Jim Holland’s resettlement didn’t go to plan. After 13 years as a weapons engineer in the Royal Navy, he bought a pub, chasing the camaraderie and purpose he lost after service. A few wild years later, he realised he was just filling a gap.One phone call got him back on track, leading to corporate gigs at Vodafone, Sky, and London Stansted Airport. But the 9-to-5 wasn’t the answer either. Now, he’s building an eco-tech startup that plants trees and offsets carbon, proving that reinvention isn’t just possible, it’s necessary. In this episode, Jim shares his no-BS lessons on finding purpose after service.
