The Military Effect: How Connection, Trust & Leadership Fuel Veteran Impact | Scott Manthorne

Episode Description:
Scott Manthorne joins the VET S.O.S. Network on The Scoop to discuss The Military Effect, a powerful year-long campaign centered on connection, trust, leadership, and civilian responsibility to the veteran community.

In this episode, Scott shares how relationship capital—not resumes—creates opportunity, why veterans don’t need handouts but handshakes, and how civilians can step up and truly serve those who have worn the uniform.

In this episode, we unpack:
• Why connection is the most powerful weapon in any veteran’s arsenal
• How The Military Effect amplifies veteran stories and builds legacy through service
• The role civilians must play in supporting military transition
• Why trust, mentorship, and community outperform titles and rank

Whether you're navigating the military-to-civilian transition, leading in business, building community, or looking to better support veterans, this conversation delivers real, actionable insight rooted in humanity and service.
