Turning Around Civilian Businesses with Jay Patterson

This week, Joe sits down with Navy Veteran, coach, consultant, and speaker, Jay Patterson. Jay, who enlisted in the Navy post-high school, served in the submarine force. After receiving a sudden 30-day notice of his military career's end, he swiftly scheduled interviews across the country. Jay candidly discusses the challenges he encountered during his transition, including the lack of a traditional degree to complement his extensive experience.
