About this episode

Katherine Torres-Pummill discusses the importance of building real partnerships for career and business growth, especially for service members and veterans.

We hear the word "networking" all the time, especially around military transition, career growth, and business. But building real partnerships is different. It's not about collecting contacts, pitching yourself, or asking people for favors. It's about building trust, adding value, and creating relationships that help people move forward together. In this episode, Katherine Torres-Pummill shares what strong partnerships actually look like and how they can help service members, veterans, and military spouses grow their careers and businesses. We talk about why transition can feel lonely, how to put yourself out there, how to ask for help without feeling awkward, and what to watch for when money, brands, or sponsorships become part of the conversation. Kathy is the General Manager of Recurrent Military and a military spouse. She oversees the execution of Recurrent Military and its brands, including Task & Purpose, We Are The Mighty, Military Influencer Conference, and MilSpouseFest. She brings both executive leadership and lived experience to this conversation about community, connection, and building something that lasts. For more information, visit the full show notes at…
