What happens when you combine a veteran's service background, a transition to the construction industry, and the power of humility? You get an intriguing conversation with Dan Bradley, the CEO of CATI Striping and Coating. Our chat covers Dan's Air Force history as a Tactical Air Control Party liaison, his unique bond with service members, and even a bit about the new Guy Ritchie movie on JTACs and TACPs.
Switching gears, we touch on Dan's move from the military to construction, exploring the challenges, opportunities, and the unexpected role of a 2020 basketball game in this transition. We also delve into the cream of the crop in terms of what recruiters are searching for, and how exiting the military opens unique doors. But it's not all about construction - we discuss the potential for veterans to achieve success across industries, and how humility, teamwork, and cultural fit are crucial elements in this journey.
Lastly, we wrap up with practical insights for veterans considering a move into the construction industry. Dan generously shares lessons from his own mistakes and emphasizes the importance of surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals. So if you've ever wondered about the transition from military to civilian life, or are curious about the potential veterans bring to any industry, this conversation with Dan Bradley is a must-listen. It's about more than just building structures - it's about building a fulfilling and successful post-military life.
