In this episode, Joe is joined by Army Veteran and Chief Business Officer at Brio Benefit Consulting, Kevin Ritchie. Kevin served in the Army for over 16 years, going from enlisted to officer and on both Active Duty and Reserves. He worked for 18 successful years at Cigna before joining Brio Benefit Consulting.

Kevin shares his advice for Veterans in transition and why it is important to find a company with a culture that fits your ideals and values. Check out Brio here.    About Our Guest   Kevin Ritchie spent over 16 years in the Army where he rose from an enlisted soldier to eventually commanding a company and reporting to senior staff. After joining the US Army Reserves in 1997, Ritchie simultaneously began working for Cigna Healthcare as a customer representative and scaled his way up to Vice President of Sales. Ritchie is currently the Chief Business Officer at Brio Benefit Consulting based in New York City.  Ritchie credits his professional and personal success to the time he spent in the military. Whether it’s a commitment to fitness or understanding the importance of planning, the military has been instrumental in developing an operational mindset devised to achieve the team’s goals and in turn his individual goals.  Now, more than ever, employers are seeking loyal, passionate, honest, task-oriented, confident, team-first attitude employees. Ritchie points out that employers don’t have to look too far; veterans bring all these valuable qualities to the table, especially in the workplace. When you hire a veteran, you hire a potential future leader.  For Ritchie, the appeal of the ever-changing nature of benefits and insurance lead him to pursue such a profound career. While successfully leading a team of professionals and growing a customer base of over 200,000 over 18 years at Cigna, Ritchie took a giant leap of faith when he decided to join Brio Benefit Consulting. As the industry was evolving, Ritchie was captivated with Brio’s approach and strategic direction and believed that they were at the forefront of where the industry was heading so he wanted to be part of shaping that future.  Among many of Brio’s achievements, Ritchie is elated to be part of an organization that was recently ranked #2 “Best Small Company to Work for in New York” by Rochester Business Journal in July 2021 while continuing to grow at a pace 3x the industry average. Brio focuses on helping employers attract and retain top talent, and it is committed to delivering solutions that advance the objectives of its clients and its employees. During annual reviews, employees expressed gratitude for how they were able to “survive” and grow as a team during the pandemic.     Join the conversation on Facebook!

In this episode, Joe is joined by Scott Patterson, a Marine Corps veteran and the founder of Tumble. Scott served for 11 years in the Infantry before transitioning into the civilian sector.

Tumble first launched in San Francisco in 2021 and has since scaled across California, with plans to be in 200 cities and 25 major metros by June 2023.  Patterson’s experience assembling highly-specialized teams has proven successful as he continues to identify and partner with experts in the field. As the organization’s leader, his focus remains on product innovation, talent acquisition, partnership development and expansion efforts as the team continues to grow.  Prior to starting Tumble, Patterson was an innovation designer at Accenture, in San Francisco, where he honed his skills across research and development, design and emerging technology. During his time in the United States Marine Corps, Patterson served first as unit infantry leader, where he acted as a senior enlisted advisor to the platoon commander and maintained accountability of all personnel. While at that post, he was awarded two Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medals for superior performance. He later served as Operation Chief, where he consulted with the Commanding Officer, Executive Officer, First Sergeant and Company Gunnery Sergeant and coordinated all company operations for 160 Marines with higher levels of leadership at the battalion level.   Join the conversation on Facebook!
