  • Summary

  • Patrick Murphy and Dan Kunze talk to Brendan Duebner, founder and executive director of the non-profit Life Skills for Soldiers. A Wharton MBA graduate, Duebner launched the organization in 2019 to better prepare service members for life outside the military. Duebner discusses why he founded the organization, the epidemic of financial hardship in military families, and what habits he took from the military to help his transition into civilian life. Murphy and Kunze also discuss the recently announced defense tech partnership between Booz Allen Hamilton and Palantir Technologies, and why it's a "smart play" for both companies and US defense at large. Yahoo Finance's Warrior Money, hosted by former Congressman Patrick Murphy and veteran investor Dan Kunze, is dedicated to uplifting the financial well-being of military veterans transitioning into civilian life. Each week, an array of guests—from everyday vets to high-ranking government officials—offer insight on successfully making the leap from service to business. Thoughts? Questions? Fan mail?
