  • The Power of Showing Up: 100 Days to Your New Self

    The Power of Showing Up: 100 Days to Your New Self
    Jan 22 2026
    In this milestone 100th episode of Veterans to Success, Joe takes a moment to pause and reflect on the journey of showing up consistently, even when no one is watching. Moving beyond the overnight success myth, Joe divulges his personal stories of resilience, from recovering after breaking his neck (twice) to overcoming the fear of starting this very podcast. He breaks down the psychology of consistency using his Pathfinder philosophy, offering listeners an 8-phase roadmap to achieve their goals. KEY TAKEAWAYS Motivation fluctuates, but consistency removes decision fatigue. By building a routine (a habit), you eliminate the need to constantly decide whether to act, making success a matter of discipline rather than feeling. Real change happens when you commit to something for 100 days. It's not about volume or intensity but about compounding small actions until the behavior becomes part of your identity. Just like athletes training in the dark or entrepreneurs working before their breakthrough, true growth occurs when no one is clapping. You must learn to start without applause and persist without immediate feedback. BEST MOMENTS "Today isn't a finish line, it's a checkpoint. A chance for us to look back with honesty and forward with intention." "No person steps in the same river twice, because it is not the same river and they are not the same person." "You don't rise to the level of your goals; you fall to the level of your standards."

  • Valerie Orman's Journey of Service and Resilience

    Valerie Orman's Journey of Service and Resilience
    Jan 15 2026
    Today, Joe interviews Valerie Orman, a former Navy officer with a remarkable journey from a small town in Maryland to a distinguished 25-year career in the military. Valerie shares her early influences, including her family's military background, and recounts her decision to join the Navy after college, driven by a desire for stability and adventure. As she navigates her career, she discusses the challenges and triumphs of being a woman in a predominantly male environment during the 1980s and 90s, including the integration of women into combat roles. KEY TAKEAWAYS The decision to join the military was significantly influenced by family history, with a strong legacy of military service on both sides, including connections to the British Navy and Army. Having mentors at various levels can greatly impact career development. Mentors can provide guidance, support, and opportunities that help individuals navigate their careers more effectively. The journey in the military can lead to unexpected roles and responsibilities. Being open to change and willing to take on new challenges can lead to fulfilling career advancements, such as transitioning from public affairs to intelligence. The integration of women into combat roles marked a significant change in the Navy, leading to new opportunities and challenges. The experiences of women during this transition highlight the importance of resilience and adaptability in overcoming obstacles. Taking initiative to address issues, such as improving the quality of intelligence reports, can lead to recognition and advancement. Being proactive in identifying and solving problems is crucial for career growth and success. BEST MOMENTS "I had a double degree in English and mass communication. I was kind of flabbergasted because I had had good grades, but my parents were both New Yorkers and very, very much influenced those decisions too." "I think the lessons are more poignant, you learn that you say, I'm not going to do that again. I'm going to ask some better questions." "There were those who still didn't believe we belonged there. But the ones who didn't see it that way far outnumbered those people." "What do you think causes that? I could understand or appreciate that if you had dinosaurs between say 1982 and 1992, but from what you say, there are still some of those characters in now." "It was a very interesting time because during the early 80s, the Navy realised that it had a certain number of women, but it had a very small number of women officers."

  • How Elaine Transformed Her Life Through the Invictus Games and Warrior Games

    How Elaine Transformed Her Life Through the Invictus Games and Warrior Games
    Jan 8 2026
    In this episode, Joe engages in a heartfelt conversation with Elaine Hanson, who shares her extraordinary journey from a childhood shaped by fostering to a career in the military and beyond. Elaine reflects on her upbringing, the challenges of being a foster sibling, and the lessons learned about compassion and resilience. She recounts her military experience, including her time in the Women's Royal Army Corps and the abrupt end to her service due to a serious injury. KEY TAKEAWAYS The journey highlights the importance of resilience in overcoming personal and professional challenges, such as injuries and relationship issues. The ability to view setbacks as opportunities for growth is emphasised. Growing up in a foster care environment provided valuable lessons about compassion and understanding the complexities of childhood trauma, shaping a perspective that recognises the struggles of others. The transition from civilian life to military service and back again illustrates the significance of adaptability. Experiences in the military, including basic training and various roles, contributed to personal development and a sense of purpose. The struggle with physical and mental health issues, including cauda equina syndrome and functional neurological disorder, underscores the importance of seeking help and understanding one's health conditions over time. Participation in programs like Battle Back and Invictus Games demonstrates how sports can play a crucial role in recovery and rehabilitation, fostering community, resilience, and personal achievement. BEST MOMENTS "I was kind of in a bit of shock because at the time my brother wasn't born. I had my mum and dad to myself for six years." "I think it taught me a really good lesson. Not all kids have an idyllic childhood. Children have trauma, and it's more common than you could ever think of." "What was going on in your life then? It must have been horrific." "I didn't know what to do. I was upset about it. I pleaded with them to keep me in, but at that time they didn't do that." "I consider it as a challenge. I think you've got to be resilient and look at things outside the box."
