The Challenges Veterans Face in the Corporate World with Hiram Figueroa (Ep. 29)
The Challenges Veterans Face in the Corporate World
Veterans are often considered heroes for their service to the country, risking their lives to defend freedom and uphold justice. However, they often face different challenges when transitioning to civilian life. One of these is finding meaningful employment in the corporate world. Despite their valuable skills and experience, veterans face bias or misunderstanding from civilian employers who do not fully appreciate the unique talents and perspectives they bring to the table.
In this episode, Hiram Figueroa joins Brett and Giselle. As an advocate for veterans' rights, Hiram talks about what drives him to serve veterans and the veteran community, how some veterans play the veteran card, and the challenges veterans face in the corporate world.
Hiram Figueroa is a highly motivated Sr. Operation Manager with an extensive background in business transportation systems, project management, supply chain management, and overall day-to-day operations. He is passionate about leading teams to achievement while implementing efficient and effective processes. Hiram is also the host of the LinkedIn Perspective, a podcast about bringing awareness, truth, and a new form of leadership.

Quotes
03:23 - "No amount of compensation can bring value to the veteran community. When you're an advocate for veterans and veterans' rights, no amount of money, kickback, or royalties can bring significant value." - Hiram Figueroa
17:56 - "At this point in my life, I am reinventing myself to do something different because corporate America has changed so drastically. It's very dangerous. People like myself, who come up through corporate America, strongly believe social media has destroyed the American dream." - Hiram Figueroa
23:12 - "We (veterans) are in deep trouble because we are not getting the support our country says they're doing." - Hiram Figueroa

31:09 - "People will never know and understand the dynamic transformation we take when we sign that piece of paper, a blank check, up until our lives to do things. And then we come out different and are penalized for being different." - Hiram Figueroa
31:35 - "We are broken to a certain extent, but we're fixable because we see things differently and excel more than others. We do extraordinary things for average people who choose not to do things they say they would." - Hiram Figueroa
