Everyday Heroes is a podcast from Shore Capital Partners that highlights the people who are building our companies from the inside – everyday – often out of the spotlight. With this series, we want to pull these heroes out of the shadows. We want to hear their stories. We want to share their stories. We want to understand what drives them, why they do what they do, how they might inspire others to become Everyday Heroes too.

&lt;p&gt;In this episode, Garret Dillon shares his journey from the 101st Airborne Division to Director of Integrations at Agentis Longevity, and the military-forged mindset that drives his work. Through Shore Capital&#039;s Military to Operations program, Garret found a path to channel his leadership, grit, and relentless optimism into building a fast-growing healthcare company from the inside. He reflects on how the discipline of military life translates to the ambiguity of a startup, why veterans shouldn&#039;t discount their experience, and how a Colin Powell quote became his operating philosophy. The episode paints a picture of how one person&#039;s energy and mindset can shape a team&#039;s culture and a company&#039;s trajectory.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key Takeaways:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Staying optimistic isn&#039;t just nice to have. It&#039;s what makes big goals possible with a small team.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The skills veterans build in the military carry over to business more than they might expect.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Not having a playbook is tough, but it&#039;s also the most rewarding part of building something new.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Great culture doesn&#039;t happen by accident. It comes from people who show up every day with energy and purpose.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chapters:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;00:00 — Introduction&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;03:00 — From the Military to Agentis&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;07:12 — Optimism in Action&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;10:36 — Building Culture&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;14:08 — Advice and Motivation&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;19:05 — What Makes Garret a Hero&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Listen to our podcasts at:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.shorecp.university/podcasts&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;https://www.shorecp.university/podcasts&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There you will also find our other &lt;em&gt;Everyday Heroes &lt;/em&gt;episodes, alongside our series &lt;em&gt;Microcap Moments&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Bigger.
