Military skills such as strategic planning, leadership, discipline, and self-reliance are highly transferable to the business world. Veterans often excel in setting clear objectives, managing resources efficiently, and maintaining focus under pressure. Their experience in teamwork and mission-oriented thinking makes them adept at problem-solving and innovation. Additionally, the ability to adapt to changing circumstances and persevere through challenges equips veterans to navigate the complexities of entrepreneurship and business management effectively.

In this episode of Veteran Voices, host Mary Kate Soliva welcomes Ralph Asher, a Marine Corps veteran and entrepreneur to the show. Asher shares his journey from active duty to the reserves, his transition into civilian life, and his current role as a business owner. Listen in as they discuss the importance of strategic planning and self-reliance, the resources available to veterans interested in starting their own businesses, and how much mentorship and support can make a difference in the journey.
