Q&R (Question & Response) Podcast
Question & Response (Q&R) is a podcast for veterans who know there’s more life after the uniform—but aren’t interested in following a one-size-fits-all transition plan.
Hosted by Quincy and Ryan, Q&R dives into the real conversations around transitioning out of the military, especially for those choosing unconventional paths. From entrepreneurship and self-employment to mindset shifts, identity, and purpose beyond service, this show tackles what most transition briefings never cover.
Each episode blends honest dialogue with practical insight, highlighting military-owned small businesses and veteran entrepreneurs who are building something meaningful in their communities. These aren’t highlight reels—they’re real stories, real struggles, and real wins from people who’ve been in the fight and chose to bet on themselves.
Whether you’re preparing to transition, recently separated, already building a business, or simply redefining success after service, Question & Response offers perspective, clarity, and the confidence to build what’s next—on your own terms.
Because your identity was never the uniform.
And your next mission is yours to define.

Sherry Pratt: Family over Career!!!
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What does leadership look like after the uniform comes off?
In this episode, we sit down with Sherry Pratt — a 21-year United States Air Force veteran who served as both a PME Instructor and First Sergeant. For decades, she mentored Airmen through high-stakes decisions, complex challenges, and pivotal life moments.
Now? She’s guiding families through one of the biggest decisions they’ll ever make — homeownership.
After retiring from the military, Sherry transitioned into the mortgage industry as a Mortgage Loan Officer with Your Veteran Lenders, powered by Movement Mortgage. But she didn’t leave her leadership behind — she brought it with her.
We talk about:
• The identity shift from First Sergeant to financial advocate
• How military leadership translates into the mortgage world
• Why education and clarity matter more than rates
• Helping veterans fully understand and leverage their VA benefits
• Treating every loan like a mission — with preparation, precision, and purpose
Sherry’s calm, educational approach removes fear from the financing process and replaces it with confidence. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, seasoned homeowner, or transitioning service member, this episode delivers insight you won’t want to miss.
Because service doesn’t stop at retirement — it just takes on a new mission.
