Finding Passion & Purpose Post-Transition with Jessica Van Dop Dejesus, Founder of The Dining Traveler and Breaking Barriers in Entrepreneurship Facilitator.

The Transition by Bunker Labs

I tell people that it takes at least three years or so to fully transition, but that's not based on any peer-reviewed data only my personal experience after spending 10 years in the military, five including my time at the Naval Academy Prep School and Annapolis, followed by five in the Marine Corp, for ten years total. Today’s guest, Jessica Van De Vop Jesus, left the Marine Corps as Lieutenant Colonel, in order to follow her passion for Food and Travel. Her first few years post-transition were rough, which she shares intimate details about on the show, for the first time. Through her struggles, Jessica managed to find meaning and purpose in the next stage of her journey, as an Author and Solopreneur, On today’s show, Jessica shares her story and I hope that those of you in the throes of your own transition, whether you’re just getting off of active duty, changing jobs, or making the leap to start a venture, I’m confident you’ll find inspiration in Jessica’s journey.
