    Who are you when the plan ends?

    Marine veteran William Philyaw IV shares his journey from overseas embassy security duty to navigating an unexpected injury that forced him to surrender a 20-year vision.

    Through faith, family, and intentional relationships, William rebuilt his identity and discovered a new mission serving veterans in Virginia.

    This episode explores transition, purpose, and the quiet courage it takes to start again.

    Stay unarmored, stay authentic, and stay mentally fit.
    God bless you all.

    Wondering What You’re Actually Worth at Work?

    In this Unarmored Talk Pro Tip episode, we break down how to determine your worth at work without ego or guesswork. This conversation focuses on clarity—using market-backed information to make confident decisions in reviews, negotiations, and career moves.

    We start by separating identity from market value. Your worth as a person isn’t up for sale; the market pays for outcomes. From there, we cover how to research compensation by comparing roles, scope, and responsibility across your industry—because data beats hope.

    Finally, we define the importance of your minimum acceptable offer. When you know the line that protects your peace, growth, and financial goals, decisions become clearer and negotiations become calmer.

    If this conversation helps you—or someone in your network—share it and keep the momentum going.

    What Happens When You Reach the Top and Then Have to Start Over?

    In this Unarmored Talk Podcast episode, I sit down with retired Marine Master Gunnery Sergeant Steve Maynor Jr., now a Communications Instructor at Davidson-Davie Community College, to talk about what really happens when the uniform comes off and the old playbook stops working.

    After 23+ years of service, Steve reflects on the moment he realized rank wouldn’t carry him into the next chapter. We talk about preparing early, translating leadership into civilian value, and the humility of starting over. He also shares how education, therapy, and honest relationships helped him rebuild purpose and redefine success beyond the title.

    This conversation is for anyone navigating transition, reinvention, or the uneasy space between who you were and who you’re becoming.
