Army Signal Corps veteran and Chief Warrant Officer II (Ret.) Sheena Parker reveals how she went from 20 years in uniform to building a thriving facility management and government contracting company, Foresight Industries (4SYT), and a fast-growing education platform, GovCon Now. She shares how military discipline, warrant officer leadership training, and sheer resilience helped her transition into entrepreneurship, win contracts with agencies from MARTA to major sports venues, and create opportunities for other veterans and second-chance hires. Discover how she launched her SheenaPreneur YouTube channel, teaches her three-tier contractor methodology at universities like Texas A&M and Syracuse, and helps small businesses secure federal, state, local, and corporate contracts—often starting with nontraditional opportunities like plant care and construction cleanup.
