SUMMARY:Chance Meetings: From Service to Startup—Mission-Driven Lessons f
 rom Military Service for Entrepreneurs
LOCATION:Virginian Saloon\, 750 W Broadway PO Box 804\, Jackson\, WY\, 83
 001
DESCRIPTION:Open to all and FREE to attend! We believe that great things 
 don’t happen in a vacuum\, and we encourage everyone to venture out to n
 etwork at Chance Meetings. What does it take to go from commanding troop
 s to commanding a boardroom? For veterans who've made the leap into entr
 epreneurship\, the answer often comes down to the same skills that kept 
 them sharp in uniform: discipline\, adaptability\, and a deep commitment
  to mission. Join us for a Chance Meetings panel featuring four members 
 of our community whose military careers have shaped the way they build\,
  lead\, and serve. Todd Hanna\, a decorated Marine Corps Captain with tw
 o combat tours in Iraq\, has spent years guiding startups and early-stag
 e companies through growth as founder of Belay On Advisors\, and has hel
 d leadership roles at organizations like Kate's Real Food and Vertical H
 arvest. Matt Adkins\, founder of Mountaineer Spirits and a former Army i
 nfantry commander in the 10th Mountain Division\, is channeling his oper
 ational background into building a sustainability-driven whiskey brand i
 n the Tetons. Eric Bressler\, founder of Alpine Infrastructure\, is tack
 ling avalanche mitigation with remote technology used at resorts like Ja
 ckson Hole Mountain Resort and Alta. And Lauren Gurney\, an Army Major w
 ho has spent 21 years flying UH-60 Black Hawks (often as the maintenance
  test pilot who takes the aircraft up after it's been taken apart to mak
 e sure it still flies)\, has kept a second career going in the kitchen t
 he whole time\, from owning Cocopelli Chocolatier in Santa Fe to baking 
 for Dornan's and Jackson Cake Co. She's now bringing that same systems m
 indset to her next venture. Whether you've served\, started a company\, 
 or are simply curious about what drives people to take big risks for a b
 igger purpose\, this conversation has something for you. Our panelists w
 ill dig into the lessons that carry over from military life to business\
 , the challenges that don't come with a playbook\, and why a mission-dri
 ven mindset m...\nFree. The source said so.\nSource: Jackson Hole Chambe
