\\u201cI want to help people get to know what they really want to do in life. I struggled with it, and most veterans have a lot of issues transitioning. Whether it\\u2019s one person a day or one person a month, I just want to be able to help people.\\u201d

As a civilian, it can be truly difficult to understand what our nation\\u2019s veterans and first responders have in their DNA that compels them to run towards danger to help, that makes them want to give everything they can for the common good. I had the honor of having Chris Jackson, US Army veteran and law enforcement officer, on my Make Your Mark podcast, and to hear his story and how he\\u2019s looking to improve the lives of veterans and civilians every day.

\\u201cI didn\\u2019t feel like I was fulfilling my need to give back in any way while I was in the trucking industry - \\xa0you know when you\\u2019re in the military you\\u2019re serving your nation. Trucking was lonely and a lifestyle I didn\\u2019t want to be in anymore. I realized I wanted to get back into law enforcement, and I wanted to get back into something that helps people.\\u201d

Chris was one of thousands of young men and women who were compelled on 9/11/01 to join the military, and soon after his 18th birthday, he enlisted in the Army. Eight years in the service, including a year in Iraq, cemented his continued interest in service. He tried his hand at trucking, but shifted back into service, this time for several years as a deputy in the Sheriff\'s office in Ohio. Now he is taking his life lessons, along with his experience with running businesses, and is working with veterans to get them the guidance that is so often lacking.

\\u201cThe only thing you\\u2019re concerned about when you land is \\u2018I want to go home\\u2019. You\\u2019ve spent a year in Iraq and all you can think is \\u2018I want to see my family\\u2019. But once you settle back down, you immediately think, \\u2018What do I do next?\\u2019\\u201d

Chris and I cover so much ground in our episode, including the importance of being prepared for the transition between military and civilian life. This episode may have been the most advice ever offered to our listeners, you should catch it in its entirety!

For veterans and athletes, you\\u2019ve got a certain set of skills. Define what your passion is and how to offer solutions to other people.\\u201d
