Episode Description:
DeAndre Nixon joins the VET S.O.S. Network to discuss the realities of military transition into entrepreneurship and share powerful insight into building legacy, advancing your vision, and mastering the mindset required to succeed as a veteran business owner.

• Why mindset is the #1 differentiator for veteran entrepreneurs
• The hidden challenges of competition, IRS, and business liability
