#13 How to build something bigger than yourself with John Allen The Venture Life with Riley McGhee

Former Navy SEAL John Allen credits much of his success (and his life) to having the help and support of a strong and capable team around him, but it wasn’t always smooth sailing.

From barely getting into college to taking a grenade in combat, it’s fair to say John has had his share of road bumps.

After being injured fighting in Afghanistan, John was unexpectedly medically retired and left desperately searching for what his next steps might be.

A chance encounter with the future co-founder of Elite Meet led to scaling a single networking event into an organization that has provided hundreds of other Veterans with new career opportunities, connecting them with high level potential employers.

But it’s actually what John doesn’t do that may be the biggest reason he’s found success.
