It was so good to connect with Ben, a fellow likeminded Veteran and Entrepreneur. He revived my interest in the power or Networking with the Veterati community and beyond. The last 18 months have been a bit stagnant on the networking front, and I came away from our discussion with actionable items and a renewed belief that I am on the right path. I was just in a valley and not able to see the sunset from the mountain top. His story is a great one, and it has reminded me that my own story isn't complete. I'm stoked to drop by the tasting room and continue with this discussion. Thank you Veterati, and thank you Ben for your time today.

Thankfully Ben is willing to share his experience from his time of leaving military life to present. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience in the right moves and what he would have done differently. Use other people's experiences to help set your path.

Benjamin's story in entrepreneurship is really inspiring! I enjoyed learning more about his experience and he gave me good jumping off points for exploring this area more. Thanks for a great mentoring session, Benjamin!
