In this episode of Veteran on the Move, host Joe Crane sits down with legendary serial entrepreneur Peter Burns to discuss his incredible 50-year career spanning over 150 individual businesses. Peter shares his unconventional journey that began as an enlisted soldier in the U.S. Army, where his performance led to a selection for the prestigious West Point Preparatory School before ultimately transitioning to a UVA ROTC scholarship. Recognizing his true calling lay in business after launching a highly successful moped-rental business at just 19 years old, Peter chose to leave the military track behind—eventually going on to co-found the nation’s first College of Entrepreneurship at Grand Canyon University. Now focused on giving back to the military community, Peter pulls back the curtain on how veteran founders can bypass restrictive commercial banking gridlock, protect their personal credit, and unlock vital alternative capital using his proprietary Burns Funding Method.
