In this episode of The Next Tour, Ian and Andia speak with their friend Ramón “CZ” Colón-López about how to leverage your influence in the next chapter of life following military service. CZ was the fourth Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (SEAC) and retired in November 2023 after serving 33 years in the Air Force. As SEAC, CZ held the highest enlisted rank in the military and was the first Airman to do so. During this episode, CZ shares his vast experience as a leader, how that experience influenced his own life, and the how he leverages those experience as he engages with others today. CZ’s current job as a private consultant/business strategist gives him the flexibility to enjoy his retired life while remaining involved in the military and veteran communities he loves.
