Explicit content warning
07/27/20 • 59 min
Justin Constantine is a retired lieutenant colonel in the United States Marine Corps and a former attorney. While deployed to Iraq as a Civil Affairs officer attached to a Marine infantry battalion for OIF in 2006, he suffered a gunshot wound to the head, from which he made a miraculous recovery.
Justin works as an inspiration speaker and leadership consultant and serves as a liaison between the corporate and military communities. He is currently the chief business development officer at JobPath, a tech firm that helps with veteran recruitment and retention. In 2015, Constantine co-founded the Veteran Success Resource Group, a military nonprofit aimed at supporting veterans in their transition to the private sector. Constantine was also one of the wounded warriors painted by former President George W. Bush in his book "Portraits of Courage"
Justin was a wonderful guest and is a true advocate for veterans. I hope you enjoy the show.
