22 Years in the Navy to Building Veteran Culture | Matt Johnson’s Leadership Journey

What happens when the mission doesn’t end with retirement from the military? On this episode of The MisFitNation Show, host Rich LaMonica sits down with US Navy Veteran Matt Johnson, a retired Senior Chief Petty Officer who served 22.5 years in the United States Navy. Matt’s military journey began as a Seabee, one of the Navy’s legendary construction battalions known for building critical infrastructure in some of the toughest environments around the world. Over the course of his career, Matt grew into leadership roles and eventually finished his service as a Navy recruiter, helping guide the next generation of sailors into service. But like many veterans, the real question came after the uniform came off: What’s the next mission? Today Matt is channeling his leadership, discipline, and passion for service into multiple ventures. He is the owner of GOTUR6IX CULTURE LLC, an apparel company that creates original designs, outfits businesses, and partners with nonprofits to help raise funds for causes that matter. He also works alongside his wife as she launches her art business and continues serving the veteran community as co-host of the Triple Threat Vets Podcast, where real conversations about life after service take center stage. This conversation dives into leadership, entrepreneurship, family, culture, and building a mission-driven life after the military.
