“You don’t have to have it all figured out.”

Why? Because the path to the next career is rarely a straight line.

Our guest, Samantha (Sam) Gassman, told us how she went from being an AFSOC Navigator to becoming a Senior Manager of Communications for a Fortune 100 Company and a published author. Hint: She did not take a straight path to her current career.

Sam also told us about…

✅ Not Having a Clean Break

✅ Putting the Ego in Check

✅ From Service Member to MIL Spouse

✅ Developing Storytelling Skills

✅ Becoming an Author

...and much more.
