The military can be dangerous and demanding. A soldier trudges through rain and mud, stands to watch through eerie nights in warzones and suburbs, invites harm to defend the land, and so much more. However, with time, all of this becomes relatively easy. But when it comes to hanging up the uniform and going back to a civilian lifestyle, it can get challenging. If getting into the military is difficult, getting out of the military is way more demanding. Such a drastic change in lifestyle leaves a veteran feeling overwhelmed.
Bryon Rodgers, veteran, author, and executive protection specialist, has been fortunate enough to seamlessly transition back to civilian life without encountering many obstacles. However, he is aware of the fact that many veterans face considerable challenges in doing the same. He, therefore, strives to motivate and help them settle back into their daily routines. In this spirit, he has authored Finding Meaning After the Military – a combat and survival guide for veterans facing the new battlefield of civilian life.
After leaving the US Marines, Rodgers dove straight into the private protection field, initially working as a bouncer at local bars, then onto a premier high-end executive protection team where he was able to help execute operations successfully in over 60 countries, culminating in the launch of his own Security firm based in southern CA. He did all of this while achieving a master’s degree in psychology to serve better the veteran community and the clients he has chosen to protect. It is safe to say that he transitioned smoothly to the hustle and bustle of life, an accomplishment that inspired him to share his experiences and empower other veterans in a similar ordeal, struggling to achieve success in their own lives concerning their battles.
Finding Meaning After the Military encapsulates Rodgers’ time as a Marine and the values and discipline that he learned during that period. Rodger’s found his life purpose by letting go of the past and embracing the present. Thus, he wrote this book as a step-by-step manual to help fellow veterans who are questioning the meaning of their existence discover their life’s mission and welcome the gift of life.
Rodgers believes that humans have immense power to create and shape their realities. Through well-guided actions and appropriate strategies, they can break free from the shackles that tie them to their old identities. Moreover, Finding Meaning After the Military is not only for veterans but anyone going through a transition, feeling lost, and looking for new meaning or purpose again in life.
Besides being a phenomenal author, Rodgers is also the founder of multiple companies catering to the executive protection industry and civilians who also want to improve their protection capabilities, including Bravo Research Group, The League of Executive Protection Specialists, Protector Nation, and Executive Protection Lifestyle. All of these enterprises were formed to strive to make the world a safer place and to protect the innocent and the oppressed. In addition, Rodgers is determined to give civilians, veterans, and ex-law enforcement agents a chance to build a promising career in the private security realm.
