Steve here from BTU. I live in Huntsville, AL and I’m trying to help the Chamber of Commerce connect with E-6 and below service members that are within 18-24 months of their transition window; that can be either be pre or post transition.
The Huntsville Chamber of Commerce is looking to connect via Zoom with soon to transition or recently transitioned junior/mid enlisted service members to pick their brains about transition, what jobs transitioning service members are looking for, what's important to them, what marketing material lands with them, etc.
Basically, there's a huge manufacturing labor shortage in the US and Huntsville has a lot of that manufacturing. The chamber is trying to figure out how to attract enlisted military talent that could step into high paying manufacturing jobs right out of transition after a little bit of training. For example, its entirely within the realm of possibility for an E5 to be starting a manufacturing job here making $100k; the problem is service members don’t know about the opportunities and local companies with manufacturing openings are struggling to connect with the ideal E-6 and below service member workforce.
My ask: do you know of anyone in your network who is an E-6 or below within 18-24 months of their transition window (either be pre or post-transition)?
If so and they’re interested, feel free to email me at steve@beyondtheuniform.org.

This is part two of a book review of Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman.
I've read a lot of books on productivity, and this is by far one of the best I've read. Because it takes a completely different approach to our view of time and how to get things done. 

I recently read a book that I love: Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman.
I've read a lot of books on productivity, and this is by far one of the best I've read. Because it takes a completely different approach to our view of time and how to get things done. 
In this episode, I go through a tactical list he includes in the book about 10 Tools for Embracing Your Finitude. I hope this helps you as much as it helped me. 

I've interviewed 510+ top performers. Here are five characteristics I've seen them share:

He shares some crazy stories about how his side hustles (6+) led to his eventual founding of Gridwise, which has raised over $20M in funding to date.
