How the Military Prepares Veterans to Start a Business

It is no surprise that longtime F-15 fighter pilot Jim Murphy named his company Afterburner Inc. That time in the U.S. Air Force helped provide Murphy with the background he needed to start Afterburner, a company that offers team- building events and corporate workshops to companies of all sizes.

"I learned that there is a process that is simple to teach while also being scalable, which helps leaders lead and businesses grow," said Murphy, CEO of Afterburner. "The biggest piece of advice that I could give to current military veterans is that they often underestimate their value with the training and skill set they receive from their military experience, most notably accountability and execution."
