🎙 New Episode Drop! S02E31 | Infantry to advocacy - how Zach Plath is supporting our community

What does it take to transform a career of service in the infantry into a mission of service for life? For Zach Plath, the answer lay in building a business that ensures veterans get the support they deserve—without the confusion, delays, and frustrations many experience when navigating DVA claims.

As a former infantry soldier at 8/9RAR, Zach carried forward the discipline, systems thinking, and efficiency he learned in the ADF into his next chapter. With VetComp, he’s reimagining DVA advocacy—creating accessible, stress-free pathways for veterans, and proving that speed and quality can go hand in hand.

In this episode, Zach joins Pete to talk about:

• Why he chose a fee-for-service model over traditional ESO advocates
• The principles from ADF life that continue to guide him in business
• The power of word of mouth within the veteran community
• Why VetComp runs fully in-office, and the culture that decision creates
• The nuances of hiring veterans vs civilians—and the unique strengths both bring

This is more than a conversation about business. It’s about service, trust, and building systems that genuinely improve lives. If you’re curious about how military values translate into impactful entrepreneurship, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
