Brian Arrington, USAF (ret), M.S. is CEO/Founder of VETS2INDUSTRY LLC and Vets2Industry Foundation, Inc. and is a Business Initiatives Consultant with Wells Fargo.&nbsp;Brian retired July 2019, from the United States Air Force with Robins AFB, GA as his final duty station. His distinguished career led him to deploy to Iraq, Afghanistan, and Qatar and provide humanitarian relief throughout SE Asia during the tsunami, Haiti during the earthquake, and in Turkey supporting refugee evacuations during the Israel-Lebanon Mideast Crisis. Brian’s career has taken him to 90 countries and 5 of the 7 continents.&nbsp;In his last year of 20-years devoted service to the U.S. Air Force, Brian learned there were over 45,000 Veteran Service Organizations nationwide that provided free services and support to U.S. military families and realized a huge gap existed between available free Veteran, Military Spouse, and dependent children resources and benefits and the knowledge of their existence among our nations heroes and their families.&nbsp;With this newly discovered knowledge, Brian vowed to eliminate the knowledge gap and ensure the success of every veteran and their families by creating an online library, a free single-site repository of every free Veteran Service Organization to include providing mentorship and information services to each knowledge-seeker.&nbsp;Since the library’s creation, March 2019, Brian has led VETS2INDUSTRY’s growth by reaching 16,000 veterans and military spouses with over 46,000 page-views and he continues to supply employment opportunity success with the ever-growing grassroots volunteer force of veterans and military spouses he leads. </p><p>Brian is married with 6 children, resides in Atlanta, is a Global Goodwill Ambassador (GGA), an active alumnus of Centurion Military Alliance, Hiring our Heroes Corporate Fellowship Program, FourBlock, American Corporate Partners, volunteers with VETLANTA, the National Black MBA Association Atlanta Chapter, Minority Veterans of America and is a student veteran leader and student ambassador at Syracuse University where he is currently pursuing his MBA and a concurrent Masters in Entrepreneurship. He holds 2 A.A.S. from the Community College of the Air Force, a B.A. in History, a Graduate Certificate in Homeland Security, and a M.S. in Management from Thomas Edison State University and is a certified Georgia State Hostage Negotiator.&nbsp;&nbsp;Learn more about Vets2Industry here: <a href="https://vets2industry.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://vets2industry.com/</a></p><p><strong><u>Upcoming Events &amp; Resources Mentioned in this Episode:</u></strong></p><p>Subscribe to Supply Chain Now and ALL Supply Chain Now Programming Here:&nbsp;<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsupplychainnowradio.com%2Fsubscribe&amp;token=d8bade-1-1598712500060" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">supplychainnowradio.com/subscribe</a></p><p>Leave a review for Supply Chain Now:&nbsp;<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fratethispodcast.com%2Fsupplychainnow&amp;token=4a370f-1-1598712500060" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ratethispodcast.com/supplychainnow</a></p><p>Connect with Scott on LinkedIn:&nbsp;<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Fscottwindonluton%2F&amp;token=379674-1-1598712500060" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.linkedin.com/in/scottwindonluton/</a></p><p>Connect with Brian on LinkedIn:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/brianarrington933/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/brianarrington933/</a></p><p>Supply Chain Now Ranked&nbsp;<a href="https://soundcloud.com/tags/1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#1</a>&nbsp;Supply Chain Podcast via FeedSpot:&nbsp;<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftinyurl.com%2Frud8y9m&amp;token=b33f1a-1-1598712500060" rel="noopener noreferrer"...]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This episode of Veteran Voices features Brian Arrington.

Brian’s career has taken him to 90 countries and 5 of the 7 continents.&nbsp;In his last year of 20-years devoted service to the U.S. Air Force, Brian learned there were over 45,000 Veteran Service Organizations nationwide that provided free services and support to U.S. military families and realized a huge gap existed between available free Veteran, Military Spouse, and dependent children resources and benefits and the knowledge of their existence among our nations heroes and their families.&nbsp;With this newly discovered knowledge, Brian vowed to eliminate the knowledge gap and ensure the success of every veteran and their families by creating an online library, a free single-site repository of every free Veteran Service Organization to include providing mentorship and information services to each knowledge-seeker.&nbsp;Since the library’s creation, March 2019, Brian has led VETS2INDUSTRY’s growth by reaching 16,000 veterans and military spouses with over 46,000 page-views and he continues to supply employment opportunity success with the ever-growing grassroots volunteer force of veterans and military spouses he leads. </p><p>Brian is married with 6 children, resides in Atlanta, is a Global Goodwill Ambassador (GGA), an active alumnus of Centurion Military Alliance, Hiring our Heroes Corporate Fellowship Program, FourBlock, American Corporate Partners, volunteers with VETLANTA, the National Black MBA Association Atlanta Chapter, Minority Veterans of America and is a student veteran leader and student ambassador at Syracuse University where he is currently pursuing his MBA and a concurrent Masters in Entrepreneurship. He holds 2 A.A.S. from the Community College of the Air Force, a B.A. in History, a Graduate Certificate in Homeland Security, and a M.S. in Management from Thomas Edison State University and is a certified Georgia State Hostage Negotiator.&nbsp;&nbsp;Learn more about Vets2Industry here: <a href="https://vets2industry.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://vets2industry.com/</a></p><p><strong><u>Upcoming Events &amp; Resources Mentioned in this Episode:</u></strong></p><p>Subscribe to Supply Chain Now and ALL Supply Chain Now Programming Here:&nbsp;<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsupplychainnowradio.com%2Fsubscribe&amp;token=d8bade-1-1598712500060" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">supplychainnowradio.com/subscribe</a></p><p>Leave a review for Supply Chain Now:&nbsp;<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fratethispodcast.com%2Fsupplychainnow&amp;token=4a370f-1-1598712500060" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ratethispodcast.com/supplychainnow</a></p><p>Connect with Scott on LinkedIn:&nbsp;<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Fscottwindonluton%2F&amp;token=379674-1-1598712500060" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.linkedin.com/in/scottwindonluton/</a></p><p>Connect with Brian on LinkedIn:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/brianarrington933/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/brianarrington933/</a></p><p>Supply Chain Now Ranked&nbsp;<a href="https://soundcloud.com/tags/1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#1</a>&nbsp;Supply Chain Podcast via FeedSpot:&nbsp;<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftinyurl.com%2Frud8y9m&amp;token=b33f1a-1-1598712500060" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">tinyurl.com/rud8y9m</a></p><p>Supply Chain Now Ranked&nbsp;<a href="https://soundcloud.com/tags/3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#3</a>&nbsp;Supply Chain YouTube Channel:&nbsp;<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftinyurl.com%2Fyazfegov&amp;token=4c0a5a-1-1598712500060" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">tinyurl.com/yazfegov</a></p><p>Register for 6 River Systems' FLOW 2020:&nbsp;<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpheedloop.com%2Fflow2020%2Fsite%2Fhome%2F&amp;token=38ce4c-1-1598712500060" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">pheedloop.com/flow2020/site/home/</a></p><p>AIAG Virtual 2020 Supply Chain Conference:&nbsp;<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftinyurl.com%2Fy8axeflc&amp;token=853a46-1-1598712500060" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">tinyurl.com/y8axeflc</a></p><p>Download the Q2 2020 U.S. Bank Freight Payment Index:&nbsp;<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ffreight.usbank.com%2F%3Fes%3Da229%26a%3D20&amp;token=1c08d4-1-1598712500060" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">freight.usbank.com/?es=a229&amp;a=20</a></p><p>Register for Reuters Events Supply Chain USA Virtual 2020 Summit Here:&nbsp;<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftinyurl.com%2Fy4mj6jph&amp;token=fdfa4b-1-1598712500060" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">tinyurl.com/y4mj6jph</a></p><p><strong><u>Check Out News From Our Sponsors:</u></strong></p><p>U.S. Bank:&nbsp;<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.usbpayment.com%2Ftransportation-solutions&amp;token=81ed55-1-1598712500060" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.usbpayment.com/transportation-solutions</a></p><p>Capgemini:&nbsp;<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.capgemini.com%2Fus-en%2F&amp;token=c15ae-1-1598712500060" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.capgemini.com/us-en/</a></p><p>Vector Global Logistics: vectorgl.com/</p><p>Verusen:&nbsp;<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.verusen.com%2F&amp;token=34386c-1-1598712500060" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.verusen.com/</a></p><p>ProPurchaser.com:&nbsp;<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftinyurl.com%2Fy6l2kh7g&amp;token=dcfc22-1-1598712500060" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">tinyurl.com/y6l2kh7g</a></p><p>This episode was hosted by Scott Luton.

Tyler </span>is a United States Air Force Veteran and served honorably from 1996 to 2000. While in the Air Force, Tyler worked as a Satellite and Wideband communications journeyman. In his 4 year career in the Air Force he found an amazing sense of camaraderie with his fellow Airmen. He deployed to South West Asia in support of Operation Southern Watch. After leaving the Air Force he found it extremely difficult to acclimate to the civilian world. The team of leaders and managers that wanted to see him succeed inside of the Air Force was not present in corporate America.</p><p> In 2008, Tyler found an opportunity to re-join the mission he loved and began work as a DoD contractor in Afghanistan. He worked for 3 years at various bases and FOB’s downrange in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. After returning from Afghanistan a series of life challenges led to self-destructive behavior. He was fueling his mental health illnesses with a steady supply of alcohol and found himself unemployed and living in his car. On July 5th 2016 his car was repossessed and he had nowhere to go. He made his way to Ft. McPherson and was placed in an emergency bed in a shelter downtown. He knew that that environment was not going to be conducive to his success and was able to be transferred to a Veterans focused facility, Veterans Empowerment Organization. Tyler made a decision that it was time to try a new way of life. On July 10th of 2016 he had his last drink and enrolled into an outpatient program for substance abuse at Ft. McPherson. He felt his life begin to change. He finally felt at peace while staying at VEO. He committed himself to the recovery program and continues to stay sober, celebrating 3 years of continuous sobriety in July of this year. In October of 2016 Tyler joined the development team as an apprentice. Using his experience in Business Development he developed relationships with local Fortune 500 companies and engaged them to financially support the VEO. Today Tyler is thriving as an Ambassador and Development Officer for the organization. He is now married and has 2 amazing stepchildren. He chose to stay and work with VEO as a means to give back to an organization that helped provide all of the tools to regain self-sufficiency.</p><p class="ql-align-center"><strong><u>Upcoming Events &amp; Resources Mentioned in this Episode</u></strong></p><p class="ql-align-center">Subscribe to Supply Chain Now:&nbsp;<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsupplychainnowradio.com%2Fsubscribe%2F&amp;token=3d6620-1-1580953820842" target="_blank">supplychainnowradio.com/subscribe/</a></p><p class="ql-align-center"> Connect with Scott on LinkedIn:&nbsp;<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Fscottwindonluton%2F&amp;token=2719cc-1-1580953820843" target="_blank">www.linkedin.com/in/scottwindonluton/</a></p><p class="ql-align-center"> Connect with Kevin on LinkedIn:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevin-horgan-6001b517/" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevin-horgan-6001b517/</a></p><p class="ql-align-center"> Connect with Tyler on LinkedIn:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/tyler-bowser-07748825/" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/tyler-bowser-07748825/</a></p><p class="ql-align-center">Learn More About VETLANTA: <a href="https://vetlanta.org/" target="_blank">https://vetlanta.org/</a></p><p class="ql-align-center">Learn More About VEO: <a href="https://www.veohero.org/" target="_blank">https://www.veohero.org/</a></p><p class="ql-align-center">SCN Ranked&nbsp;<a href="https://soundcloud.com/tags/1" target="_blank">#1</a>&nbsp;Supply Chain Podcast via FeedSpot:&nbsp;<a...]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: black;">"Veteran Transition Stories: Tyler Bowser with VEO"</span></p><p><span style="color: black;">Veteran Voice, Episode 8</span></p><p><span style="color: black;">This episode featured </span><strong style="color: black;">Tyler Bowser</strong><span style="color: black;">.
