Operation Next Chapter

Marc & Cole

Operation Next Chapter is a leadership and life podcast for people navigating transition, pressure, and purpose.

Hosted by Marc and Cole — two former U.S. Air Force First Sergeants — the show is built on real stories from the diamond: moments of crisis, accountability, compassion, and growth that shaped how they led people when it mattered most.

Each episode breaks down lessons learned in high-stress environments and translates them into practical guidance for everyday life — at work, at home, in relationships, and in personal growth.

At the heart of the show is a simple mission: RECLAIM — your leadership, your finances, your health, and your next chapter of life.

Whether you’re a veteran transitioning out of service, a leader feeling the weight of responsibility, or someone looking to live with more intention and resilience, Operation Next Chapter is here to help you move forward with clarity
