This is the full interview with Jimi Banda where he speaks on why to create your OWN narrative and take care of those in need. Jimi is always giving back to those in need and still has time to ensure that others get taken care of. From everyday leadership to letters of recommendation for Marines that transition outta the military. In my experience knowing Jimi, I have seen nothing but great leadership traits from him. I remember one time that he took me to the education center when I told him that I hadn't started education yet. He stood there while I actually got signed up with a few classes and to ensure I was set up for success.🔴 Subscribe and click the 🔔 icon to stay tuned to the latest episodes of The Veteran Influencers Podcast.🎬 Watch our most recent interviews with more Veterans who influence the community: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwM2ZkfGEINNcq-ZPZ9QgRV8oUCjqnVJZ✅ If you are interested in learning more about Jimi's entrepreneurial endeavors, please visit: https://www.roninfoundation.nethttps://www.e9fcva.comhttps://www.e9fcva.com/meettheinstructorsSocial Media:📘 Facebook: @Jimi A.
