Podcast appearances and mentions of matt louis

Where Matt Louis's previous book MISSION TRANSITION  focused on transitioning servicemen and women by giving them an essential career-change guide for avoiding false starts and making optimal career choices following active duty.   Matt's new book HIRING VETERANS flips to the other side of the same coin and focuses on the organizations and companies hiring said veterans.   Every year, about a quarter of a million veterans leave the military - most of whom are unprepared for the transition. These service members have developed incredible leadership, problem-solving, and practical skills that are underutilized once they reach the civilian world, a detriment to both themselves and society.   HIRING VETERANS makes the clear case for the value of employing members of today's military community. Veterans represent a real-time talent pool of experienced, trained, and dedicated professionals that, when properly harnessed, comprise an instant means of improving a company's competitiveness and productivity. Case studies of organizations both large and small clearly demonstrate how leveraging a veteran talent-based strategy is a business imperative resulting in organizational growth.   Matt is also the President of Purepost, a next-generation staffing solution and public benefits corporation whose goal is to level the playing field in the nation's talent market.   Purepost - https://www.purepost.co/   Matthew Louis - https://matthewjlouis.com/   Hiring Veterans - https://matthewjlouis.com/hiring-veterans/   Mission Transition - https://matthewjlouis.com/mission-transition/   Support this podcast:   Thank you to our sponsor: Tobacco Free Adagio Health: https://tobaccofree.adagiohealth.org/   The Scuttlebutt is now on Wreaths Across America Radio.

How do we help the most vulnerable build on their own strengths? Families in Transition-New Horizons founder and president Maureen Beauregard and Moxy chef and owner Matt Louis join host Billy Shore for the second live episode recorded at the Music Hall Loft in Portsmouth, NH, to talk about addiction, mental health, homelessness, and the role healthy food can play for those who are struggling. “When we look at hunger and homelessness, we need to look at the ‘why’ of it and stop judging and calling people names. Can we build on their strengths?,” asks Beauregard. Louis makes it point to use his strengths for good causes. “Always say yes. For whatever reason, the world has made [chefs] more popular then we should be. But it’s a very powerful place to be if you can harness that and use it the right way,” he explains. Beauregard recounts her own powerful story of perseverance growing up in the foster care system and how it drives her work with Families in Transition-New Horizons. “I can remember what it felt like to be hungry, to be lonely, and it leaves such a hollow feeling inside,” she recalls. Louis applies the same values to his restaurants and the people who work for him. “How can I make their quality of life better while retaining them in what can be a very challenging industry?,” he asks. Feel the emotion of this personal and heart-felt discussion that illustrates the impact we can have on solving hunger and homelessness.
