??? Our recent podcast guest, Marine and entrepreneur, James McCarter opens up about the emotional struggles of leaving the military—particularly the loss of camaraderie and a sense of belonging that service members often share. For many veterans, adjusting to civilian life can feel isolating. James’s story is one that many veterans can relate to. He shares how he coped with those feelings and found meaning and connection again by building a new community at Mission43. #mission43 #idahoafterthemilitary #veteran #military
