Rehab is often associated with people who have the most urgent and complex addictions and mental health crises.

What if we better educate our service members on what was available, what TriCare covers, and how to spot a reputable provider? My next guest and I will explore this subject in depth and discuss how military members can significantly benefit from these organizations' targeted services.

We will also shatter the stigma, myths, and stereotypes of those who seek this care and what this treatment can do long-term for your life growth, health, and happiness.

How can you better understand how to make connections and network authentically? Do you want to understand what will lead to the most significant opportunities?

When I met Scott Manthorne, I knew I was talking to a master networker who not only talked the good game, but worked hard to build genuine relationships.

He has decades of corporate management experience working with the biggest global brands and personalities. Scott now leverages that expertise to give back by working with veterans, sharing their stories, and helping them transition from the military.

Join us as we find what inspired him to pivot to the military space and his advice for veterans trying to break into the business world, either for a company or as an entrepreneur.

We will also discuss his latest venture, already a bestselling book and a movement defining our distinctive circumstances, which he calls The Military Effect.

From over 50 interviews of women and men who served, he uncovers how The Military Effect shapes each's journey and their life afterward.

Scott also shows how The Military Effect has immense value in the modern workplace because of its foundation of community, camaraderie, and connection.

Beyond the headlines of scandalous stories about military members getting in trouble, there are real people whose lives are forever changed. What we see in the news is often far from the truth or slanted to fit a one-sided narrative.

That's why sharing our stories is so important, especially when seeking justice. Join me as I talk to get another attorney who works with service members seeking accountability. Hear the “stories behind the story” on some of his most compelling cases and his suggestions for reforming the military justice system.

Benjamin Beliles is a former Air Force JAG officer and trial lawyer with over 15 years of experience in complex criminal prosecution, civil litigation, defense, appellate work, and internal investigations. He focuses his practice on white-collar crime and complex civil litigation matters and advocates for victims of sexual assault and sexual harassment in the military.

As the senior prosecutor for the Air Force’s legal offices in Germany, Italy, Portugal, Turkey, and the U.K., he first-chaired 46 jury trials to verdict. While serving in that role, Ben was named the Special Victims Unit Prosecutor of the Year twice.

Before leaving active duty, Ben served as a federal litigation attorney, defending the agency in employment actions in administrative and federal litigation. In that role, he was designated the Air Force Subject Matter Expert in sexual harassment-based removals of civilian employees.

Notably, Ben successfully prosecuted Lt. Col. James Wilkerson for sexual assault at Aviano Air Base, Italy. The convening authority, Lt. Gen. Craig Franklin, threw the verdict out.

That action made the case a lightning rod for change to the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Ben was integrally involved in its systemic revision to provide more robust protections for victims of sexual assault.

During the fallout from the case, he served as a frequent media contributor. He suffered extensive reprisal for those who opposed the changes to the military's handling of sexual assault.

Ben is licensed to practice law in Virginia and is permitted to practice in all military and federal courts, including the Eastern and W
