About this listen

After 30 years in the Army, Kenny Dupar learned the hard way that transition isn’t about resumes or programs. It’s about identity. In this episode, Kenny breaks down combat, counterinsurgency, leadership failures, why TAP and SkillBridge fall short, and what actually helps veterans rebuild after service. From Iraq in 2003 to writing novels in East Tennessee, this conversation is honest, funny, and deeply real.
