“We keep focusing on our damage instead of focusing on our potential.”

– Carson Honeycutt

Carson Honeycutt

Founder

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.

“Ultimately it’s not about the pursuit of money, it’s about the pursuit of impact.”

-Michael Sarraille

Hello everyone, welcome to Episode #25 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 best-selling authors to former heads of state, to other divergent thinkers who dominate their field by challenging conventional wisdom.

Today we are interviewing Michael Sarraille.

Michael got his start in the military as a Force Recon Marine, eventually crossing over to the Navy to become a SEAL. After getting out, Michael ran into many of the same issues many veterans face: debt, divorce, and an unsatisfying career. Now Michael is the CEO of EF Overwatch and co-author of an Amazon best-selling book: The Talent War. 

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

So how does Nate do it all? Listen and find out.
