The Pathfinder Podcast is a platform to uncover the paths of intentional thoughts and methods military veterans have followed  prior to and after military service to achieve excellence and become Pathfinders in their own right.

Steve also completed a Masters Degree and Applied Business Data Analytics Certificate while on active duty. Let's hear about Steve's chosen path.

Episode 4: In this episode Uncle Salty is prompted to put out a solo episode due to the rants someone starting their career and not having their expectations met. This episode covers the planning processes in finding the career position you really want and how to determine what to expect if you chose a specific career in a specific location. Being slow and methodical in getting into your career may be the best practice. Having said that, let's find your path... This is Salty the Sun Devil and I approve of this message 

Episode 5: In this episode Uncle Salty interviews Chase Clemens, a graduate student at ASU's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, a former member of the legendary 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment. Chase explains how he mapped out his academic plan, transitioned from military service and positioned himself for a career in sports media communications. This is a longer episode, so I recommend heading to the gym and soaking in some knowledge while working out. The following are books recommended by Chase Clemens: Where Men Win Glory, by Jon Krakauer; Designing Your Life, by Bill Burnett; Getting to Neutral, by Trevor Moawad...
