6ers, there is a common misconception that military skillsets are not transferable skills to the civilian workforce. This is far from the truth. The underlying problem is actually in the translation of military skillset and how it fits in a civilian role. What this means is that your responsibility is to learn how to communicate the value of your military experience.

This week, Tony Nash is joined by Jed Richard, a veteran, and a general contractor. Jed is also the president of Richard Group, a building and civil General Contracting & Construction Services Company based in Glenview, Illinois. He graduated from West Point in 2004, the same year he enlisted in the Army as a commissioned officer. Jed retired from the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team in 2009 with the rank of Captain.

You will learn about how bringing authenticity and transparency to your business can help you form a strong team and loyal customers. Business and growth are through people aligned with your vision and company culture. A strong team fosters cooperation and increases productivity while loyal customers become a profitable relationship.

By the end of the episode, you’ll gain a new understanding of how you can leverage your existing and unique veteran skill sets for your entrepreneurial journey. It starts with gratitude and having the grit to bootstrap your way up through the arsenal of skills you may already have.
