In this episode of Veteran On the Move, Joe sits down with U.S. Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel Andy Macon, to discuss his strategic planning platform, EndState.life. Drawing from his extensive experience as a military planner, Andy explains how high performers often excel at their daily duties while failing to work toward their long-term vision. He breaks down how EndState translates the military’s operational design framework into a personal roadmap that connects day-to-day actions directly to ultimate life goals, and shares how he leveraged AI prompt engineering and continuous user feedback to build a tool that helps veterans navigate their biggest life milestones.
