Episode 32: Veteran Hiring with Ret. Lt. Col Kathy Gallowitz
Episode 32: Veteran Hiring with Ret. Lt. Col Kathy Lowery Gallowitz - Veterans face a number of challenges when re-entering the workforce after serving in the military, so making an effort to consciously employ veterans is a great way to thank them for their service. Businesses benefit greatly from hiring a veteran because of the knowledge and skills they acquired while serving in the military. Since hiring has been a popular issue since the pandemic, there appears to be a population of motivated workers who are not getting the attention they deserve, and that group includes our transitioning men and women of our armed forces. This episode features Retired Lt. Col Kathy Lowery Gallowitz, Author and Founder of Vanguard Veterans. After serving nearly 30 years in the Air Force as a nurse and public affairs officer, she continues to equip civilian employers on how to source, recruit, and retain veteran talent through her business Vanguard Veteran. She is also the author of “Beyond ‘Thank You for your Service,’: The Veteran Champion Handbook for civilians.” Her life’s work has led her to be a champion for all service members transitioning into civilian life and has been a great resource to the veteran community.

Episode 34: Embrace the Suck! A Conversation with Ret. Captain William Toti
Episode 34 is a conversation with Retired Captain William Toti discussing some tips and advice for transitioning vets and recruiters/companies looking to hire veteran talent. Embrace the suck? Find out more.... Are you in the #military looking to transition? Are you a #veteran that is now looking or currently working? Do you feel like you were given the right tools and advice to prepare you for a career in Corporate America? Bill is a former Commanding Officer of the USS Indianapolis and had a very decorated career in the Navy. After he left the military, he became the CEO of Sparton and has been on a mission to help veterans and business understand the value of hiring veteran talent. His book "From CO to CEO: A Practical Guide for Transitioning from Military to Industry Leadership" is out now! Some takeaways from this episode: * Bill says the military does not prepare its veterans well for industry, in fact "much of what they tell the Veterans in their transition is wrong." * (13:09): "Leadership is hard, but it's really hard when you're leading people who can actually quit." * (16:00): His advice is to start thinking about what you want to do next because, "it may be too late to make some of the big adjustments you need to make in order to compete effectively." * Why getting extra degrees might not be necessary, depending on what you want to do - "...it could be better spent in industry in a job getting experience that is going to make you promotable." * Why employers should rethink the term, "Thank you for your service" * Why hire veteran talent? (21:18): "...they're going to be wonderful employees with a great attitude, a lot of motivation and people that can put up with a great deal of hardship. In the military, we call it embracing the suck. In the the civilian world it’s called your belly that's the great thing about it." Bill is giving away digital copies of his book to 5 special listeners! You have to stay tuned to the end to find out how to get yours!
