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.

Brothers & Sisters in Arms: Finding Connection After Service
In this episode of Operation Next Chapter, Marc sits down one-on-one with a fellow retired service member — someone he never served with directly, yet formed an instant bond with long after both left the military. Their connection began not on a deployment or in a squadron, but in a gym… proving that the brotherhood and sisterhood of service doesn’t end when the uniform comes off.
Together, they explore why veterans connect so quickly, how shared values create lifelong friendships, and the importance of rebuilding your tribe after transition. From identity shifts to finding new purpose, this conversation highlights the strength, leadership, and resilience that continue long after retirement.
Whether you're a veteran searching for community, someone navigating life after military service, or just someone who appreciates stories of grit and connection — this episode will speak to you.
Tune in as Marc and his guest dive into what it really means to be brothers and sisters in arms… even when your paths cross long after the mission.
