Patrick Flood — a 26-year Army veteran, retired Green Beret, and Founder of Owners In Honor — joined The Words We Don’t Say to talk honestly about veteran transition: not just finding a job, but figuring out who you are after service, and what it actually costs (and pays off) to buy a business.
WHAT THEY DISCUSS
- The four F’s of transition: faith, family, finance, fulfillment
- Why veterans consistently under-negotiate their first civilian salary
- Why acquisition — stepping into an existing business with real revenue and real employees — fits the military mindset better than building from zero
- How Owners In Honor’s structured program guides veterans through the acquisition process
- Why buying a business in your hometown may be one of the most psychologically healthy moves after service
Acquire with discipline. Grow with intention. Exit with honor.
