In this episode of The Warrior Alliance Spotlight, host Scott Munn and Tug Cowart sit down with EJ O’Brien, retired Air Force senior enlisted leader and Chief of Programs and Impact at FourBlock, to discuss what really helps veterans succeed after service. EJ shares how FourBlock’s career readiness model connects veterans and military spouses with employer partners, practical coaching, and relationship-driven opportunities that improve long-term career outcomes.

He also explains why the best time to prepare for transition is 12 to 18 months before leaving the military, how veterans can better translate their experience into civilian language, and why networking matters as much as a strong resume. This conversation is a must-listen for veterans, spouses, employers, and anyone supporting military transition.
