“What I tell people right now is that I’m a special operations warrior pretending to be a venture capitalist.”

– Glenn Cowan

Hello everyone, welcome to Episode #28 of the “Spotlight Podcast: Success Stories for Veterans” where it is our job to breakdown and analyze Titans in both the military and civilian communities to discover their tactics, mindset, and systems so that you can apply them to your life, and your transition. Those titans range from NYT best-selling authors to former heads of state, to other divergent thinkers who dominate their field by challenging conventional wisdom.

Today we are interviewing Glenn Cowan.

Glenn’s time in the military was spent serving in Canada’s National Mission Unit. Since leaving the military Glenn, like many of us, bounced around for a little bit before he decided to jump into venture capitalism. He now runs his own firm One 9 Investments while simultaneously raising two daughters and working as a Contributor and Speaker with the Talent War Group.

So how does Glenn do it? Listen and find out. 

P.S. Check out Glenn’s two favorite non-profits: V-42 Foundation and Warrior Adventures Canada.

“Finding balance is being okay with a constant state of imbalance.”

– Lisa Jaster

Hello everyone, welcome to Episode #27 of the “Spotlight Podcast: Success Stories for Veterans,” where it is our job to breakdown and analyze Titans in both the military and civilian communities to discover their tactics, mindset, and systems so that you can apply them to your life, and your transition. Those titans range from NYT best-selling authors to former heads of state, to other divergent thinkers who dominate their field by challenging conventional wisdom.

Today we are interviewing Lisa Jaster.

Lisa was also a 2015 Ranger School graduate, and I discovered Lisa through her work with the Talent War Group. I invited her to come to the show because I was impressed by how many projects she is working on while still performing high. On top of everything else she does, Lisa is still serving as a reserve engineer battalion commander. 

Lisa also walked away from a lucrative career in Houston to take the risk of pursuing the life she really wanted. That move has opened the opportunity for Lisa to work on her #1 Project #DeleteTheAdjective.

“When you’re transitioning it’s like everything sounds interesting but nothing sounds interesting, and you realize you’re qualified for everything and nothing all at the same time.”

– Garret Harrell

Hello everyone, welcome to Episode #26 of the “Spotlight Podcast: Success Stories for Veterans,” where it is our job to breakdown and analyze Titans in both the military and civilian communities to discover their tactics, mindset, and systems so that you can apply them to your life, and your transition. Those titans range from NYT best-selling authors to former heads of state, to other divergent thinkers who dominate their field by challenging conventional wisdom.

Today we are interviewing Garret Harrell.

Garret’s transition began when he left the Marine Raiders after over 20 years in the Corps. Garret is a transition unicorn because he was able to amass business acumen very quickly. Garret has been able to leverage that acumen to begin working for himself. 

So how does Garret do it? Listen and find out.
