Jen Amos takes a break from hosting on Thursdays to introduce replays of her husband's live show, "Take A Knee" Tuesdays.

US VetWealth Founder and CEO Scott R. Tucker is joined by Blue Water Advisors (BWA) CEO Mike Wallace to discuss how military retirees can identify their unique strengths and talents rather than focusing on weaknesses. They share how to offer value in the marketplace, tips on professional networking, what entrepreneurial advice can do for job seekers, and much more.
