowl recap is complete without: a polarizing halftime show (artistic masterpiece or meltdown) and the top commercials.Then — because JMO never waits — the boys pivot straight into the future with their 2027 Super Bowl odds picks. Yes, 2027. Too early? Probably. Are they still confident? Absolutely. They also react to the latest NFL coaching hires, even a few hot takes from Josh on their offseason moves.With March Madness right around the corner, Josh & Joe check in on the College Basketball landscape, including LSU's future and surprisingly popularity level on campus. They also sprinkle in a quick preview of College Baseball season (yes, we're pivoting seasons already), before wrapping with their excitement for the PGA Tour officially teeing off at the Waste Management Open — possibly the most appropriately named sporting event of all time.Football's done. Madness is loading. Golf chaos is here.The sports calendar never sleeps — and neither do the takes.

Jmo, Andreas and Blake caught up at the end of January to discuss how the year has started. Spoiler alert: it hasn't gone too well. Tune in as they run through some of the updates from the first month of the year.

And here we are again… the Super Bowl is SET.The NFL scriptwriters did it again, in showing absolutely NO CREATIVITY: Seahawks vs Patriots. In this week's episode, the JMO boys break down the Conference Championship games that led us here, in two games that couldn't have more contrast between them. From coaching decisions to hella performances, Josh & Joe explain how we ended up with this ultimate, definitely-not-recycled Super Bowl matchup. Then, they lock in their Super Bowl picks, delivering one final JMO Special of the season — so you can either ride with confidence or fade responsibly one last time.But the NFL news doesn't stop there. The boys react to three major coaching hires shaking up the league: Jesse Minter landing with the Ravens, Mike McCarthy taking over in Pittsburgh, and Joe Brady heading to Buffalo. Who nailed it? Who reached? And who might already be feeling the heat before next season even kicks off? Josh & Joe give their unfiltered takes.Next up: THE TRANSFER PORTAL FINALE.The chaos has officially settled, and with it comes a coronation. The boys break down the final wave of portal moves — highlighted by the massive decision of Jordan Seaton, much to their delight. With that move, Lane Kiffin officially earns the crown as “King of the Portal,” ushering in a new reign of offseason dominance. Josh & Joe also analyze the top-ranked teams coming out of the portal, the surprise risers, and one program that looks ready to run the table next season if things break right.To wrap things up, the boys finally tap into Men's College Basketball (yes, it's apparently going on). They check in on LSU Men's and Women's hoops, where things are quietly starting to get interesting — with optimism, concerns, and plenty more coverage to come as the season heats up.Super Bowl hype. Coaching shakeups. Portal royalty. Basketball returns.It's peak JMO energy — don't miss it.

A new OC with familiar roots The Detroit Lions hired Drew Petzing as offensive coordinator. The hire ties Detroit to the Kevin Stefanski tree and a system built on timing and detail. Petzing coached tight ends in Cleveland in 2020 and 2021. Those Browns made the playoffs and won a playoff game for the first time in more than thirty years. His Cleveland work stands out. Petzing helped turn David Njoku from a talented but inconsistent former first rounder into a much better pro. The improvement started with focus. Route depths got precise. A nine-yard out was nine yards, not seven or ten. The blocking jumped too. Njoku became a Pro Bowl caliber tight end. Harrison Bryant arrived as a glorified big wideout and improved as a blocker and in the finer points of spacing. The common thread was attention to detail. Scheme overlap that fits Detroit Petzing comes from the Stefanski offense that traces back through Minnesota and the Norv Turner and Shanahan Kubiak family of ideas. It is a timing and precision attack. It aims for yards after the catch and hits weak points. It mixes in deep shots from base looks. That is also the foundation Ben Johnson used in Detroit. The language changes, but the structure aligns. In Cleveland, the core pieces were Nick Chubb at running back, Odell Beckham and Jarvis Landry at wide receiver, and Njoku with Bryant at tight end. Baker Mayfield ran the show. The line was strong aside from a sore spot at left tackle. The results were a middle-of-the-pack offense, about fourteenth, that strung together long drives. It was not an all-or-nothing unit. It generated explosives out of its core formations. Landry was a draft comp for Amon-Ra St. Brown. St. Brown is the better athlete now, but the play style echoes. If you frame J-Mo as the OBJ role from that one good Cleveland year before injuries, the parallels are easy to see. Tight ends and 12 personnel on deck The Lions need more help at tight end. The head coach played tight end in the NFL and is a former tight ends coach. He likes 12 personnel, with one back and two tight ends. Petzing's track record with Njoku and Bryant pairs with that preference. Coincidentally, Njoku is a free agent this offseason. Petzing also served as quarterbacks coach in Cleveland in 2022. That matters for Detroit. Jared Goff is different from Baker Mayfield. Goff is more careful, less mobile, and a better decision maker. That profile fits the Stefanski-style approach. Within a familiar NFL framework, the Detroit Lions can carry over what already works and sharpen the edges under their new offensive coordinator. This is a continuity bet with clear intent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTkpjtwbT84 #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #drewpetzing #detroitlionsoffensivecoordinator #kevinstefanskioffense #tightendscoach #davidnjoku #harrisonbryant #12personnel #benjohnson #shanahankubiakstyle #jarvislandry #odellbeckham #nickchubb #bakermayfield #amon-rast.brown #jaredgoff Learn more about your ad choices.

McDaniel's Interview and Culture Fit Detroit hosted Mike McDaniel on Tuesday for the offensive coordinator job. He left without a deal and may be headed to Nashville to meet the Titans or another NFL team. The first question in Detroit is simple. Does he fit the culture and the way this staff wants to run the room? If the answer is yes, the upside is obvious. The Lions are in full offseason mode and this opening sits at the center of it. What His Offense Could Unlock in Detroit McDaniel's value shows up in the run game. Miami's offense scores at the one-yard line with regularity because of design. Jalen Waddle is fast. Tyreek Hill is fast. Tua has limitations, yet the scheme squeezes production from the whole group. Devin Hian is not a big back, but he constantly runs into space. That is the point. Create angles. Create daylight. Finish in the low red zone. Picture that with Jahmyr Gibbs. Detroit can run outside zone and be fine at it. The conversation is how much wide zone you want, and how the current offensive line fits. A blend is on the table. Gap scheme. Zone scheme. You can marry both and lean into weekly matchups. McDaniel's passing game can live in quick answers for Jared and still hit explosives. Dagger concept. A go ball to J Mo. Get the ball out, then punish coverage when it bites. That mix fits what the Detroit Lions have built and what this offense already does well. If He Chooses Detroit—and What's Next McDaniel may prefer a head coaching job. If that door closes, Detroit offers a place to reset and light up scoreboards for a year or two. Put up numbers. Win games. Then reassess. The Lions need to decide if the voice, the rhythm, and the install align with their standards. If it clicks, this would be a dynamic hire for the Detroit Lions and one of the most intriguing moves of the NFL offseason. There is more on deck. The crew is pushing daily content and rolling into early draft talk. Draft videos are coming, with some early draft crushes for the 2026 NFL Draft teased on the show. The search for an offensive coordinator leads the week, but Detroit's broader plan is clear. Keep building. Make the right hire. Maximize a roster that is ready to go. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIdcjOEvuZY #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #detroitlionsoffensivecoordinatorsearch #mikemcdanielinterview #culturefit #runninggame #lowredzone #outsidezone #widezone #gapscheme #jameergibbsusage #jaredquickgame #jmodeepshots #daggerconcept #goball #2026nfldraftcrushes #tennesseetitansinterview Learn more about your ad choices.

John explains why podcasts work even without massive downloads, what most founders get wrong when they try content, and how designing intentional experiences turns guests into partners, customers, and advocates.We also dive into John's personal reinvention, how hitting rock bottom reshaped his leadership style, and why founders can no longer hide behind logos if they want to grow. Today's audience follows people, not companies.You'll learn:✅ How podcasting can function as a business development engine✅ Why giving people a platform builds trust faster than pitching them✅ How to use conversations to shorten sales cycles and open doors✅ Why brand experiences matter more than messaging✅ What it takes to reinvent yourself and your business with intentionIf you're a founder, entrepreneur, or business owner looking to replace cold outreach with warm relationships and turn conversations into revenue, this episode gives you a practical, real-world playbook.Connect with John MorrisGuest LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/%E2%98%98%EF%B8%8Fjohn-morris%E2%98%98%EF%B8%8F/Guest Website: https://444.media/If you are a B2B company that wants to build your own in-house content team instead of outsourcing your content to a marketing agency, we may be a fit for you!

Josh & Joe break down the headline-making saga that has college football buzzing, unpacking what actually happened, why it matters, and the unexpected “college rules” lesson that is the reality of college athletics.As we inch closer to the College Football Playoff, the boys also recap the most American and most-watched game of the year: Army vs. Navy. Tradition, pageantry, patriotism, and football the way God intended — they cover it all as only JMO can.Joe has his annual epiphany that somehow sneaks up every December on this weekend… college basketball is already underway. The boys officially turn their attention to the hardwood, breaking down the early College Basketball season, LSU's roster, expectations, and what this year might actually look like (don't worry — this is just the beginning).Over in the NFL, the playoff picture is finally starting to clear up — and somehow, someway, the boys make the case that the Saints might be the best team in the NFC South. Is it technically correct by NFL standards? Maybe not. Is the argument compelling? Absolutely.The guys also react to a wild NFL week that reshaped the playoff race, discuss the Chiefs officially missing the playoffs, and Joe makes a bold declaration on who's winning the Super Bowl (hear him out… seriously).And of course, they close things out with their weekly NFL picks, including TWO JMO Specials, delivered with maximum confidence and minimal regard for consequences.0:00 intro/Sherrone Moore Firing10:25 Army vs Navy Recap13:30 LSU Basketball Recap22:00 NFL Recap52:20 NFL Picks

First-Half Firepower, Then Silence Monday in Detroit arrived without the noise. The Detroit Lions fell to the Rams on Sunday, and the tape split in two. The first half looked like the team that bullied the NFL last year. Jared Goff was sharp. Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams found space. The blocking held up. Aidan Hutchinson stole a possession with an interception. Even with dodgy officiating, the Lions pushed to a 24-14 lead. A late Rams field goal trimmed it before the break, but the Detroit Lions still felt in control. That control vanished after halftime. Three possessions. Nine plays. Three three-and-outs. With a penalty factored in, the Lions finished the third quarter at minus-four yards on those drives. The Rams defense surged. The run game stalled. Jameer Gibbs never found daylight and bounced runs into trouble. Tristan Colon struggled at left guard. The call is clear: the line needs Christian Mahogany back. When you cannot protect Goff or run with any reliability, good NFL teams bury you. The Rams did. Edges Exposed, Back End Missing Matthew Stafford ignited in the second half. Los Angeles attacked the Lions where they are weakest right now, at cornerback and safety. The Blake Corum touchdown came when Rock Ya-Sin crashed too hard inside, surrendering the edge. That was emblematic. Missed assignments piled up. Beyond Hutchinson's takeaway, the pass rush did not change the math. The Rams looked like the number one seed, because they played like it. The absences hurt. The defense is built for back-end playmakers to close windows and erase mistakes. Kirby Joseph and Brian Branch were not out there. Eric Hallett was thrust into his first meaningful NFL minutes and battled, but he is not an All-Pro. The result was a secondary asked to survive on an island. It did not. Dan Campbell's Reality Check Dan Campbell captured the mood postgame. The Lions saw the top of the NFC and are not there right now. That tracks with this season's pattern. At times, Detroit looks like a contender. Last week against Dallas, the ceiling flashed. At other times, like the third quarter Sunday, the floor drops out. Consistency has not arrived, and the margin for error has vanished. Three Games Left, Narrow Path There are three games left. Win all three and the Detroit Lions should reach the postseason. They can do it. Pittsburgh is on the slate and should be beatable, but nothing is guaranteed with this form. The blueprint is simple. Stabilize left guard. Get healthier on the back end. Let Goff, St. Brown, and J Mo dictate tempo early and often. Let Hutchinson's playmaking spark the rush. The Detroit Lions Podcast Daily framed it well: macro truths first, details to follow. The truth is blunt. The Rams were better. Detroit must turn flashes into four quarters, or January will slip away. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKFSx_eFA0E #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #aidanhutchinson #jaredgoff #amon-rast.brown #jamesonwilliams #jameergibbs #tristancolon #christianmahogany #rockya-sin #matthewstafford #blakecorumtouchdown Learn more about your ad choices.

The College Football Playoff madness has off you icially begun, and if there's one thing we've learned… it's that drama is undefeated. This week, Josh & Joe dive headfirst into every ounce of chaos surrounding the playoff picture — from the programs screaming the loudest (yes, Notre Dame, we're talking about you) to the ones who should honestly be rioting in the streets (Vanderbilt, we're on your side).The boys go all-in on the debates, dropping shockingly logical cases for why JMU and Tulane should be in the playoffs. Their reasoning? Bold. Wild. Slightly delusional. But weirdly convincing. You will be entertained.Then comes the full first-round College Football Playoff breakdown — who's advancing, who's doomed, who's covering the spread even in defeat, and who might pull off the biggest shocker of the postseason. This episode is absolutely loaded with CFP predictions, hot takes, conspiracy theories, and playoff chaos.Meanwhile in the NFL, the playoff race is heating up like a microwave burrito, and some teams are starting to feel that percentage drop in real time. The boys break down the biggest Week 14 matchups, what each game means for the playoff picture, and which teams might be cooked, revived, or heading for a dramatic December collapse.And of course — it wouldn't be JMO without the weekly NFL picks, featuring a fresh batch of JMO Specials.

This week on JMO, the boys suffer through an LSU performance so sluggish you'd think the offense was running through quicksand, blindfolded, & in slow motion. If you watched it, you deserve a medal. But somehow, Josh & Joe uncover actual positives and bottle them up like rare optimism — proof that the future might not be doom and gloom after all.Breaking: The Lane Train roars back into the conversation like it owns the tracks. Where is it headed now? Coaching destiny? Disaster? Both? The boys start mapping out the route like conspiracy theorists with red string. Meanwhile, Joe may have cracked Florida's coaching code — and if he's right, Gators fans might owe him royalties.And just when Dan Lanning called this week's CFB slate boring, college football said hold my beer. Upsets broke loose, nostalgia hit like Big 12 football circa 2010, and chaos reigned beautifully.If LSU caused emotional pain, the Saints game straight-up waterboarded the fanbase.LSU vs. WKU suddenly looked like the Rose Bowl compared to that Saints-Dirty Birds disaster. The boys dig through the ashes attempting to find something — anything — positive, while simultaneously unloading trauma that probably belongs in therapy and not on a podcast (but hey, content is content).They diagnose Eagles fans mid-breakdown, defend why Jameis deserved to walk away a winner, and watch the Colts shock us… right up until they remembered they're playing the Chiefs and sabotaged themselves accordingly.This episode has it all — pain, hope, delusion, chaos football, and emotional damage served fresh.0:00 intro/weekend update5:10 lsu vs western Kentucky recap15:40 lane kiffin coaching decision27:35 college football recap50:25 college football picks59:15 nfl recap1:14:45 nfl picks

How Process Thinking Will Supercharge Your Military to Business Transition On this episode of the Cameron-Brooks Podcast, Senior Vice President Joel Junker sits down with Phil Ranck, founder of Lean Alaska and a retired Army CW4 logistician. Phil shares how Lean Six Sigma helped him shift from “fix the person” to “fix the process. Additionally, he shares why that mindset is critical for junior military officers (JMOs) moving into business leadership roles. More specifically, if you're preparing for interviews or your first role post-military, this conversation is packed with practical takeaways you can apply immediately. In short, developing your process thinking will supercharge your military to business transition. From Warrant Officer to Process Leader Phil joined the Army intending to serve two years—and stayed for 24. Along the way, Lean Six Sigma gave him a language and framework to communicate with commanders, diagnose issues, and drive change. His big lesson: most failures aren't individual—they're process problems. That perspective reshaped his leadership and later inspired Lean Alaska, where he now trains and consults across industry. Additionally, in his role, he translates “military speak” to the terms hiring managers understand. Why Lean & Six Sigma Belong in Your Toolkit Whether you're headed to operations, manufacturing, sales, or project management, Phil argues that a baseline in Lean and Six Sigma helps you see—and explain—value. He breaks it down with DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control). More specifically, he talks about resisting the urge to jump straight to solutions; measuring the baseline; finding root causes; then improving and controlling so changes stick. You've likely been doing parts of this already. Certifications and vocabulary simply give you the framework to tell your story in interviews and in your first 90 days. Reading, Certifications, Funding, and Flexible Learning At a minimum if you are a JMO considering a transition, you will want to familiarize yourself with business concepts like Lean, Six Sigma, Project Management and Change Management. You watch YouTube Vidoes, take classes on Coursera, and read books such as What is Lean Six Sigma, Fundamentals of Project Management, Leading Change and The Goal. If you have time and the financial resources, you can earn certifications. There are numerous organizations and universities that offer official learning at a reasonable cost, or investment. A certification does not ensure transition success, though it does indicate mastery of a subject. A few Cameron-Brooks Alumni have earned certifications through Lean Alaska. Phil emphasizes no out-of-pocket when possible—leveraging Army Credentialing Assistance, Post-9/11 GI Bill, and other pathways. The program also helps you build a portfolio you can bring to interviews to prove real impact. He also partners with bodies like ASQ, PMI, and ACMP, and delivers virtual, recorded, repeatable training focused on doing, not just testing. ConclusionIf you want a practical roadmap to translate your military experience into business results—and speak the language of industry—don't miss this episode. Hear Phil's stories, learn the tools, and discover funding paths that make upskilling attainable. Listen now and turn your transition into a process you can lead.

This week, we're joined by Jon “JMo” Morgenstern, Head of Investment at VaynerMedia, who manages over $1.5B in annual media spend across brands like Oreo/Mondelez, JP Morgan Chase, PepsiCo, and Yeti. JMo breaks down how enterprise advertisers think about channel mix, retail media, and allocating capital across Meta, TikTok, CTV, Amazon, and Walmart and what DTC operators can learn from teams working at that scale.From there, we dive deep into measurement. JMo breaks down how enterprise teams are approaching incrementality, causal MMM, brand lift, and retail media halo effects and why fast-moving brands need to start thinking beyond last-click and short-window ROAS if they want to graduate into real growth mode.Then we move into creative. We talk about why “just make more ads” isn't the strategy and how Vayner thinks about creative volume × creative diversity, niche persona testing, and using organic performance as a signal before scaling into paid.We wrap with TikTok Shop, retail partnerships, and why even the biggest brands in the world are still navigating the same innovator's dilemma as fast-growth DTC brands - just with more zeros and way more stakeholders. If you're trying to spend smarter, measure smarter, and make creative that actually moves the needle, you're gonna love this one.If you have a question for the MOperators Hotline, click the link to be in with a chance of it being discussed on the show: https://forms.gle/1W7nKoNK5Zakm1Xv6Chapters:00:00:00 - Introduction00:04:59 - Fortune 500 vs DTC Strategies00:17:59 - Measuring Awareness, Incrementality & MMM00:38:49 - Vayner Volume Model: Diversity over Iteration00:52:49 - Turning Organic Wins into TV Commercials01:04:11 - TikTok Shop Strategy & Cross-Channel HaloPowered by:Motion.⁠⁠⁠https://motionapp.com/pricing?utm_source=marketing-operators-podcast&utm_medium=paidsponsor&utm_campaign=march-2024-ad-reads⁠⁠⁠https://motionapp.com/creative-trendsPrescient AI.⁠⁠⁠https://www.prescientai.com/operatorsRichpanel.⁠⁠⁠https://www.richpanel.com/?utm_source=MO&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=ytdescAftersell.https://www.aftersell.com/operatorsRivo.https://www.rivo.io/operatorsSubscribe to the 9 Operators Podcast here:https://www.youtube.com/@Operators9Subscribe to the Finance Operators Podcast here:https://www.youtube.com/@FinanceOperatorsFOPSSign up to the 9 Operators newsletter here:https://9operators.com/

After a much-needed bye week (yes, the boys' bye week

At long last… Brian Kelly has been fired! After one of the most painful weekends in recent memory (thanks a lot, Texas A&M), there's finally light at the end of the LSU tunnel. Josh & Joe break down what's next for the Tigers—revealing two dream hires, two realistic options, and two coaches they absolutely DO NOT want (no matter what the national media says).Feeling confident after an impressive weekend of college football picks, the boys admit they're starting to get a little cocky. What could possibly go wrong? (Famous last words.)Meanwhile, in the NFL, the Saints continue to test fan loyalty—but in true JMO fashion, the boys somehow manage to find both positives and negatives to rant about. Elsewhere around the league, the Jets finally won (yeah, we said it), the Chargers got the job done, and the Vikings pulled a very Viking move… leading to a heartfelt RIP to Skattebo.0:00 intro/weekend update4:25 LSU recap/ coach talk34:15 College football recap43:00 College football picks48:20 NFL Recap1:07:45 NFL Picks1:12:10 NBA/MLB News

In what might be the worst weekend ever for any sports fan, Josh & Joe still bring the raw, unfiltered truth about everything that went wrong (and a few things that didn't). The boys dig deep—real deep—to find positives in this year's LSU football team, even if it means complimenting the other team just to cope. Luckily, a wave of college football upsets across the country offered a little bit of comfort in the chaos.Over in the NFL, the Saints continue to collapse on the road, and Week 6 delivered everything from an “Unc Game” showdown to a 4th-quarter thriller, plus one burning question: are the Jets the next 2017 Browns?And just when you thought things couldn't get worse… the JMO betting picks somehow matched the misery. If you faded them, congratulations—you probably made money. If not, the boys are back with “fantastic” new picks to either redeem themselves or burn it all down again.0:00 Intro/weekend update4:25 College Football Recap43:35 College Football Picks49:20 NFL Recap1:10:45 NFL Picks

Fall is officially here, and you know what that means — coaching firings season has begun. This week on JMO, Josh & Joe unload on Brian Kelly after LSU's frustrating performance against South Carolina (and yes, maybe they wouldn't mind if he joined the list of fired coaches). After another copy-paste Florida-style scoreline, the boys break down their raw reactions, passionate takes, and early emotions heading into Vanderbilt week.Elsewhere in college football, the James Franklin firing dominates the headlines, while Josh & Joe dream of teaming up with Curt Cignetti and vent their not-so-secret resentment toward Michigan for one very specific reason.In the NFL world, the Saints continue to test their fans' loyalty—but Josh & Joe can't agree on how the team should move forward. Meanwhile, Giants fans finally have something to cheer about, Lions fans are pulling their hair out, Jared Goff uncovers a rule nobody knew existed, and the Falcons are… well, being exactly who they always are.The boys close out the episode with their weekly betting advice, fresh off a perfect 4-0 record for JMO Specials this season. Whether you're looking to ride the wave or fade the picks, Josh & Joe have you covered with their can't-miss betting breakdowns for this weekend's college football and NFL slates. Tune in to find out if JMO stays hot—or if it's time to cash in by betting against them. Either way, you're winning.

In this episode, I sit down with Cory Bouck—former Navy Naval Flight Officer, Cameron-Brooks alum, and author of The Lens of Leadership: Being the Leader Others Want to Follow. Together, we explore how military-honed leadership translates into exceptional business results. Today, Cory is making a significant impact in the private sector at Johnsonville Sausage, where culture, coaching, and performance go hand-in-hand. Importantly, this is a great example of self-transcendent military leadership in action in corporate America. This is Cory's second time being a guest on the podcast. If you missed it, you can listen to his first episode here. Here is what we cover in this episode: Inside Johnsonville's Leadership Culture Cory opens the curtain on Johnsonville's mission: create the environment where each of us is required to fully develop our God-given talents—and help others do the same. Leaders are called “coaches" Employees are “members" The Johnsonville Way shows up daily through values like Humble Candor, Collaborative Teamwork, Learning Agility, and Personal Commitment. Together, these values create a culture of straight talk delivered with care, high standards, and real growth. Why JMOs Fit and Thrive Cory explains why junior military officers are prized: they lead up, down, and across, stay relentlessly focused on mission accomplishment, and learn fast. Moreover, that mindset maps directly to Johnsonville's values and to the expectations of modern companies that need adaptable leaders who close gaps, build teams, and deliver outcomes. The Lens of Leadership: Serve • Build • Inspire Drawing from his book, Cory starts with followership—a set of learnable, practical skills that make you professionally essential while creating chances to demonstrate superior leadership. He shares tools like an Impact Map to connect new skills to on-the-job applications, team metrics, and company results. He also talked about the 70-20-10 learning model (learn most by doing). By applying these tools, leaders can see tangible results while developing themselves and their teams. Why Listen If you're a JMO considering a transition, this episode of PCS to Corporate America demonstrates how to: Maintain your service-first identity while growing as a leader Thrive in your first corporate role Evaluate company culture effectively Use AI as a force multiplier for high-impact leadership Overall, listen to learn how to carry your military edge into business and become the leader others want to follow. The Cameron-Brooks Mission At Cameron-Brooks, we guide officers through the transition and accompany them along the journey to de-risk the transition and help them reach their goals.

Lessons from Cameron-Brooks Alumni on Military to Business Transition Success Each Cameron-Brooks Career Conference represents a major career event for our JMOs. In these military to business transition successes, officers together years of military service and months, (maybe even years of preparation in the Development and Preparation Program). Then, they interview with Industry leading companies in business. Our JMOs at the August 2025 Career Conference averaged 10.3 interviews over a two-day period. Additionally, every single JMO was pursued into the follow up process. Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down with my teammate Geoff Fries and three Cameron-Brooks alumni who attended the August Conference. In this episode, they share their experiences and insights pre-conference in DPP, during the conference, and during the post-conference where they earned offers, evaluated them and made a decision to launch their next career. Together, we unpacked their stories and explored what their preparation, mindset, and execution looked like resulting in their military to business transition successes. Below, I'll highlight their lessons, strategies, and mindsets - from early preparation to behavioral interviews and ultimately into final decision-making. Meet the Alumni: Three Distinct Paths to Success Before diving into strategies, here's where these three standout officers landed: Matt Dahlager, an Army Military Intelligence Captain, joined Ubicquia, a smart grid technology company that leverages sensors and AI to improve energy infrastructure. He'll serve as an Area Sales Manager for the Ohio River Valley region. Spencer Preston, a former Marine Corps officer, accepted a role as a Summit Fellow at USAA in San Antonio, Texas. He'll rotate through key leadership areas such as CEO staff, property and casualty operations, or CFO development roles. Weslee Warren, a Navy Surface Warfare Officer, joined Corning Optical Communications in Charlotte, North Carolina, where he'll work as a Technical Program Manager driving fiber-to-the-premises projects and collaborating with engineering and product teams. Building a Foundation: Start Early One of the strongest themes in our conversation was the value of time spent in DPP. On average, candidates spend about 11 months preparing through the Cameron-Brooks program. Spencer prepared for 38 months. Wes spent about one year. Matt invested nearly two years. During that time, Cameron-Brooks was able to meet them multiple times for in person and virtual preparation sessions, which allowed them to: Build Trust with Cameron-Brooks Early engagement allowed each candidate to develop a trusted relationship with the Cameron-Brooks team - vital since our team members advocate for each candidate directly with partner companies. Conduct Self-Assessment and Reflection Before they could tell their story to companies, they had to understand it themselves. This meant revisiting military experiences in order to translate their military experiences into relevant business leadership accomplishment with clear impact and results. Leadership, problem-solving, mission alignment, etc. and how that translates into private-sector value. Learn Business Skills and Apply them They didn't just study business - they applied it. By integrating recognized industry concepts that they learned in DPP such as Lean Six Sigma into their current military duties, they created concrete examples that later became powerful interview stories.  Invest in themselves Hundreds of hours of practice, reflection, and preparation went into preparation before the Conference. Learning to Speak the Language of Business Each alumnus emphasized how critical it was to learn the language of the Business.  Their Go-To Learning Tools: Books and Business Education: They read extensively - diving into leadership, finance, and operations management books, reviews, articles,

This week on JMO, Josh & Joe break down a college football weekend that looked like a dud on paper—but totally redeemed itself. From Penn State and James Franklin proving they can lose the little games too, to Billy Napier's job-saving performance, the boys dive into all the chaos (and comedy) from the Week 6 slate. And yes, Bill Belichick might officially be living in the worst timeline ever—plus, as always, Vegas was right again.Then over in the NFL, the moment every fan's been waiting for finally happened… THE SAINTS WON! The monkey is off the back and safely back in the zoo! Josh & Joe are absolutely ecstatic—but they're also keeping it real about what still needs fixing.Elsewhere around the league, Titans vs. Cardinals delivered pure chaos, proving we can still get college-style thrillers in the NFL. The Ravens might have a growing issue on their hands, and the Broncos, Patriots, and Jaguars all came out on top in one of the most entertaining NFL Week 5 slates yet.

Jonathan “J.Mo” Moran is one of Australia’s best known entertainment journalists, but behind the red carpets lies a far more complex story. In this candid conversation, Jess uncovers the real person behind the headlines: JMo’s struggles with self-image, the lasting impact of childhood trauma, and what led him to become a Lifeline ambassador. They explore the hidden costs of a glamorous career, how the loss of his close friend Charlotte Dawson reshaped his understanding of mental health, and why advocating for open, stigma-free conversations matters more than ever. JMo reflects on coping mechanisms (healthy and not), the challenges of journalistic integrity, and the role of connection, purpose, and kindness in his journey. A powerful reminder that every public persona hides a private battle, and that sharing those struggles can help light the way for others.

En este diálogo, Juan Daniel Oviedo expone cómo en la política contemporánea todo queda grabado y es objeto de interpretación en redes sociales, donde gestos mínimos se convierten en memes o stickers que alimentan la polarización digital. Reflexiona sobre cómo esa exposición pública permanente puede resultar injusta, ya que fragmentos de sus intervenciones son sacados de contexto para generar ataques. La credibilidad, aunque difícil de sostener, es el activo más valioso en un entorno donde predomina la búsqueda de likes y la viralidad.

This week, it's one zombie battle after another as we talk two big movies from the two big Paul Andersons... it's 2002's Resident Evil, written and directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and starring Milla Jovovich, Michelle Rodriguez, Colin Salmon, Eric Mabius, James Purefoy and Martin Crewes. It's a movie that J Mo specifically picked up to do a whole parody of the PTA theme month we did last year (a "P.W.S.Autumn" if you will), so it's only fitting that we actually spend the bulk of this episode talking about Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another, an absolutely stunning cinematic achievement and the best movie of 2025. Meanwhile, Hayley has caught Weapons not once but twice since we last spoke, and we use that as a springboard to look ahead at what we'd like to see from Zach Cregger's next project, as he tries to be true to the gameplaying experience of the original Resident Evil games. All that plus theatrical field reports from Justin on The Conjuring: Last Rites and The Long Walk! If you'd like to watch Resident Evil before listening along to our discussion, it can currently be found streaming in Canada on Netflix, Paramount+ and Hollywood Suite at the time of publication, while One Battle After Another is of course now in theaters. Other works discussed in this episode include Barbarian, Insidious: The Red Door, Alien: Romulus, Rye Lane, Carlito's Way, Licorice Pizza, Sinners, Inherent Vice, The Big Lebowski, 28 Days Later, Night of the Living Dead, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, and of course, as always, LOST. We'll be back in two weeks time with another Halloween-themed horror selection, but what this is we don't yet know, so keep your eyes peeled to our social accounts on Instagram and BlueSky to find out! Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!

In this week's episode of JMO, Josh & Joe unpack an absolutely electric weekend of college football—arguably the most exciting slate of the season so far. They kick things off with a heartbreaking LSU loss to Ole Miss, where it wasn't so much that Ole Miss won, but that LSU simply didn't. Josh delivers a fiery rant and doubles down on a bold opinion he's riding with for the rest of the year.From there, it's a full CFB recap:​Oregon shocks Penn State in their own White Out game​Alabama continues to haunt Georgia & Kirby Smart with the ghost of Nick Saban​Another coaching firing rocks the college football world​Plus more upsets, surprises, and highlights from across the countryOn the NFL side, the Saints still showed positives even against the league's best, while the Cowboys vs. Packers rivalry delivered for one person in particular. Are the Ravens in trouble? Is the Action Jaxon Dart era officially here? And how about that Vikings vs. Steelers Dublin showdown to kick off the morning slate?The boys also break down their betting picks of the week, the results of the latest JMO Specials, and wrap things up with takes on the MLB Playoffs and the unforgettable Ryder Cup weekend.1:05 weekend update6:40 College football Recap46:55 College football picks49:40 NFL Recap1:17:30 NFL Picks1:23:30 MLB Playoffs and Ryder Cup

This week, Josh & Joe dive into the College Football Week 4 slate, starting with LSU's sneaky “win within the win” over Southeastern. The boys segue into the new SEC yearly opponents release and Josh's frustrating take. From there, it's all about the weekend's biggest upsets, the coaches already feeling the heat, and the surprising names in the mix as replacements. Plus, is money actually buying happiness (and wins) in college football? And why Indiana's Curt Cignetti might just be the spitting image of a coach you already know (yes, exactly who you're thinking). Then it's time to add CFB to the boys' (totally “expert”) college football betting picks for the week. Over in the NFL, things get spicy as JMO officially declares the Saints dead after the disaster that was apart of the Special Teams Bonanza Weekend. Luckily, Saints fans can always smile knowing the Falcons' misery never ends.The boys wrap things up with more betting talk, reviewing last week's picks, previewing NFL Week 4 bets, and reminding you that if you fade their picks, you might just become a millionaire.

Cameron-Brooks June 2025 Career Conference Review: Insights for Your Military-to-Business Transition Transitioning from the military to a professional business career is a pivotal moment for any Junior Military Officer (JMO). At Cameron-Brooks, our mission is to help JMOs navigate this career transition with clarity and confidence through a three-step approach: 1) Prepare 2) Search 3) Launch Our June 2025 Post-Conference Review offered a deep dive into the April Career Conference results and shared actionable insights for those preparing for the August 2025 conference, and those in the Cameron-Brooks Development and Preparation Program. I was joined by three recent Cameron-Brooks Alumnus who attended the Conference: Jesse DeVries (Caterpillar), Patrick McMahan (Intuitive Surgical), and Connor McNamara (Optimized Process Designs, LLC - a Koch Engineered Solutions company. Whether you are actively preparing for your transition or simply exploring what's possible, here are the biggest takeaways from our latest Career Conference and alumni panel. June 2025 Conference Recap: A Fast-Paced Career Launchpad The Cameron-Brooks Career Conference is a 4.5 day, high-intensity event, where you'll meet with Hiring Managers for open positions from industry leading companies spanning across multiple industries. At the June Conference, 46 JMOs attended, and 445 interviews were conducted. Every single JMO was "pursued" to the next round of interviews. These open positions are highly complex, designed to be filled by high-performing junior leadership talent in order to get into a company's succession planning. With about two openings per position on average, some opportunities were highly competitive single openings, while others offered broader geographic flexibility and multiple openings. Every JMO had multiple pathways to success.  Navigating the Market and Maximizing Interviews Despite a competitive economy - high interest rates and unemployment hovering around 4.2% (Which is relatively normal) - The JMOs interviewed for premium roles in leadership, operations, sales, and engineering. Key lessons from the conference: Be a Giver: Successful candidates focused on solving the company problem first (The open position). When candidates successfully connected their background, built rapport and demonstrated genuine interest in that position, the companies reciprocated with a pursuit for the next round of interviews, and then offers onsite. Preparation Drives Pursuits: The best-prepared JMOs - those who dressed for success, mastered their stories, and tailored their answers - earned the most follow-up interviews. There was a direct correlation between time spent in preparation (Phase 1 -Preparation), and successfully launching (Phase 3 - Launch). Embrace a Broad Search: Flexibility in industry and location opened the door for a broader search (Phase 2 - Search). The average time from conference to signed offer was 13.25 working days, with some candidates accepting in as few as six working days. Preparing Like a Pro: The Cameron-Brooks Process Our alumni panel reinforced the importance of preparation prior to, during, and post-conference. Pre-Conference Development & Preparation Program (DPP): Build your foundation, refine your stories, and understand how your military experience translates. Study Groups: Considered the most valuable tool for refining answers and building confidence. Mock Interviews: Essential to remove military jargon and communicate stories effectively. Reading List: Builds business acumen and helps connect with the interviewers, and recognized industry practices and topics such as: Lean, Six Sigma, Data Analytics, etc. During the Conference Company Briefings: Every JMO received a 30-minute briefing on every company they interviewed with accelerating their knowledge on each company, and what skills were necessary to connect on and be su...

Beau Hughes – HF Sinclair: Corporate Procurement Leader It was an absolute pleasure to have my good friend, Beau Hughes, join me on the PCS to Corporate America Podcast. Beau works for HF Sinclair as a Procurement Supervisor in their Corporate Procurement team.  Find out how Beau went from JMO to Corporate Procurement Leader in our latest podcast. Beau was one of the first JMOs I had the opportunity to work with when I joined Cameron-Brooks in 2023. Since then, we've grown close, and I've enjoyed watching him build a successful life and career after the Army. A former U.S. Army Logistics Officer, Beau launched his corporate career in November 2023 with HF Sinclair in Tulsa, OK. Right after accepting the offer through the November 2023 Career Conference, Beau and his wife welcomed their son into the world. Since then, things haven't slowed down. Within his first year, Beau earned a promotion and returned to a Career Conference as a hiring manager, where he hired another Cameron-Brooks Alumnus. Beau's transition from the Army to a rising leader in corporate procurement is full of lessons for junior military officers. His story is inspiring, practical, and worth hearing. Transitioning to Civilian Life with Purpose With a baby on the way and a strong desire to be more present at home, Beau made the decision to leave the Army in early 2023. Like many officers, he started the job search on his own and quickly saw how challenging it can be to navigate the civilian hiring process. That's when a friend pointed him to Cameron-Brooks. After connecting with our team in August, Beau attended the November 2023 Career Conference and landed a Procurement Specialist role with HF Sinclair. “Cameron-Brooks made the process easy. I just had to show up prepared.” Redefining Procurement: Strategy Over Purchasing At HF Sinclair, Beau learned quickly that procurement is far more strategic than most people think. “I get a little offended when people call it purchasing. We're building partnerships to achieve the lowest total cost of ownership, not just buying stuff.” His responsibilities include managing sourcing events, writing contracts, and being a strategic partner to internal teams. He found success quickly, even leading one of the smoothest refinery turnarounds in the company's recent history. Earning a Promotion and Managing Life Transitions The first year wasn't easy, but it was worth it. In March 2025, a little over a year after starting, Beau was promoted to Procurement Supervisor and relocated to El Dorado, Kansas. Despite a steep learning curve and the demands of a new role, Beau felt supported throughout the process. “You're not just thrown to the wolves. You're challenged, yes, but supported the whole way.” During this time, Beau also navigated becoming a new dad, moving states, and buying a home. He also mentioned the value of having more predictability in his schedule. He's not necessarily working less, but he has more control. Beau's Advice for JMOs Beau had some solid advice for fellow officers considering a move to business: Be hungry and humble – Learn fast, ask questions, and show up ready to work. Own your learning – No one's handing you a manual. Be proactive. Stay authentic – Companies want the real you, not a script. Trust the process – The Cameron-Brooks program works if you do the work. “It's not instant gratification, but it works. You just have to grind, learn, and grow.” What Makes Cameron-Brooks Candidates Stand Out? Now that Beau is a hiring manager, he sees firsthand the quality of Cameron-Brooks candidates: They're prepared. They present themselves well. They're confident, not arrogant. They're genuine. Beau shared a story about a candidate who wore a suit to a casual interview. He didn't have to, but it made a lasting impression. Final Thoughts: Growth, Grit, and Giving Back

This episode is for JMOs who are ready to transition and don't want to take a step back in their next business career. In it, we: Define who this is for: JMOs aiming to lead and take on greater responsibility in a Business Leadership Career. Explain the "Traditional Career Search": Glassdoor, LinkedIn, Indeed, USAJOBS, etc. Define the "Non-Traditional Career Search." Explore why JMOs often default to the traditional approach. Share key takeaways and closing thoughts. JMOs are traditional candidates for defense-sector roles, but in the private sector, they are seen as non-traditional candidates. That is why Transition Rule #3 is: Throw Out the Traditional Career Search if you are aiming for upward mobility in business leadership. What is the "Traditional Career Search"? Searching based on past experience: “I have this experience in this industry,” or “I have this degree.” This focuses on what you have done, not your potential for leadership growth. Narrowing your options by what you know: Location or Career Field, or both. “I am a Logistics Officer, and my home of record is Dallas, TX, so I will pursue Logistics in Dallas.” Applying through job boards and online platforms: Glassdoor, LinkedIn, Indeed, USAJOBS. “Networking” that often feels vague or produces unclear outcomes. Important: The traditional search can work well for JMOs staying in defense, where their functional experience directly matches role requirements. But if you are making a hard pivot into business leadership, you need a different approach. The Reality of Online Applications in 2025 Job postings on LinkedIn attract 150 or more applicants. Popular roles see 300 or more. Indeed and Glassdoor listings often draw 200 to 500 candidates for a single role. Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) filter out 75% to 90% of résumés before they reach a human. The result? A success rate of only 2% to 5% for landing an interview via online applications. What is the "Non-Traditional Career Search"? A non-traditional search takes a different approach. It focuses on: Highlighting your leadership experience, potential, and ambition as your key value. Embracing a Growth and Investment Mindset. Expanding and comparing multiple opportunities. This does not mean applying to 200 companies but making quality attempts. Consider this: Of the 168 million people in the U.S. workforce, only 1.3 million are active-duty service members. Of those, about 200,000 to 234,000 are officers. JMOs (typically O-1 to O-3, with some O-4s) make up about 100,000 to 140,000. That is less than 0.1% of the total U.S. workforce. JMOs are a specialized leadership talent pool. Their skills are highly valuable but often overlooked by traditional hiring methods. The key is getting in front of companies that recognize your unique potential. The Big Question If you are a JMO pivoting to business, ask yourself: Do you know anyone who has lined up 10 to 12 quality interviews over two days? Interviews with hiring managers and decision-makers that bypass online filters, for roles that match or exceed their current pay and responsibility, and align with their separation timeline? This is what a targeted, quality-driven search looks like. A broad search gives you the power of comparison, helps you gather facts and real data, and puts you in a strong position when it is time to choose between offers. Facing Transition Challenges We know transition is tough. It is full of uncertainty, and it is natural to lean toward a traditional search. Well-meaning advice from family and friends can sometimes miss the mark if they lack expertise. There is also the temptation to choose what is familiar, like a job close to home or with a recognizable title. But those options might not deliver the long-term growth you deserve.

On this episode of The Rate Guy we discuss the back and forth around Jerome Powell's fate and the impact that has had on the Market. After that we have a special interview with the great friend and even better sport, Jon Morris aka JMo. We hear his thoughts on career, current markets and where our industry is headed. 

Why Is Transition Rule #1 - Don't Do It Alone? When talking about the transition, why did we make Transition Rule #1 -Don't Do It Alone?  At Cameron-Brooks, we've spent nearly 50 years helping Junior Military Officers (JMOs) make this transition successfully. A lot has changed in 50 years, and there is one thing for certain: There is so much information out there. There are a lot of resources and people out there who want to help you. We've developed 6 Rules for the JMO Military to Business Transition to help break through the vast amounts of information and organize it for you. These rules provide a framework and a structure to help you gather information, plan, prepare and help educate you on your options outside of the military. In this episode, we're joined by Tim Kirchner, who has spent 20+ years in the recruiting Industry. He's a key team member and leader at Cameron-Brooks. What is unique about Tim is that he's seen both sides. He's been at Cameron-Brooks for the last six years and has helped thousands of JMO's learn about their options and helped communicate how companies view and understand them. He's spent the majority of his professional career communicating with Hiring Managers and helping them find, build, and retain talent. Tim was the main driver behind organizing these rules. He's a wonderful teammate and leader, and we value that he's seen a lot, and he brings a fresh perspective and a “different frame” of viewing things. In this episode, we dove into the crucial first step: finding the right guide. We discuss key insights, practical strategies, and the value of a guide in the transition to help you build a plan, develop a strategy, and start building the foundation for your transition. We start with Transition Rule #1: Don't Do It Alone. In other words, Find Your Guide. Why Should You Find a Guide? It will highly increase your chances of being successful in the transition, based on how you define success. When starting something new, the most important thing to do is gather information and get educated on that topic. So naturally, how do we do that? We find information and people who know things that we don't. We learn from people who have gone before us and from people who have experience. What to Look for when You Find a Guide? The first thing that's important when you find a guide is choosing one that you trust. With trust comes open, candid communication, that goes both ways. For the JMO, it's about communicating what's important to you and thinking about your objectives in the transition. For the guide, it's about listening and being honest about the realistic nature of achieving those goals based upon the proposed strategy. We discussed the importance of trust, which stems from the book Trust by Dr. Henry Cloud. The five components of trust: 1. Does the guide understand what is important to you? 2. Does the guide have the expertise? 3. Does the guide have the Integrity and Character to do what they say they are going to do? 4. Does the guide have transparency in their motive to help you? 5. Does the guide have a clear track record? Transformation over Transaction Joel left us with some closing thoughts. Our mission at Cameron-Brooks is about transformation, not transaction. We don't just place JMOs in front of Hiring Managers and Decision Makers for open developmental positions. It goes further than that. We strive to be Counterculture to help JMOs grow, reflect, and step into the next phase of their careers with confidence. We strive to provide confidence in your choice to find a guide.

Our January 2025 Post Conference Review is live, and I always look forward to the weeks following a Career Conference and visiting with our recent alumni. It's the culmination of an incredible amount of effort both from the candidates and our team. Seeing these talented JMOs, some having spent over two years in the Cameron-Brooks Development and Preparation Program, receive offers and make career decisions is nothing short of inspiring. It's not just about the job offers; it's about the journey. The relationships built. The challenges overcome. The lessons learned. Watching LinkedIn light up with posts from our alumni celebrating their new careers, surrounded by the support of their community, is one of the best parts of my job. To all the JMOs, client companies, and the entire Cameron-Brooks team—thank you for making another Career Conference a success! And most importantly, congratulations to the January 2025 Candidates and Companies! The Panel In this episode, I sat down with three recent Cameron-Brooks alumni who shared their firsthand experiences from the Career Conference and the critical “follow-up” process. They pulled back the curtain on what it was really like—insights, surprises, and everything in between. Meet the panel: Liam O'Hara, TransDigm Group, Inc. – Captain, Army Air Defense Frank Cebreros, Amcor – Captain, Army Armor Ty McAvoy, Civco Medical Solutions – LTJG, Surface Warfare Officer The "follow-up process" refers to the structured steps that take place after their Career Conference, where candidates interview with multiple companies in person or on-site with the objective to go deeper and learn more, and then secure offers. Once offers are in hand, they have the ability to evaluate options, compare, and then make the best decision for them based on: Fit! Career Goals Career Opportunities Nature of work Team Chemistry Culture Salary Location Topics of Discussion and Sample Questions Asked Here's a sneak peek of what we discussed and questions that were asked: Career Conference Statistics – January 2025 data Sample Opportunities – What industries and roles were available Best Interview Prep Tips & Techniques – What works Salary Expectations – Did the opportunities align with expectations? Why Cameron-Brooks? – The value of our partnership Hiring Manager Conversations – What to expect The Impact of Study Groups – How they drove preparation and confidence The Power of Community – Why going through this with a network matters How to Ace Your Interview – Actionable insights for success And much more! Key Themes Some of the key themes that emerged from our conversation were: 1.) The Power of Relationships – Your network is everything. Having a community that sharpens you, pushes you, and walks alongside you through this transition is invaluable. Study Groups, the Discord platform, follow-up trips—these relationships make all the difference. 2.) Applying the Reading Program – Books like Integrity Selling and Financial Intelligence weren't just theory—they shaped how these candidates approached their interviews and careers. Learning, applying, and operationalizing these concepts set them apart. 3.) The Follow-Up Team's Impact – There's an entire engine behind the scenes—coordinating logistics, travel, and on-site interviews. Field rides, plant tours, site visits—these aren't just meetings; they're opportunities to connect, learn, and solidify decisions. Final Thoughts These Career Conference recap conversations are a goldmine for those preparing for their own transition. Whether you're deep in the Development and Preparation Program or just starting to explore your options, learning from those who've walked this path before you is invaluable. If you're a JMO looking for answers, we're here to help. Cameron-Brooks has spent over five decades guiding military officers through one of the biggest transitions o...

Leaving the structured world of the military for the uncertainty of civilian life can be a daunting task. In this episode of the PCS to Corporate America Podcast, I speak with Mike Sweeney, a former Army junior military officer (JMO) who successfully navigated this transition over 20 years ago. Mike shares his insights and experiences on how defining goals, embracing preparation, and learning lead to career success.  He offers invaluable advice to those currently preparing for their own transition. The Importance of Preparation Mike emphasizes the importance of preparation, particularly when it comes to interviewing. Drawing parallels to the meticulous practice routine of comedian Jerry Seinfeld, Mike stresses the need for JMOs to practice and rehearse their interview responses and specifically highlights the need to master the answer to "Tell me about yourself.” This preparation helps build confidence and allows one to be authentic in the interview. Defining Your "Good Employment Offer" Beyond acing interviews, Mike encourages JMOs to define what constitutes a "good offer" for them. Rather than solely focusing on salary, he suggests considering factors like company culture, values, learning opportunities, team dynamics, and work-life balance. This personalized approach helps ensure alignment between individual aspirations and the chosen career path. Today, as a Leadership Coach, Mike encourages his clients to think about their career opportunities similarly. Embracing Lifelong Learning A key theme throughout the conversation with Mike is the importance of continuous learning and development. Mike is an avid reader and champions reading as a way to gain new perspectives, develop leadership skills, and cultivate a reflective mindset. He also says that, unlike when he and I transitioned 20+ years ago, to use other mediums like podcasts and videos for learning and self-development. The key is to be intentional and directed in consuming information that fosters growth. Mike's career is an excellent example of a successful transition from military to civilian life. His emphasis on preparation, thoughtful decision-making, and continuous learning provides valuable guidance for current JMOs navigating this significant life change. By engaging with resources like those offered by Cameron-Brooks and embracing a mindset of continuous growth, individuals can confidently embark on their post-military careers.
