Matt Smith whose journey spans more than three decades of military service and a remarkable transition into higher education and veteran advocacy. Matt shares his story from a Long Island upbringing rooted in community service to leading soldiers in complex global environments. He opens up about pivotal life decisions, the impact of 9/11, returning to active duty, and ultimately finding his next mission helping veterans succeed in business and beyond. Today, Matt serves as Executive Director of Veteran Initiatives at Emory University’s Goizueta Business School, where he leads the MBA for Veterans program and mentors the next generation of leaders. This conversation explores what service truly means, how purpose evolves over time, and why leadership does not end when the uniform comes off.
