For our 100th episode, I thought I would share my own story.
Justin M. Nassiri is the Founder & CEO of StoryBox, a digital marketing start-up that helps companies transform their customers into brand ambassadors. He started out at the Naval Academy, after which he served five years as an officer onboard nuclear submarines. After his transition from the military, he went to the Stanford Graduate School of Business, after which he started StoryBox. He started Beyond the Uniform at the end of 2016 in an effort to help military veterans navigate their civilian career.
In this episode, I talk about:
- My path from the military to today
- Advice for veterans thinking of starting a company, including advice on building a technology, raising money and more
- The story of how I started Beyond the Uniform, where we're at today and where we're going
