When we transition out of the military we can lose
our sense of curiosity, silliness, and ability to adapt to the
individual needs of each individual. Coming from a military
institution where everything is uniform, highly regulated, and
structured how do you find that love and joy in serving people's
individual needs?
In this episode, Daris Mcinnis, will share his journey into the
education field after being an ordnance logistics officer in the
United States Army, what he learned about himself, and how veterans
can bring the missing leadership needed inside the education
industry.
