On this episode of Return to Base, we teamed up with Eric Horton and Michele Olive.
Eric Horton retired from the U.S. Army after 26 years as a logistician. As he was experiencing his transition into the civilian world he was forced to take stock of what really mattered to him. It took pulling over on the side of the interstate and making the decision to leave a toxic job to lead him to where he is today, the Executive Director of Veteran Service for the State of Tennessee. Along the way, Eric networked, discovered the power of LinkedIn, and has helped thousands of veterans through his transition hacks. He’s a great friend and an invaluable asset to veterans all over the world.
Michele “One L” Olive is the Sr. Director of Alumni Engagement at the Commit Foundation. Through the Commit Foundation, Michele has encouraged hundreds of veterans to discover
WHO they think they are as they navigate through the world of military transition. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker she worked at a military base in Virginia where she discovered a passion for helping servicemembers.
