    Connecting Veterans with Opportunities in the Civilian World
    2025/11/13
    In this episode, Joe speaks with Gareth, a former military officer who transitioned from the British Army to the Australian Army and then back to civilian life. Gareth shares his journey from growing up in a military family in Devon to serving in various roles, including a pivotal position as a company commander in Afghanistan. He discusses the challenges of transitioning to civilian life, the importance of networking, and the value of transferable skills gained from military service. KEY TAKEAWAYS Transitioning from military to civilian life can be difficult, as individuals may struggle with the shift in responsibility and decision-making authority. It's important to recognize and navigate these challenges effectively. Building and utilising a strong network is crucial for veterans. Engaging with fellow veterans and leveraging connections can open doors to job opportunities and support during the transition process. Veterans possess valuable skills and a unique mindset that can be highly attractive to employers. It's essential to articulate these skills effectively and demonstrate how they can solve problems within an organisation. Taking initiative and being proactive in seeking opportunities is vital. Whether considering a career change or facing personal challenges, acting decisively can lead to positive outcomes. There is a strong sense of camaraderie among veterans, and many are willing to help one another. Creating supportive communities, like Veterans Can, can inspire and empower veterans to succeed in their post-military lives. BEST MOMENTS "I think that schools for some people are not for everyone. I loved school, but maybe I just wasn't great at sitting down and learning stuff I didn't really think I'd ever need in life." "I always wanted to go to Australia. One night, I Googled, can you transfer to the Australian army from the British army? After a very long, convoluted story, they offered me a place." "I think the ability to build and open up your network is the number one thing. There's nothing more supportive than the military community." "How valuable do you think the skills are and transferable from when you're in the military in Civvy Street to employers or set up a business?" "If you've got an idea, just do it. Time goes too quick. There's never the perfect time to do something."

    Triumphs, Trials, and the Path to Purpose with Matt Pratten
    2025/11/06
    In today's episode, Joe interviews Matt Pratten, an Australian veteran with a unique background. Matt shares his journey from growing up in the Sutherland Shire, influenced by his English migrant parents, to navigating the challenges of childhood bullying and finding his identity. He recounts his military aspirations, the culture shock of basic training in the Australian Army, and the pivotal moments that shaped his resilience. KEY TAKEAWAYS Matt Pratton discusses his upbringing as the son of English migrants in Australia, highlighting the challenges of cultural identity and the teasing he faced for his English roots while growing up in Sydney. He shares experiences of being bullied in school and how confronting a bully helped him gain confidence. This resilience was further developed during his military service, where he learned to push through challenges and maintain a positive attitude. Matt describes the intense culture shock he experienced during his initial military training, emphasising the importance of adapting to a new environment and the lessons learned from both successes and failures throughout his military career. His interest in languages, particularly Italian and Arabic, became a significant asset during his military service. Learning Arabic not only helped him communicate effectively during deployment but also opened opportunities for him within his platoon. Matt reflects on his journey from working in retail to joining the full-time army, illustrating the importance of finding a career that aligns with one's passions and strengths, as well as the value of mentorship in navigating career transitions. BEST MOMENTS "Growing up with two parents who grew up in Manchester, in Australia, I'd go to school and everyone would swear I'm English." "I had the ideal sort of childhood upbringing, the sort of childhood that every parent wants to give their kid." "I think probably one regret I have about childhood is I didn't nag my parents enough to get into martial arts earlier." "In times of peace, we train for war. And in times of war, we fight for peace."
