Josh Klooz was an infantry officer in the US army, serving in Afghanistan in 2011. He loved the volatility and intensity of combat. But because he was starting a family, he made the tough decision to leave the army.   Like many veterans, for Josh, finding a calling outside the military was really difficult. The path wasn’t straightforward. Now, Josh works as a wealth planning associate at UBS, and is training to become a financial advisor. The way he sees it, helping people with their money -  their life’s earnings, essentially - gives his role real purpose.   In combat, Josh was helping people prepare for the worst, helping them think through fear. As a financial advisor, he’s doing a similar thing - especially now, during the pandemic. Josh has this relentless positivity and clear-eyed way of seeing the world which I found really uplifting. Josh says there’s this myth of the broken veteran - leaving the army as victims - but that’s just not true. I want to thank American Corporate Partners for putting me in touch with Josh. They’re a great organisation that pairs veterans with professional mentors to help them transition into the working world.   @Clare_Wiley@TheReinventors
