Transition, Lessons in Leadership and Business Ownership with Steve Thornton

Today, I talk to Steve about his background, his troubled childhood and his military career and we also discuss the transition from the military to civvie life, and we also discussed how he went about creating his businesses.

Steve is really candid, honest and open about some of the challenges he had, particularly around leadership, managing others after the military, and that transition from the military into civvie street.

We also talk about what's really important to Steve in terms of the core values and behaviours that he looks for in his employees. We discuss problem-solving and that initial setup, and we talk about some of the massive challenges that he had along the way.

In this interview, we talk through transition, through leadership, and business ownership. There are some fantastic things to learn here, and I'm very proud that they are the new sponsors of the Blue Light Leavers Podcast.
