JPMorgan Chase & Co. & Bunker Labs CEO Circle are Catalyzing the Success of Military Veteran Businesses/Founders/Entrepreneurs
1/ It’s no secret that I am a firm believer in thoughtful networking, as it has helped me grow as a person and as an entrepreneur. Being an entrepreneur (nonprofit, for profit, or venture firm) and growing a business takes many sleepless nights and hours upon hours of work, leaving founders oftentimes with not enough time to network. I’m thankful that Bunker Labs & JPMorgan Chase & Co. started the CEOCircle as they have made the challenge less onerous for veteran business leaders. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gWfSehBC
2/ I’m grateful to both organizations for investing so much in the next generation of military veteran business leaders. This investment in veteran businesses will help create massive businesses, create American jobs, and opportunities for veterans and their families.
3/ I believe “Trust, camaraderie, candor, thoughtful efficiency, and productivity all happen when you put a group of high-achieving veterans in a room.” In the nine virtual huddles and four in-person CEO Circles, I was able to connect and network with many veterans and military spouse founders that are driven, hard working, and caring. We help and learn from one another to achieve our business goals together. Through these kinds of networking events, I have made some lifelong friends along the way that I am very grateful for and I root for their success as they have for mine.
4/ I highly recommend the CEOCircle to veteran entrepreneurs. The veteran business community is a strong one that seeks to support one another. I’m grateful for JPMorgan Chase’s commitment to the veteran community. More about CEO Circle here: https://lnkd.in/gZjdRU3E
