The Commit Foundation – J.C. Glick

Transitioning from military service to the civilian world can be a challenge for many of our Veterans. It is one of the most common themes I have heard in the decade of hosting American Warrior Radio. On this episode we talk with J.C. Glick, CEO of the Commit Foundation. Anne Marie Craig was compelled to establish the Commit Foundation when her husband faced challenges finding a civilian career that was as fulfilling and purposeful as serving in the Army Rangers. J.C. says that this is a common problem. High performing Veterans are seeking a second career that is meaningful and fulfilling rather than just another job. The Commit Foundation caters to high performers who want to make their next chapter as great as their last chapter. J.C says he was a perfect example. “I was in such a hurry to run away from the gun club, it took me five years to realize who I was. I didn’t have a community that I could connect with. What my bio doesn’t talk about is that I had four suicide attempts.” The Commit Foundation provides a number of programs for both the Veteran and their spouse that emphasize quality over quantity. Every program is personalized to each client in order to create an environment where the Veteran can pause, asses and gain clarity about what they want their next mission to be. J.C. says that, while Commit Foundation programs are available for everyone, they may not be a match for everyone. Glick served in our military for 20 years, seven of which were with the Army Rangers. He had 11 combat deployments and numerous operational deployments around the world. He participated in the Best Ranger competition twice. After leaving the Army he was a founder and partner in two leadership companies whose clients included Fortune 500 companies, NFL and NBA teams and multiple NCAA programs.
