This episode profiles the transition of Jon Ferrell. Jon is a Senior Product Manager with an RF technology company in Greensboro, North Carolina. He works in the mobile device space, dealing with manufacturing, design, and optimization issues for a lot of the technology we take for granted every day. We dive into the idea of stress, how he handled large projects with lots of moving pieces in the military, and how that experience brought value to his post-military career in high tech manufacturing and product design.
Jon is also pretty frank about his reasons for leaving the military, the commitments of the active duty didn't allow the kind of lifestyle he wanted when he and his wife started a family, and in this conversation he opened up about his thought process and the ultimate decision that led him to where he is right now.
