Olivia is a former Army officer who has previously hosted the Army Soldier for Life podcast and now currently the Military Officers Association of America podcast. We talk through why your most important mission should be to figure out your calling, how the military responded to Black Lives Matter and how they should have responded, and the three most important elements of a successful transition out of service.
