“Nah man, it’s a Cran.”

–Rob Rens

Hello there, and welcome to Episode 2 of “Bullshit Sessions: Stupid Conversations for Smart People,” where our job is to bring you groundbreaking insight on inane topics purely for your entertainment. This shows where all topics are poorly researched, logical fallacies are encouraged, and laughs matter most.

This week we are discussing:

  1. Songs you wish would get played at dinner parties
  2. Where are the worst drivers in the world?
  3. Words that should be pronounced differently
  4. Cool shit happening in space

To help me with all of this, we have:

  • Co-Host and our resident thespian/comedian: J Kay Weldon
  • Co-Host and muscle junkie: Evan Anderson
  • Co-Host and noticeably absent insurance agent: Rob Rens (played by a potato)
  • Host and general dead weight: Carson Honeycutt

Remember, life can’t be all business all the time, and the only bullshit you should listen to is bullshit that brings you glee. So stick around and enjoy the show.

No veteran should feel like civilian life is purgatory. It’s my job to help professionally ambitious post-9/11 veterans avoid entrapment in transition purgatory by challenging the B.S. of Conventional Transition Wisdom.

I challenge the B.S. of Conventional Transition Wisdom by breaking down the mindsets, strategies, and tactics of world-class experts (Titans) to help veterans compress the transition learning curve.

Learning directly from Titans helps veterans escape entrapment by avoiding the costly mistakes encouraged by Conventional Transition Wisdom.

“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.

“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.
