In this episode of TheMilVet Podcast, Beau Higgins sits down with Alex Lisot, former Air Force Officer and Founder of Master the Military, to discuss the most common — and often misunderstood — challenges veterans face during the transition to civilian life. From VA disability frustrations to rebuilding purpose and community, Alex shares how his platform is guiding thousands of veterans with practical, no-fluff tools and support.

Alex opens up about his own experience navigating the VA system, the lessons learned from building and exiting his first business, and why he chose to structure Master the Military as a for-profit solution in a space dominated by nonprofits. He and Beau dive deep into topics like:

• Why veterans often struggle with self-investment
• The myth that the VA is the enemy
• Building community after service
• Creating structure and purpose outside the uniform
• Lessons learned from entrepreneurship and transitioning out

💡 Whether you’re active duty, in transition, or already out, this episode offers insight, motivation, and resources from someone who’s walked the path — and is building the bridge for others to follow.
