About the Book

Ever since the days of Homer, warriors have faced an epic battle for which many were ill-prepared – coming home after a life of military service. Whether you served three years or thirty, transitioning to civilian life is an Odyssey in its own right. Despite over 40,000 veteran advocacy organizations trying to assist military members, massive corporate hiring programs for veterans, and increased efforts by the Department of Defense, veteran transition is tough stuff – not just for our military service members but their families as well. Many veterans say that transition to civilian life is the biggest obstacle they’ve ever faced. What if it didn’t have to be this way? What if everything you needed for a happy and prosperous transition was already inside you? What if the very warrior ethos forged in the mission-focused environment of military service was the single greatest asset in your kit bag? Mission America combines a no B.S. look at the realities of military transition and an eye-opening perspective on how to leverage the highly relevant warrior attributes you already possess. Retired Green Beret and strategic entrepreneur Scott Mann takes you on a journey where you’ll see that, in order to live the life you’ve so richly earned through your selfless service, there is still one more mission in front of you…MISSION AMERICA.
