John Boerstler - Unleashing the Impact of Veterans on Houston

Veteran Influencer Podcast

Today's conversation is with John Boerstler CEO of Combined Arms, an organization helping veterans transition to Houston and the greater Texas market after their military service.

John and I discuss how he is approaching this mission and the unique way his team is creating a bridge for service members looking to network, go back to school, and generally get connected to the Texas economy after their service. We also discuss briefly how the lessons learned developing regional resources like combined arms are being shared around the world with other countries.

We talk about how putting former military members back to work in gainful employment is not only the right thing to do, but also a stabilizing force on countries that have been at war or recently experienced conflict and have not yet discovered how to re-deploy their service members into society. Without overstating the point, Combined Arms' mission is helping to address a challenge not only in the Houston and U.S. economies, but also around the globe in developing nations as well.
