Veteran Influencer Podcast


Conversations with successfully transitioned veterans of the US Armed Forces. We learn about what careers are out there, how military skills translate to Corporate America, and how to navigate the financial perils of leaving the Active Duty. Listen as fellow Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines recount the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Anthony DeToto's career is in private wealth management and in today’s conversation we hear about his transition as an Army officer, but the reason why we were introduced and the focus of this podcast is on 1836Veterans, an organization he founded to help veterans in the Houston area create small businesses in the lower-middle market.

His group at 1836 believes that veterans have a competitive advantage in business due to their leadership, work-ethic, and character and that they have a natural inclination to feel comfortable with risk while creating performative teams that operate successfully in dynamic environments with incomplete information. They strive to offer a strong local network, mentorship, and experienced legal, financial and operations resources to help Houston-area veterans build successful companies.

In this conversation we discuss this program, how he’s looking forward to the future of veterans in business, and his advice for others looking to start their own entrepreneurship journey.
