Last night I had the privilege of hosting a Q&A with Jeff Mostyn — the former Chairman who helped carry AFC Bournemouth from financial collapse to the Premier League spotlight.
Jeff’s insights were pure gold for veteran entrepreneurs and business owners:
🔺 Leadership when the money runs out
🔺 The power of belief when the evidence isn’t in your favour
🔺 Making tough decisions under pressure
🔺 Raising capital when everyone else says “no chance”
🔺 Resilience — the kind that comes from purpose, not comfort
His “Four Parts of Success” and “Ten Principles” perfectly mirror the values we champion within Veteran Entrepreneurs, Vetrepreneurs Circle, and Bootnecks in2Business — courage, accountability, humility and relentless drive.
Whether you’re leading a business, a team, or navigating your own transition from military to civilian success, nights like this remind us that leadership is universal.
Values win.
Mindset wins.
People win.
What an exceptional evening of learning and inspiration.
