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 transition—from a medical retirement and a bruising run through corporate investigations to a faith-led rebuild as a multi-stream entrepreneur, husband, and father of three. It’s a story about identity, not just income, and about the quiet moments where surrender becomes strategy.
George walks us through growing up in a military family, the grit forged in high school and college football, and the pride and pain of watching his brother deploy to Afghanistan. He shares the shock of corporate culture—constant pressure, zero loyalty—and how commission-only work forced new habits, sharper skills, and a relentless focus on residual income. We explore his role in merchant services, partnerships that only win when clients win, and the practical reasons every professional should diversify revenue long before they need to.
The heartbeat of this conversation is brotherhood and belief. George describes a cliffside moment in Palos Verdes where he handed control to God, and the Caveman Combine in the mountains of Georgia—three days of rain, rivers, ropes, and team-first tests that ended with a hand-built cross carried across the line. We get real about men’s mental health, veteran stigma, and the lifesaving power of honest friends. Along the way, we challenge a cultural habit of downplaying our own worth and remind each other that service—at home, at church, at work—is how meaning compounds.
If you’re navigating burnout, career change, or the nagging sense that you’re meant for more than a title, this one will hit home. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs a lift, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway—we read every word.
