📢 ANNOUNCEMENT

For years, the Enlisted Leadership Foundation has been proud to offer Military Money & MORE as part of our leadership and financial readiness curriculum. This course has consistently been one of our most impactful programs, thanks to the open dialogue it created and the overwhelmingly positive feedback from our enlisted community.

Today, we are excited to share that the material from this course has been transformed into a full-length book — written by our Vice President, Travis Winfield, who has taught the class and helped shape its development over the years.

Military Money & MORE is now officially available and provides the same straightforward, practical guidance our service members have relied on in the classroom. It is a resource designed to help sailors, veterans, and military families take control of their finances with clarity and confidence.

You can find the book at TravisWinfield.com, which links directly to all available formats.

Thank you to every student who shared feedback, asked hard questions, and supported the growth of this program. Your input helped make this book possible, and we are proud to see it become a resource that can support an even larger portion of our enlisted community.

Book Travis for keynotes, grab Military Money & MORE, or connect with his real estate teams — all from one clean, fast page.
