A steady paycheck can hide a deeper problem: when the badge comes off, who are you without the brotherhood? We sit down with former Federal Air Marshal George Gammon to unpack the messy, human side of career transitionโfrom a medical retirement and a bruising run through corporate investigations to aโฆ
Most people think career change is about money. This conversation is about identity.

Growth doesnโt just change you... it changes how people relate to you. Sometimes that support you once had turns into confusion, resistance, or even resentment. Have you experienced this? #ChoosingGrowth #LevelingUp #HardTruths #SettingBoundaries
One thing Iโve learned over the years is this: we donโt go through hard things just for ourselves. At some point, sharing what youโve lived might help someone else make a better turn. Whatโs one lesson youโve learned thatโs worth sharing?
When experience, education, and lived reality are shared on social media, the impact can go far. In this episode, Eleni and I talk about military families, behavioral health, real resources, and what it looks like to step up and serve in meaningful ways. ๐ง Full conversation available wherever you getโฆ

Growth isnโt found in shortcuts. Itโs found in the uncomfortable, messy, hard moments we donโt want to sit in, but do anyway. ๐ Whatโs something you survived that made you stronger? - - - - - ๐ง This clip comes from the most recent episode of The Morning Formation podcast:โฆ
Eleni is a veteran, military spouse, and licensed clinical social worker.

Thereโs nothing wrong with wanting to serve. There is risk in going in uninformed. Before you sign up, don't forget to: ๐ชTalk to people whoโve lived it. โAsk what the job looks like in real life. ๐คThink about where you want to be in five or ten years. And thenโฆ
This advice applies no matter where you are in your military journey. Education, savings, and building a foundation before transition can change everything after the uniform comes off.

Iโm grateful I was born in the USA. Not because itโs flawless, but because I understand how rare opportunity actually is when youโve seen life elsewhere. I think this may be true for many of us military veterans who have traveled the world and have seen just how difficult lifeโฆ

Sometimes we normalize things that shouldnโt be normal. I recently sat down with Eleni Veneris-Whitehead.

Thereโs a lot about my childhood I donโt talk about publicly. Growing up in a military family meant instability behind closed doors, and it showed up in school, in focus, and in ways most people never saw. Tomorrowโs episode with my guest, Eleni Veneris-Whitehead, dives into the home front sideโฆ
Looking back, it wasnโt about the episodes... It was about the conversations. Not every guest is shown here, but every conversation mattered.
