In this episode of Making Shooters Better, Terry sits down with Army veteran, endurance athlete, and community advocate Viviana Morales Kolb to discuss the challenges of transitioning from military life, finding a new mission, and embracing the humility that comes with learning new skills. Viv shares her journey from serving 12 years in the Army to discovering a renewed sense of purpose through veteran organizations, endurance sports, and firearms training. Rather than pretending to know everything, she intentionally surrounds herself with people who are more experienced, believing that's where the greatest growth happens. The conversation also explores why firearms training can be especially empowering for women, how fitness and shooting complement one another, and why supportive communities make all the difference for new shooters. In this episode, we discuss: • Transitioning from military service to civilian life • Finding community after leaving the military • Why learning from people more experienced accelerates growth • Becoming comfortable being a beginner • Firearms training for women • Fitness and its role in performance under pressure • Building confidence through consistent practice • Safe firearms ownership around children • Practical training vs. simply qualifying • Why service doesn't have to end when the uniform comes off Whether you're a veteran, a competitive shooter, new firearm owner, instructor, or simply someone looking to grow through challenge, this conversation offers valuable insight into learning without ego and building confidence one step at a time.
