This episode of Veteran On the Move features a conversation with coach and speaker Dan Gordon. After weathering the storm of losing his marketing company, Dan embarked on a transformative journey. He rebuilt his self-esteem and confidence and started professional speaking and coaching. The discussion delves into the unique advantage veterans possess – an inherent drive and motivation often more valuable than acquired business skills. Dan shares with Joe the critical mistakes entrepreneurs often make and emphasizes the importance of managing stress response. By conquering their fears, entrepreneurs, much like veterans, unlock their potential to become the best versions of themselves.
