Ep 21. Kevin Colton - Stanford GSB: Exploring in Business School after Military

Today’s guest, Kevin Colton, is currently at Stanford GSB—but the path he took to get there is anything but typical.

After spending much of his twenties abroad in Japan, China, and Germany, Kevin faced a challenging transition out of military life. The shift wasn’t easy, but through consistent effort, self-awareness, and a strong community, he’s found his footing—and says he’s now “the happiest he’s ever been.”

In this episode, Kevin shares:
🔹 The emotional challenges of transitioning out of the military
🔹 How he makes decisions by watching the people he respects most
🔹 What drew him to Stanford GSB and how the experience has shaped him
🔹 And—because everyone needs an outlet—how he finds joy tickling the ivories at the local jazz piano scene (yes, really) 🎹

Kevin’s story is full of depth, wisdom, and resilience.
