From JAG to Congress: Winning Habits, Warrior Mindsets, & Empowering Vets - Patrick J. Murphy | Ep 33

In this episode of Veteran Ventures, we sit down with Patrick J. Murphy - a third-generation veteran, former Army JAG officer, and the 32nd Under Secretary of the Army.

Patrick was the first Iraq War veteran elected to Congress, where he helped co-author the Post-9/11 GI Bill and led with a deep sense of purpose and patriotism. His journey since leaving the military includes law, politics, entrepreneurship, media, teaching at Wharton, and investing in veteran-led businesses.

This episode is packed with practical advice for transitioning veterans on topics like:

- Translating military service into civilian success

- Advocating for yourself through effective storytelling

- Why your ethos, pathos, and logos matter more than your resume

- Building winning habits through purpose, exercise, and lifelong learning

- Using LinkedIn to communicate value and grow your network

- Empowering military spouses and fighting veteran suicide

- The importance of asking for advice - not jobs

Whether you're months from ETS or years into your post-service path, this conversation offers a front-row seat to what it means to serve with purpose beyond the uniform.
