## Resource

Most businesses start with a plan. Elite Performance Strategies started with a collapse. Chief Master Sergeant (Ret.) Amber Houghton gave the U.S. Air Force 28 years. After retirement, her marriage ended, relationships with her children fractured, and the identity she had spent nearly three decades building was gone. She thought it was the end of her story. It became the place where she finally met herself. On The Bunkhouse Podcast, Jon sits down with Amber to talk about rebuilding after the uniform comes off, the reality of starting a business while rebuilding yourself, leadership, burnout, pressure, and finding purpose again. Amber is the founder of Elite Performance Strategies, working with coaches, athletes, and leaders on clarity, composure, self-leadership, and disciplined execution in high-stakes environments. She also created Reset & Rise: Veterans Edition. Different Stories. Same Tribe. Be The Light In Someone's Dark. Guest: Chief Master Sergeant (Ret.)
