On this week's episode, I have the pleasure of sitting down with my first military officer and my first Coast Guard member! Killing two birds with one stone on this one.
\nTravis Collier is an Instructional Designer, Military Transition Advisor. Active USCG Officer, and Graduate of the US Coast Guard Academy. Travis has a unique perspective in the realm of transitioning and preparing for this chapter that comes to all of us, whether we are ready for it or not!
