This podcast is dedicated to assisting veteran’s with the transition out of the military. We will discuss the difficulty in looking for employment. The harsh realization that the comradery that is demonstrated to you while serving does not always transfer over to normal life. We’ll also discuss dealing with mental health issues while trying to integrate into normal daily life. Lastly, we’ll try to help veteran’s find support for their issues.
In this episode I am joined by Chas Sampson, founder of Seven Principles, an organization who helps veterans with the VA claims. Chas has a background in help veterans and has now ventured into help athletes in the NFL. His journey is one to be celebrated due to his perseverance and and his willingness to embrace new ideas in order to achieve his goals. Chas was like many veterans who wanted to do 20 years in the military, but then decided that he wanted to pursue other interests. Chas explains how he diversified his portfolio and sets his hours while pursuing his dreams. Chas is an example for all veterans to follow! We end the show with the farewell "ZOT!" "ZOT!" "ZOT!" and "ROLL TODE!!!"

Episode 122 - Tony Demaio
In this episode I am joined by Tony Demaio, the Founder and CEO of Helping Heroes USA. We talk about how his organization helps veterans, first responders, and others who deal with suicidal thoughts. We discuss how and why he started his organization and how it had evolved over the years. Tony explains how listening to someone in need makes a difference in their lives. Tony mentions how the program has progressed to virtual seminars due to the overwhelming need for a program such as this. I also had to apologize because I have become a bit overwhelmed with my projects that I missed our first recording date and Tony was gracious enough to reschedule. We end the show the farewell "ZOT!" "ZOT!" "ZOT!" and "ROLL TIDE!!!"

Episode 121 - Giuseppe Grammatico
In this episode I am joined by Giuseppe Grammatico and we discuss the opportunities of pursuing a franchise. I found this episode to be very informative and I am extremely grateful to Giuseppe for coming on the podcast and discussing how to start a franchise. Giuseppe explains how to choose a franchise and how to go about financing the franchise. He also provides assistance to people who are interested in starting their own franchise. You can reach him through his website to set up a meeting and take advantage of his assistance. We end the show a bit early because I realized I scheduled an episode on my wife's birthday.
