Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Viewpoint 38: William Toti
Q: Who is the primary audience for your book and how do you reach them?
The primary audience includes transitioning service members and the employers who hire them; the strategy evolved to focus on employers to scale impact, since they can influence large numbers of hires rather than addressing individuals one by one.
Viewpoint 38: William Toti
Q: What inspired you to write From CO to CEO?
The book started as a practical compilation of what veterans actually need to know to transition, revealing that military training often overestimates civilian usefulness and that a structured guide was necessary to bridge that gap for both individuals and employers.
Viewpoint 37: Rob Campbell
Q: Any advice for those people thinking of joining the military, in any sector?
Go for it. It's one of the best decisions you can make; it strips you of self-centeredness and teaches you to work as part of a team, setting you up for long-term personal and professional benefits.
Ep 054: SSgt Jo Hursey - British Army (RLC) Veteran
Q: What advice would you give to veterans?
Prepare to be disappointed when transitioning to civilian life and to work hard, as the support you had in the Army may not be available outside.
Ep 054: SSgt Jo Hursey - British Army (RLC) Veteran
Q: What advice can you share for anyone thinking of joining the military?
I would say do it. If I could do my time all over again, I would do it in a heartbeat. Get a trade that you can do when you get out.
