How to Build Wealth After the Military | Ep. 13
In this powerful episode of RealTOC, host Cameron Hardin sits down with Chad Armstrong for an unfiltered look at his remarkable life journey. From being a bullied teenager who turned to kickboxing for survival, to navigating the complexities of military service, contracting in Iraq, and training Ugandan forces, Chad’s story is one of profound resilience.
Beyond the combat and training, Chad shares the harsh reality of transitioning from the military to civilian life, the struggles of the National Guard, and his experience dealing with abandonment and mental health challenges after 15 years of service. Now, as a dedicated financial advisor and founder of ACE Veteran Consulting, Chad is on a mission to fill the gaps he experienced himself. He provides invaluable insights into VA claims, tax benefits, and the importance of advocating for veteran well-being.
Whether you’re a veteran, active duty, or someone overcoming your own obstacles, Chad’s story of turning adversity into purpose is an inspiration. Tune in for lessons on leadership, resilience, and finding your identity after service.
