Jon spent 9 years as an officer in the Royal Marines, serving in Cyprus, the USA, Brazil and twice in Afghanistan. His military career came to an unexpected end and he transitioned into the corporate world, first working for Amazon.

Jon tried desperately to make it work but in his own words was dying inside. Married with 3 children he remained strong for his family but had lost his purpose. Things spiralled downwards for him and when driven to thoughts of suicide he knew that something had to change.

I find Jon’s story fascinating, partly because I relate to it having found myself in an office listening to the tapping of keyboards with similar thoughts, but also because I can’t help but think, whether service leavers or not, there are a lot of people in careers that ultimately don’t fulfil them.

Jon now runs his own business helping service leavers ignite their passion and you can find out more by visiting www.jonbeete.com
