New Pod Drop! S03E34 | James Moody - Shire Pool Care. The power of businesses that actually 'do things' - don't underestimate how successful practical businesses can be.James Moody served in the Australian Army from 2010 to 2024, spending time with 6RAR, the School of Infantry, and 2RAR (Amphibious), where he was promoted to Sergeant in 2020. Following operational service in Afghanistan and deployments across the Indo-Pacific region, James made the difficult decision to leave Defence, prioritising his health, family, and a desire to build something of his own. What followed was a journey of uncertainty, self-discovery, and ultimately the creation of Shire Pool Care.In this episode, James shares the realities of transitioning from military service, why he deliberately chose a practical trade-based business instead of a defence-adjacent career, and how military planning, systems, and discipline have helped him build a growing business from the ground up. He discusses the importance of identifying genuine customer needs, embracing hard work, being willing to start again from the bottom, and why veterans should never underestimate the opportunities available in service-based businesses. This is a valuable conversation about family, resilience, entrepreneurship, and the power of simply saying yes and finding a solution.🌐 Learn more:👉 shirepoolcare.com 🌐 Join the VBC Community:👉 veteranbc.com/join-our-community #VBC #VBCPodcast #VeteranBusinessCommunity #VeteranOwnedBusiness #Entrepreneurship #BusinessOwnership #Transition #Leadership #SmallBusiness #TradesBusiness #ServiceBusiness #ShirePoolCare
