What if your military experience could land you a job that pays significantly more than your peers? Join us as we chat with Jonathan Newby, a Marine Corps veteran who served from 2004 to 2009. Jonathan's complex role as a CH-53 Power Plant Mechanic taught him invaluable lessons that have carried over to his post-military life, and he shares how he was able to leverage his experience to secure a great-paying job.

Navigating the transition from military to civilian life can be challenging, but in this conversation, Jonathan shares his insights on the importance of timing and networking. He also discusses how he used his GI Bill to attend the University of Georgia and land an internship that led to a job offer. We dive into the difficulties of replacing the camaraderie of the military and Jonathan's aspirations for the future, including his plans to start a real estate empire and leverage his VA loan.

Dealing with the VA can be a daunting process, but persistence pays off. In this episode, we discuss the benefits of third-party services that can help veterans navigate the system and even bump up their disability ratings. Jonathan shares his experience with a fee-based service and highlights the importance of chasing the American dream by taking advantage of programs available to start businesses, network, and share advice with fellow veterans. Listen in and learn how you, too, can leverage your military experience to create success in your civilian life.
