This week on the VET S.O.S. Podcast, we speak with Shannon Huffman Polson—veteran Apache pilot, leadership expert, and founder of The Grit Institute. Shannon opens up about her military service, her unexpected pivot into corporate life, and the mindset and values that helped her lead with purpose through it all.

Shannon introduces us to her powerful Grit Triad model—Commit, Learn, Launch—and shares how veterans can embrace transition by reconnecting with their story, building new skills, and stepping forward with audacity and authenticity.

Whether you’re in the middle of a career shift, reflecting on your next steps, or mentoring someone who is, this episode delivers clarity and strength to help you lead the way forward.
