Many veterans are opening businesses in Upstate, NY. They're taking skills (and stamina) developed while in service and applying what they know to running their own small businesses. It's a big leap and starting a business is not easy. In this podcast series, veterans will talk about their service backgrounds, the businesses they've started, and how they made the transition. They'll also talk about some of the state and federal programs they've found useful and share advice for other veterans looking to start their own businesses.

In this episode, Air Force Veteran Jason Young, owner of Old Saratoga Wine and Spirits, Clarks Steak House, and Schuyler Yacht Basin talks about how he's taken skills he learned in service and applied them to the business world.
