Matt Scherer is a lighthouse keeper and connects extraordiary ideas with exceptional people.
On this episode of American Real, Roger asks Matt how non-military professionals help military folk in the best way possible. Matt believes that we should "create a group of people that are resources. So I'm a resource for people to get information on the industry. I talk to industry leaders like you, Roger, that are there, and then we can go 'oh, yeah, I really should be doing that instead of this.' And honestly, a lot of military guys are afraid to ask. That's what it's all about, it's having the capability to have that conversation to find out, 'what's the best path?'"
