What's up Everybody, welcome to another edition of the transition, a show aimed at demystifying the entrepreneur experience for those of you looking to make the transition from the military into entrepreneurship. I'm your host "IRON" Mike Steadman a Marine Corps Veteran, Social Entrepreneur, and member of the Bunker Labs Team. 

In the following episode, I interview my good friend and fellow Veterans-in-Residence Alumni, James Van Prooyen, a retired Air-Force Veteran and founder of the Military Podcast Network. James and I joined Bunker Labs around the same time, both eventually serving as City Leaders, and immersing ourselves in the military entrepreneur community. James is extremely passionate about podcasting and has been making rounds in the podcast community, attending conferences, workshops, and connecting with influencers. James opens up about what led him to podcasting, after transitioning from the Air-Force after 20 years of service. He gives insight into the podcast ecosystem and how he's managed to find his niche. James also talks about imposter syndrome, and how he's overcome it by launching multiple ventures, including his own veterans in business mastermind group. James discusses the importance of community, and how refreshing it is to be around other like-minded veterans, pursuing entrepreneurship as a way of life. James has a commanding voice and exudes inspiration. I hope that you enjoy hearing from James and that this episode helps accelerate you on your own entrepreneurial journey.
