Introducing Patrick Cooley I started my career journey as an Army officer where I learned leadership in roles that took me on adventures from Asia to Europe to the Middle East. I learned many valuable life lessons in courage, humility, and teamwork as I broadened my knowledge of the world and those in it. Post-Army roles have helped me learn about manufacturing, economics, and care of infrastructure. I have continued learning as an app developer using Power Apps and Power Automate to modernize and streamline legacy systems. I enjoy the challenge of working collaboratively with a global team to come up with solutions harnessing the power of automation. *** Listen to this episode on: Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts , Spotify, Amazon Music, iHeart Radio, Blu Brry, Pod Addict, Tune In Episode 005: Patrick Cooley - An Iraq War Veteran's Family and His Service Patrick Cooley Power Statements Anybody who is an introvert, you can have success in your career in the military and beyond. At a young age I decided I wanted to go to West Point and be an officer. Our country has no shortage of brave men.If you can show care for any human being that is a difference maker. If you can show care for any human being - that is a difference maker. Anybody who has been married more than two weeks knows marriage is hard. If you are entering into marriage to get everything you want, that's not the right way to approach that. I did not know my kids. They where small people who inhabited my house. I found a passion. Learn to live with less. If you can recognize looking beyond yourself to help others, that is what we need. Every soldier has a Sergeant. Sometimes pressure situations create an environment where you find something your really love. Experiment and find what you like.

Benjamin Miranda Power Statements The power of a three-minute conversation. Never take for granted sharing your story. English was my barrier. Dinner conversations with my dad verse my dinner conversation with my children. The resiliency a military child has is tremendous. I have found purpose even after wearing a uniform for almost twenty-five years. I have a new "why". When you get off the bus make sure your family is with you. A part of the transition process is finding your new "why".  Transition impacts your quality of life; transition impacts your health; transition impact your economic standing. I need to invest myself into the new community. The basic principles of leadership - management, caring for your people, coaching, motivating, mentoring, human connection - that does not change. 12135 Pebble Hills is the address for the Endeavors Veterans Wellness Center coming to El Paso. We are changing the face of how we serve Veterans in West Texas. El Paso is a veteran ready community. The community comes together to employ veterans. To give them good quality of life, health care perspective, education perspective. All those components make El Paso a veteran ready community.

Healing to me is the ability to be you fully at all times; the good and the bad. My entrepreneurship allows me to impact lives outside of my employment. The ego has to go out the door when you are a the therapist, coach, or peer. I get very angered when people say military families are entitled. That word should not exist.  Education is empowerment.
