This episode of Kling Connection welcomes the incredibly dynamic Jessica Odell, whose life story reads like an adventure novel. Join us as Jessica takes us on a captivating journey through her 15 years as a US Army Intelligence Officer, rising to Senior Major and serving at the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Beyond her distinguished military career, Jessica's early life as a "military brat" and her extensive service postings laid the foundation for a lifetime of global exploration. From living in Hawaii and immersing herself in Spanish culture as a foreign exchange student, to her time in South Korea and Afghanistan, and travels to places like Qatar and Peru, her experiences within diverse cultures, including Arab communities, are truly fascinating.
In a remarkable pivot, Jessica transitioned in 2019 from the world of defense to become a Public Insurance Adjuster, a role where she fights for policyholders. This episode delves into how her diverse background, sharp intellect, and commitment to "the underdog" seamlessly translated into her current profession. Now, having settled on 20 acres to homestead, Jessica reflects on a life filled with incredible experiences, proving that her insatiable curiosity and engaging personality make her one of the most interesting people you'll meet. Get ready for a profound and entertaining conversation!
