In Aviation, when flying high, everything seems so distant, but as you descend to the ground, you establish a more common sight picture. This philosophy can be used for the military transition. The intent is to provide transition lessons and skills, share success stories, identify skills as they apply by MOS to the business world and allow organizations to share key skills necessary for common openings. The end state is a bridged communication gap between hiring and HR managers/talent acquisitions and the transitioning service member. A reference for both sides to visit!

Tom Coyle discusses side gigs without being an "Entrepreneur"
Tom Coyle (https://www.linkedin.com/in/tom-coyle-231a4928/) has many side gigs, but really they are passions. He has turned is hobbies into income. These are not the side gigs that take away from your personal life (like being an entrepreneur) to make money, but rather supplement your personal life with added income with hobbies and interests you already have. Tom thought he would be career military, but his side hobbies in music allowed him to start moonlighting in the industry. He realized he enjoyed some of those freedoms and control he had lost in the military. Music was an escape for him and he and his band was found on what he called "dumb luck" of being seen when all he was doing was having fun! Unfortunately his contract fell through, but he realized he wanted a change from the military and began his transition with the State Department. With his military and foreign experience, and love of leadership, he decided to launch a side business called "Adventures in Leadership" that focused on youth leadership fundamentals much like the army had trained him (think leaders reaction courses). This culminated with a trip to the Gettysburg battlefield to talk leadership, not tactics. With his constant trips, studies and interests of leadership at Gettysburg, he decided to write a book. Which again, started out as a hobby (an E-Book), turned into a paperback edition. "Leadership Lesson from the Battle of Gettysburg." He he focused a lot on the technological changes that the leaders failed to adapt to...which you guessed it, increased his interest in technology. And as he read up on technology, "dumb luck" would have it again, that he has landed another side hustle in hologram development. Some of this was deliberate and some was "dumb luck," but the point is he research and connected with his interests and those who had like interests. And when asks, does this take away from his family? He states, "No, he does it on his free time and needs them to stay sane!" Other references not mentioned; Fiverr.com, upwork.com, and udemy.com
