I had the opportunity to sit down with K.L. Allen of Western Governors University (WGU) for a powerful conversation about education, service, and opportunity.
Growing up with parents who instilled the value of education and life skills, K.L. carried those lessons into his own military service, and now into his work supporting veterans and adult learners. He knows firsthand the challenges veterans facetransitioning to civilian life, from navigating the GI Bill to finding flexible, affordable education that truly fits their needs.
In our conversation, K.L. shares how WGU’s competency-based model empowers veterans tosucceed, and we explore the role of mentorship, affordable tuition, and personalized support in breaking generational cycles and transforming lives.
This Thursday, I’ll be at the WGU Elevating Impact Event in Boston to learn more about how WGU is building pathways for veterans to achieve their goals.

A big thank you to K.L. for joining me on this episode!
