The key to successful reintegration or reentry is the 90% optimal mindset and brain processes that will open the mind to the necessity of "contemporary" fundamentals & best practices.Michael I.Kaplan, the nationally known Five-Star Amazon author of "The Prior-Service Entrepreneur" & "Second Chance"​, brings the experience of reintegration full circle; from US Army Special Ops to a "highly"​ successful entrepreneur. Michael has developed a unique approach, based on Lean Start Up philosophy, that focuses veterans & other people on the possibilities of Entrepreneurship as a natural transition. Prior-service veterans transitioning out of the military, bring with them many learned traits of the successful entrepreneurs. "The Prior-Service Entrepreneur", ​ is considered a must-read​, highly valued resource in a number of business programs in academic institutions across the country.I am honored that Michael has put his faith and trust in me to "spearhead​"​ the effort to present and train veterans & others going through reintegration, across our great Country.The mission behind Phase 2 Advantage is "self-acknowledgment​"​ of every person; that they now possess the optimal mindset to do what it takes to become a "successful entrepreneur" and the confidence to go out and..
