Matt Louis is one of the nation’s leading experts in career transition for veterans and public service professionals. In this powerful episode, Matt explains why so many of us struggle with life's transitions - military or civilian - and how we can best prepare for them ahead of time, what to look for during major life transitions to make the experience more bearable, and how to even establish your own support system. Matt coaches individuals on their transition efforts and advises employers on hiring programs designed to successfully assimilate these valuable talent pools. He is the author of the forthcoming HarperCollins book "Mission Transition", a practical guide for veterans in transition and their employers.
