Career Transition from a Financial Perspective with Patrick Weinert - a podcast by Ryan Sweeney

Patrick's background and transition from Pilot to Financial Planner and advice:
- Grew his niche and skill while in coaching other service members and eventually was asked to run unit's budget
- Identify your interests and skills and then define a plan to cover any shortcomings

Career Transition:
- What I want
Define that goal (in life, in your next career, and how do financials intertwine with it?)
- Conduct Research
Informational interviews, podcasts, network, LinkedIn, company pages, etc
- Develop a plan
- Advocate for Yourself
This allows you to backwards plan and develop numerous options so you can look at the data and leverage when negotiating what you want out of your next career.  You have to be willing to walk away from an offer and must know the numbers and be able to support them with facts.  All part of learning how to negotiate without being confrontational 
- Identify the resources available to you (as veterans, within your community, available online, etc)
- Know the difference between financial offense and defense
- Don't be afraid to grow and learn, but also don't be afraid to acknowledge your weaknesses and outsource as necessary
- Don't accept no (especially when it comes to VA Disability rating)
