Operation Next Chapter
Operation Next Chapter is a leadership and life podcast for people navigating transition, pressure, and purpose.
Hosted by Marc and Cole — two former U.S. Air Force First Sergeants — the show is built on real stories from the diamond: moments of crisis, accountability, compassion, and growth that shaped how they led people when it mattered most.
Each episode breaks down lessons learned in high-stress environments and translates them into practical guidance for everyday life — at work, at home, in relationships, and in personal growth.
At the heart of the show is a simple mission: RECLAIM — your leadership, your finances, your health, and your next chapter of life.
Whether you’re a veteran transitioning out of service, a leader feeling the weight of responsibility, or someone looking to live with more intention and resilience, Operation Next Chapter is here to help you move forward with clarity and purpose.
Because leadership doesn’t end when the uniform comes off — it evolves.

Beyond the Uniform: Finding New Purpose
In this episode of Operation Next Chapter, we dive into one of the toughest transitions veterans face — rediscovering purpose after the uniform comes off. The mission changes, the structure disappears, and suddenly, you’re left asking, “Who am I now?”
Through raw conversation and real stories, they explore what it means to rebuild identity, find direction, and create new meaning outside of the military. It’s about more than a new career — it’s about rediscovering why you wake up every morning and what drives you forward.
Whether you’re a veteran, a first responder, or anyone navigating a major life shift, this episode will remind you: your purpose didn’t end — it just evolved.
