This week we’re talking with retired Army Colonel and legendary Ranger Platoon Commander, Larry Perino. Today he’s AVP, Commercial and Small Business, Business Solutions, Navy Federal Credit Union, where he helps veterans achieve their small business dreams. However, we begin with a deeply personal look at his career. Perino will be remembered forever as one of the elite Army Rangers who fought in The Battle of Mogadishu. Documented in the famous film Blackhawk Down and most recently in the Netflix documentary, Surviving Blackhawk Down, Perino offers a first-hand perspective on that fateful day in Somalia, in 1993. Perino also shared the lessons our military learned from that deadly day. And we hear how he discovered a new mission, helping veterans launch their own small business with financial services from Navy Federal Credit Union. Colonel Perino reveals small business lending tips and shares how business owners can use Navy Federal to help grow businesses of all sizes.
