The military is a unique institution that teaches discipline, teamwork, and decision making, as well as other skills that can be applied to civilian life. When leaving the military, it can be difficult to adjust to civilian life. Despite these difficulties, military service members can successfully transition into the civilian world by having the right tools and a positive mindset. In today’s episode of the Expert(ish) podcast, our guest, Greg Amorelli talks about the lessons he learned in the military and how he applied them to the civilian world, why it's better to make a bad decision than not to make one at all, and how growth comes from expanding past your comfort zone.

And I, a hundred percent believe that because I found that the more mistakes I've made, the faster I've made them, the better I've become." - Greg Amorelli 08:08 - "I think the majority of us, military or post-military, are people who have a mindset where we have to keep going, keep pushing forward. And I think there are goods and bads for that. Any success that I've developed right now is because I do have that mentality." - Greg Amorelli 13:24 - "When you start something out, there's a big difference between understanding where you want to be and where you can be." - Greg Amorelli 21:56 - "The concept of pulling from all these different locations, you don't have to do it all yourself. But if you know, just enough, to know how you utilize that asset, how you utilize that resource, how you utilize that employer and that coworker to the point where they can succeed in what they do best, which will make you succeed, then to me, that's the win." - Greg Amorelli 31:09 - "Make the best decision you can with the information you have and be good with it. The most dangerous thing you can do in the military is not make a decision. It's almost always a lot of cases and in a lot of situations, it's better to make the wrong decision than no decision." - Greg Amorelli Engage with Greg AmorelliLinkedIn Connect with Expert(ish) Podcast Host JAY JOHNSONCall (858) 925- 4536WebsiteLinkedInFacebookInstagram Listen to more episodes of the Expert(ish) PodcastiTunesSpotify
