This week, I had the privilege of meeting with Ted Robertson at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado — and it was more than just a meeting. It was a pivotal, high-level conversation about the intersection of veterans’ affairs, entrepreneurship, and the accelerating role of technology in shaping the future workforce.
Our dialogue covered multiple strategic layers — from the current state of veteran reintegration into the economy, to how business ecosystems are evolving in response to emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, automation, and digital transformation.
We explored a shared observation: many individuals who were once apprehensive about technology are now beginning to embrace it as a tool for empowerment rather than fear it as a threat. This mindset shift is critical as we transition into a new era where AI and digital literacy are not optional — they’re fundamental skills for business survival and competitive leadership.
Reimagining Engagement and Collaboration
Ted and I also discussed the network of leaders, innovators, and organizations we both have access to — individuals and entities that are uniquely positioned to drive this next phase of transformation. The synergy between these networks can foster real impact, not only in the business community but also across veteran-led and BIPOC-led entrepreneurial ecosystems.
We examined opportunities to create inclusive frameworks for those historically underrepresented in entrepreneurship — particularly BIPOC and underserved communities — to gain access to resources, mentorship, and capital. The goal is simple but strategic: empower these entrepreneurs to participate in and benefit from the next wave of economic expansion.
The Great Wealth Transfer and Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition
Another major point of discussion was the historic wealth transfer now underway — as Baby Boomers begin to pass ownership of millions of businesses to Millennials and Gen Xers. This transition represents one of the greatest entrepreneurial opportunities in modern history. Through entrepreneurship by acquisition, emerging leaders can purchase, revive, and scale established businesses rather than start from scratch — effectively bridging generational wealth gaps while preserving American enterprise.
This is where Montgomery 2320 Business Development Services LLC plays a critical role. Our mission remains clear:
“Helping Leaders Lead Better.”
We’re committed to helping veterans, emerging entrepreneurs, and community leaders transition from service to civilian life — not just as employees, but as business owners, innovators, and catalysts for local economic development.
Moving Forward with Intention
This initial conversation with Ted Robertson was only the beginning. We’re laying the foundation for strategic collaborations, actionable processes, and new engagements that will connect leadership, technology, and opportunity on a national scale.
As we continue these discussions in the near future, our focus will remain on building bridges — not walls — between service and success, between fear and innovation, and between potential and performance.
The future belongs to those who can lead with purpose, adapt with courage, and build with vision.
Inside Montgomery 2320, that’s exactly what we intend to do.
