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.

Making a career change can be difficult. It becomes more challenging when that process takes several months or, in many cases, years to navigate the bureaucracy of it all.

My guest on this episode is Kelly S. Thompson. Kelly is a former Logistics Officer in the Canadian Armed Forces who began writing about her military experiences in a blog for Chatelaine magazine. She wrote about those experiences again in her debut book, Girls Need Not Apply, which was published in 2019 by McClelland & Stewart, named a Globe and Mail Top 100 Book, and became an instant bestseller. Kelly teaches Creative Nonfiction at the University of King's College. Her most recent book, the memoir Still, I Cannot Save You, was published by McClelland & Stewart in 2023, and was also an instant bestseller. It was shortlisted for the 2024 Evelyn Richardson Non-Fiction Award. Rachel Matlow, author of Dead Mom Walking, wrote that “with this heartwrenching yet hopeful book, Kelly has turned her loss and grief into something beautiful.” Kelly and I talk about how her current writing practice is informed by her years in the military and by her experiences with chronic illness, about the worst response to her writing she has ever received, and about how publishing Still, I Cannot Save You has led to some expected, but no less agonizing difficulties with her extended family. A quick warning: this conversation covers some very difficult and traumatic territory, such as addiction and domestic abuse. This podcast is produced and hosted by Nathan Whitlock, in partnership with The Walrus. Music: "simple-hearted thing" by Alex Lukashevsky. Used with permission.
When I met David Van Bennekum on Linked In and he told me he'd written a self-help book on National Security, I thought ‘That's a bit unusual, followed by blimey he's got some guts … that's a challenging topic'. My curiosity was well and truly piqued though, so I had a look at his LinkedIn profile and saw that he was a former United States Marine Corps Infantry and Logistics Officer. He was a veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan and he'd retired from active service as a Lieutenant Colonel. Then I saw that besides that, he had a law degree and also a Masters in National Security Law from Georgetown University. He obviously had the knowledge, but as I messaged him back to find out more, I'm not going to lie … based on previous conversations with some ‘experts', I was fully expecting him to bore the pants off me! But … the opposite happened. When he started sharing about it, he didn't waffle on about facts and stats, no … he made me laugh and even better, gave me a light bulb moment about something truly important. And that's when I knew I had to get him on the show, because being able to make something complex, technical and difficult, engaging and relatable to an audience, is a key skill for writers and speakers. If you want to get a different perspective on how to make your subject more entertaining, then sit back and listen ‘cause you'll love this show. What you'll discover: Why David decided to write the first self-help book on National Security How he decided on the big idea of the book Why people are sceptical about it and how he addresses that. Why the six degrees of Kevin Bacon game is relevant to National Security David's definition of National Security and why he thinks it applies universally. What he means by ‘true community' How he approached making the topic entertaining and relatable, and why this was so critical. Some examples of his approach in action.

Kwayga, an online matching platform for national and international B2B buyers and suppliers within the food and beverage industry, today hosted a webinar that outlined the current projection of Ukraine's food supply chain and a 6-month outlook that included discussed opportunities for buyers and suppliers through digital supply chains in the food and beverage sector. Speakers at today's webinar included Taras Kachka, Deputy Minister of Trade Representative at the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine, Thérèse Healy, Ambassador of Ireland to Ukraine, Larysa Gerasko, Ambassador of Ukraine to Ireland, Andrii Sheveliev, Ukraine Export Lead for USAID. Mariia Dehtiarova, Export Promotion Manager at U-Food Association, as well as Derek Mc Guinness, Logistics Officer at the World Food Programme (United Nations) and Dmitry Miroshnikov, CEO at Ukraine Intensive Exports Program. The discussions centred around a number of topics that included the future of Ukrainian exports, supply opportunities within the Ukrainian Food and Beverage sector and the practicalities of sourcing from Ukraine in 2022 and beyond. Additionally, the country's application for EU membership was also analysed and the possibilities of growing the economy and opportunities presented to the state should their application be accepted. Before the war, Ukraine exported on average about 6 million tons of agri-commodities monthly to countries in the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. Currently, only about 15 to 20 percent of this volume can be exported via rail, Danube river, and trucks (about 700,000 tons in April 2022 and about 1 million tons in May 2022). Trade risks related to Russian exports have been increasing due to sanctions by various trade partners and banks. This led to price spikes and supply chain disruptions significantly undermining food security in poor importing countries. For example, global trade of cereals except rice is a little less than 20 percent of total world production (about 620 million of about 3.3 billion tons produced in 2020/2021). Total production is sufficient to feed all 8 billion inhabitants of the world, but production in semiarid countries is less and some countries are behind their potential. That's why trade plays an important role to balance global supply and demand. In the 2020/21 season, Ukraine provided 69.82 million tons (11.3 percent) of cereals to the world. Ukraine also exports oilseeds (sunflower, soybeans, rapeseed) with a well-established crushing industry to produce sunflower oil. Fifty-two percent of globally traded sunflower seed and oil came from Ukraine in 2020. Currently, edible-oil supply chains are disrupted and edible-oil prices have increased even higher than cereals prices. Speaking about today's webinar, MIke McGrath, COO and Co-founder of Kwayga said: “We were delighted to host this webinar and offer a unique insight into the current and projected outlook on the Ukrainian economy and its exports sector. We are also proud to play a small part in assisting the food and beverage industry in the Ukraine and opening up opportunities for suppliers in the region to export their products to new marketplaces across the world. We believe that technology can play a pivotal role in assisting Ukrainian businesses across all industries and sectors. I believe those of us who are in a position to assist the Ukraine, its people and its businesses, must act and do so and ensure that we support the country in its darkest hour of need.” Also commenting on today's webinar, Andrii Sheveliev, Ukraine Export Lead for USAID Economic Resilience Activity said, “It was great to speak today with Mike and many other experts, who are all working together to re-establish Ukraine's supply chains. What is important to remember is that in Ukraine this is not only grain and cooking oil. Our food sector has numerous modern manufacturers with great added value, cost and other advantages.” Derek McGuinness, Standby Partner at the World Food Programme said,...

Since the launch of our podcast, we have been talking to members of Military families about some of the unique challenges they have face living with a member of the Canadian Armed Forces. But what happens when there are two people in the family that are members of the Canadian Armed Forces? In this episode we are talking to a service couple about how they have managed to overcome some of those challenges - and some of the solutions that have helped them. In our discussion we talk about: the challenges of juggling two Military careers, what happens if two people are deployed at the same time, how life in a military family can affect children – and if being a Military member makes it easier – or harder – to be a Military spouse. About our guests:Melissa and Heath Bott are senior officers in the Canadian Armed Forces. Melissa as a Logistics Officer and Heath an Infantry Officer. Heath joined the military in 1997. And Melissa joined in 2001. They met when they were reservists with the Governor General Foot Guards. They got married in 2006. And in 2009, they transferred to the Regular Forces. Heath and Melissa have two children, a daughter who is 15 and a son who is 12. Since 2009, Heath and Melissa have relocated five times, most recently to Gagetown. Melissa has been deployed twice, once on OP Unifier in 2014 as part of the Theater Activation Team, and OP Impact roto 5/6 in 2016 17 in Kuwait. Heath has also deployed twice. Once as a Reservist to Bosnia in 2005 and a second time to Op Unifier in 2021. Melissa and Heath are currently Officer Commanding companies throughout their career they have learned with practice how to achieve a healthy work life balance. If you have questions for Heath or Melissa, please send us email and we will forward it to them. If you have ideas for an episode, we would love to hear them.

John Perez Cruz's mission is to help other veterans regain their sense of purpose and carve their own individual path to true fulfillment. John attended the US Naval Academy from 2010 to 2014. Upon graduation, he was commissioned as a 2ndLt in the US Marine Corps and was stationed in Twentynine Palms, California. He served as a Logistics Officer for 5 years on Active Duty until transitioning in 2019. After transitioning, he backpacked Europe, moved to Austin, Texas to learn guitar and songwriting in order to explore a latent passion in art, became a high school lacrosse coach, and worked as a management consultant in Washington, DC. He explored his newfound freedom and experimented with new identities. John struggled to find purpose and meaning through all the different journeys he took after leaving the military. He experienced bouts of depression, anxiety, and a general sense of ungroundedness or feeling lost. After years of exploring Jungian psychology, philosophers like Joseph Campbell and Alan Watts, and various plant medicines, he decided to invest in his self-development through coaching programs that completely changed his perspective. He now coaches others to cultivate new identities through somatic healing, language work, and restructuring beliefs.

The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
Scott McCarthy has been in the military for over 20 years and is a leadership expert. His leadership journey started when he was young and had the drive to take control of everything that he needed to be planned. Transferring these skills into the Canadian Army, Scott enrolled as a Logistics Officer in 2001 when he was selected to attend the prestigious Royal Military College of Canada. At the age of 24, Scott commanded an Army transport platoon comp comprising of 80 soldiers. At 33, he was selected to command a Logistics squadron of 200 members. As you can see, Scott knows how to compete as a high-performing leader and knows that leadership is a cycle. He understands how to build high-performing powerful teams, how to delegate as a leader to be a force multiplier, and is proficient in setting goals for high-achieving leaders. Today's show is about the simplicity of leadership and communication within marriage. We need to be clear about things that we want as men and husbands while also being servant leaders to our wives and what they need, want, and desire. A lot of men live in two camps when it comes to communication. We either throw ourselves on the sword for the sake of our wives and family, while feeling empty. We end up neglecting ourselves in a noble, selfless way without realizing it. On the other hand, we are extremely selfish and only think about ourselves. The goal of today's show is to explain the common ground between both of those camps where we support our families while also communicating what our needs are as a husband and father.

Why Listen: I'm so grateful for the opportunity to have this conversation with Alex. I reached out to him via LinkedIn because I saw he was in Denver, and he was a Marine who has done incredible things as an entrepreneur and basically treated this interview as part two of a conversation with him. Here's a couple of things that stood out to me that I hope you benefit from this interview. At one point, Alex says, I don't know anything, pay me and teach me. I think that's such a great thought as he was taking different jobs as he was starting his company; such a great way to approach anything, which is find something that can make money and teach you a skill set. I really appreciate his lessons on patience. You'll hear that in his 15-year journey of building up a real estate company that spans so many different functional areas now, but it wasn't an overnight success. He also talks about pounding the rock. It's not a single pound that cracks the rock. But it's the repeated relentless intention of showing up every day. I think there's a lot there that I can learn as well going along with that his story really has these threads of constant improvement. And I'm just appreciating his thoughts on inclusivity and how creating an incredible place to work really depends on understanding each unique person, their history, and what they're wanting out of life. And then you can create and craft an environment that's right for them. It was really powerful to think of that from a cultural standpoint. About Alex: Alex is the Chief Executive Officer at Cardinal Group Companies, a fully integrated real estate investment, construction development, marketing, and management firm specializing in opportunistic and value-added investments throughout the United States. Alex started out at Miami University after he served in the Marine Corps for four years as a Logistics Officer. He started the Cardinal Group out of the Marine Corps, and over the last 15 years, has bootstrapped his company. For those of you that are unfamiliar with that term, bootstrap means he did not bring on outside investment. He bootstrapped his covenant over 2100 employees, somehow finding time to earn an MBA at Chicago's Booth School of Business along the way.

Brandon was assigned to the second infantry division in South Korea and served as a platoon leader and communications officer. He has also served the 11th signal brigade at Fort Hood, Texas, including two deployments to Afghanistan as an Executive Officer, Logistics Officer, and Company Commander. Brandon talks about his time in the army and all the leadership positions he had when he was there, what led him to Haas, and the impact of all the current global issues on his family and how they deal with it. He also talks about the core values he shares with his children and how the pandemic didn't stop him from venturing into entrepreneurship. Lastly, he shares some parting words to the Haas community on fighting racism and other -isms and leaving this world a better place. Episode Quotes: --------------- "You're not going to love everyone you meet. You're not going to love everyone you work with. Obviously, there are going to be challenges, but generally, this is an environment where people want to see what your limit is, what's the sky for you, and try to support you in getting there with wherever you struggle." "I like to try to help people see a different perspective or think about their lives in the future. When I feel like I can provide insights, I can always try. I like to think about it, and I think it's challenging." "Everything is founded on honesty and truth. If you want to be someone that provides value, is respected, is looked up to, is thought of in a positive light, it starts with honesty and truth." "Whatever you do, you have to sow a good seed to reap the harvest. And if you're not willing to do that, then don't expect it." "If you're at Haas or you're associated with Haas, you have lots of privileges that others do not. And I feel like if we don't continue to try to use that privilege for good, to fight racism, to fight - there's a million -isms I could throw out there - find the -ism that you're passionate about and do use your privilege to fight that, to leave this world a better place."

This episode is a conversation with David Holland, Professor of Mathematics and Atmosphere/Ocean Science at New York University. David is one of the leading researchers into the mechanisms of glacier and ice-cap melting, working in both the Arctic and Antarctic. Along with his wife Denise who is the Field and Logistics Officer for David's team, David's work focuses on understanding ice melt and how it relates to the Ice caps in Greenland and the Antarctic. He uses Mathematics to model and predict how this melting will be affected by climate change. A native of Newfoundland, David was drawn to study ice by his passion for the Canadian national sport of Ice Hockey, but the discoveries he is making in his work have truly global implications. I travelled to the Jakobshavn Glacier in Greenland with David and Denise for a 2-hour NOVA special on Climate Change for PBS in the States, called Polar Extremes. David has a station there which measures the rate at which the Glacier is moving and helps him create models to apply to the Antarctic ice shelf melt. The conversation was recorded at the end of May, so the discussion reflects the context of Coronavirus at the time. David had only just got back from an aborted season in Greenland and was isolating, with the prospect of the Antarctic season being cancelled aswell. Despite those setbacks, David is a positive and engaging speaker about the science he works on. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did. Support this podcast

Show Notes "Every time you have to speak, you are auditioning for leadership." --James Humes Leadership matters and in this episode of The Entrepreneurial You podcast, Scott McCarthy tells us why. There are so many important elements to being an effective leader; it just doesn't happen by chance. Communication Here is a snippet of what she shared on this episode of the podcast: "Communication is key. If you can't communicate your intent, your own vision, what you want to achieve, it's going to fall apart. The other thing is being present, being seen you got to be able to show that you can do whatever it is that you demand of your people and I went extremely far with this. So when I was that transport platoon commander, (my job isn't to drive vehicles, it's not the drive to get in truck and drive the truck. But I did. I got into every piece of vehicle every piece of equipment that we owned and operated. Why? So that I had an understanding of what my guys would go through on a daily basis when they were operating that equipment. How difficult is it actually to move a semi, a tractor trailer that has a tank loaded onto the back of it. How difficult is it to move a bus, a refueling truck? Up here in Canada, snowplow, right? How difficult are those tasks to actually achieve? So that gives you actually a greater fidelity when people come to me like oh, we need this piece of equipment for this reason, actually understand quicker and then that shortens those timelines." ---- Hot Point: It is important to communicate with your team and to be very present with them.

Katie served in the United States Marine Corps for six years as a Logistics Officer from 2006-2012. She got out as a Captain. Two deployments: Iraq and a MEU (marine expeditionary unit). She left the military in 2012, moved to NYC to attend Columbia Business School. She has worked at a series of early-stage startups since getting her MBA. She started her own consulting company (KMH consulting) in 2018 and she enjoys working for herself. she provides operations, logistics, and supply chain support to early-stage companies. She is also working to build the Veteran Owned Collective, which is a platform and community to connect and empower veteran business owners. She lives in NYC. She found out about ROTC during college and decided to look into the Navy. She had a love for military history and loved that the military would pay for her schooling while she was working to become an officer so it was a great fit. She saw the Marine section of Navy ROTC as an elite group and she wanted to be a part of it so she switched the Marine Corps program at the end of her time at school. When she deployed to Iraq it was her first time leaving the United States. One of the hardest parts of her deployment was that she was very lonely. Being a female and an officer she felt she needed to keep a professional front at all times and it made the deployment experience difficult. She was able to meet up with people throughout the deployment to get through it and have a break, but it was still hard. Her second deployment was with a Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) which is a crisis response task force on a Navy ship. So, she was on a Navy ship and was working logistics and was part of the team ready to respond to various crises around the globe. She got to see a lot of the world and her favorite port she visited was Thailand. Before she left for her MEU deployment, she knew she was going to be getting out of the military when she returned home. So, she had applied to graduate school and found out two weeks before she shipped out that she would be attending Columbia in the fall. She was prepared for the transition out of the military, but it was hard to go from an extreme environment of go go go and being on to being a college student. That made the transition really hard. Two great resources we talked about available for veterans and military spouses for free are American Corporate Partners and Veterati. Both companies have mentorships available and connect people with someone who can help push you in the right direction or even find a new job. After graduating she worked for a handful of companies before becoming a consultant for various small businesses. She also is working to grow a group for veteran small business owners to support each other. It is called the Veteran Owned Collective and you can learn more about it here.
