What happens when an Army infantry squad leader swaps his rifle for a business plan?
In this episode of Unarmored Talk, I sit down with veteran entrepreneur Matthew Kemp to hear how he went from leading combat missions in Baghdad to building two thriving businesses.
Matthew shares how he defied the odds—finishing college in under three years, navigating corporate America, and ultimately breaking free from layoffs and cold calls to launch his own staffing firm during one of the toughest economic climates. His story is packed with real lessons on risk, resilience, and the freedom that comes with entrepreneurship.
