Podcasts about air force veteran

  In just a few weeks, our nation will commemorate the 250th anniversary of its independence. As we approach this historic milestone, “Think Out Loud” hears from guests whose life experiences and personal histories illuminate different aspects of what it means to be an American.   For the second installment of this series, we’ll hear from Ebony Frison, a Portlander, artist, and U.S. Air Force Veteran. After her time in the military, her art has largely included archiving photographic work by Newton Carroll. Carroll was a Black American military photographer whose work depicted  military members from segregated U.S. Army units during World War II.   What she found in those nearly 90-year-old images, was faces and expressions and experiences of those service members that mirrored her own time in the military. Her ongoing series, “Black Valor,” uses archival photos and documents to log her family’s connection to the U.S. Military and chronicles stories and images of Black life that are missing from official historical narratives.  

In his relentless pursuit of a deal with Iran, Donald Trump has now returned to military escalation, resuming combat operations and warning that the United States will seize Iran's key oil export hub on Kharg Island. This so-called moderate ceasefire signals a renewed campaign of punishing strikes on Iran until it agrees to terms set by the administration's negotiating team. As Miad explains, however, Iran's hardline is not the “leverage” Tehran believes it to be, because Iran ultimately must reopen the Strait of Hormuz for its own economic survival. But at this moment, Donald Trump has no viable partner for peace, and Iran will likely never offer such an option. As Marc and Dany point out, there is no Iranian Delcy Rodríguez, and these kinds of arrangements have expiration dates, particularly as 2028 approaches. As long as the sole measure of success in Iran is a negotiated deal, the Iranians hold the power to decide whether victory is possible. It is up to Trump to decide whether that's acceptable.Miad Maleki is a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), former senior U.S. sanctions strategist and national security leader, and former associate director for the Treasury's Office of Global Targeting at the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). Miad played a central role in marshalling the Treasury Department's sanctions campaigns against the Iranian regime and its proxy groups: Hezbollah, Hamas, Iraqi Shiite militias, and the Houthis. He is also a U.S. Air Force Veteran.Read the transcript here.Subscribe to our Substack here.

"While the word 'climate' may be politically charged for some, the need for affordable, reliable, and secure energy is something we can all agree on. Americans are calling for action, and as Members of Congress it's our responsibility to deliver. If we want long-term solutions that address both our constituents' concerns and growing climate risks, we must work together to strengthen our energy and climate security with urgency." Congresswoman Chrissy Houlahan to Electric Ladies Podcast  As we in the U.S. commemorate Memorial Day this week and express gratitude for the sacrifice of thousands of servicemembers on behalf of our country, we are re-airing a landmark interview from last year with an Air Force veteran and Congresswoman who is working tirelessly and on a bipartisan basis to protect the climate and our energy systems. Listen to Congresswoman Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, who is co-chair of the Bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus, a rare example of cooperation on Capitol Hill. She's also co-chair of the bipartisan Women in STEM Caucus and shares insights into how to build bipartisanship, protect our infrastructure from extreme climate events and provide clean, affordable energy.   You'll hear about: ·        How Pennsylvania's political landscape shapes the path of climate legislation ·        What the Bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus is doing to advance the clean energy transition ·        How extreme weather events can open the door to bipartisan climate action ·        Why Congresswoman Houlahan's leadership with the Women in STEM Caucus matters ·        Plus, insightful career advice   "Recognize that whatever you choose to do right now is not the end decision for the rest of your life. When you look backwards it's going to make sense, but when you look forward, it's going to be a crooked line. It's not going to be a straight line to somewhere, so do not to be too hard on yourself, do not try to seek perfection."

Struggling with a passive or confused board? In this episode, you'll learn how to transform tension into clarity, turn board members into passionate advocates, and use thoughtful questions to unlock real leadership and fundraising support.   Key Takeaways: Many board-staff problems trace back to a lack of clarity between governance and operations, and defining that line can immediately relieve tension. Framing conversations and changes around what the organization needs, rather than what any one person needs, helps boards step into true leadership. When board members are equipped to speak passionately about the mission, their personal connection, and the impact, fundraising becomes a natural next step instead of a scary task. Simple tools like annual board self-assessments and clear expectations can dramatically improve accountability and long-term engagement. The fastest way to shift board culture is to ask more thoughtful, open-ended questions that invite ownership instead.   “Being able to define and articulate and clarify what the board's role is, and teach that to them, and then have them hold themselves to the expectation, can really lighten up a lot of load on the executive director and staff.”   “When you start with a mission-focused approach, you lead with the mission every time. It's my golden rule: lead with the mission."   “If you want engaged board members who are going to roll their sleeves up and get to work... then you have to mirror that energy from the beginning." - Elise Woodworth   Elise Woodworth is a national speaker and board relations coach known for her clarity‑driven approach to strengthening nonprofit boards. A VMI graduate, Air Force Veteran, and MBA, she is the author of Business, Not Battle and creator of The Four Champions model.

This one's a real conversation, not theory. Sitting down with retired Air Force Chief Master Sergeant Don Taggart, and his story is honestly something a lot of traders will relate to.Started in 2020, caught the easy gains, felt like everything was working… then 2022 hit and wiped out 56 percent. That's where most people quit. He didn't. He rebuilt, tightened his process, and by 2024 turned things around profitably.What's refreshing here is how straightforward his approach is now. No chasing hype. No random trades. Just sticking to a plan, focusing on ETFs, and letting the data guide decisions instead of emotions.And you can really hear it in the way he talks about it. It's not about being perfect. It's about being consistent.Here's what comes up in the conversation:✅ What actually went wrong in 2022✅ Why bull markets can trick you into bad habits✅ How he simplified everything with ETFs✅ Using OVTLYR to stay focused on real signals✅ Building a plan and actually sticking to itNothing fancy here. Just real lessons, a few hard hits, and a much smarter approach on the other side.If trading has felt messy or inconsistent lately, this will probably hit home.Subscribe to OVTLYR for disciplined trading strategies that actually make sense.

In this episode of VISITORS, Kelly sits down with Jeff Nuccetelli, Air Force veteran, federal law enforcement officer, and congressional UAP witness, whose 20-year silence about what happened at Vandenberg finally broke in front of Congress. Jeff walks through the October 2003 Red Square incursion, the night a craft landed on the flight line and an OSI colonel showed up the next morning, and why witnesses stopped calling in lights after one of his best officers was quietly threatened with career destruction. He gets into what it cost him personally to testify, the flood of new witnesses that came forward after the September hearing, and why he's convinced no help is coming from the UAP community or Congress and what he and Dylan Borland and Matthew Brown are doing about it.  He also talks about growing up with the Presque Isle landing in his family, traveling to Brazil with James Fox, and why he thinks reality itself is the thing that's actually classified.

Now, she's building a military community on Twitch, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and Instagram.Also in this episode: a veteran whose therapy chickens are in a legal battle, new legislation authorizing psychedelic-assisted therapy research for veterans, and why soldiers are being warned about "honeypots."Episode LinksWhere to find War Hamster on social mediaFrom the War Horse: Finding solace in chickensUtah could soon study psychedelic-assisted therapy for PTSDStrange, but Service-Connected: Beware the HoneypotWatch War Hamster's take on the danger of Honeypots

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: Air Force Veteran, Former All-Source Intelligence Analyst, loving and devoted wife, UAP and HNI experiencer, humanitarian, non-globalist human rights efforts activist Michaela FacharA distinguished U.S. Air Force veteran, Michaela served as an All-Source Intelligence Analyst, including a deployment to the CENTCOM Air Operations Center in Qatar from October 2020 to May 2021. There, she processed mission reports, including anomalous UAP activity and instances of "blue on blue" information - revealing choke points in intelligence flow that she later went public with on to highlight systemic issues in information sharing. Her analytical sharpness - honed through high-stakes environments - extended to China-focused intelligence work, leveraging her Mandarin proficiency from time spent living in China earlier in life. Following her deployment, she interned with the Defense Intelligence Agency's Special Operations Division before diving into academia.At Georgetown University, Michaela earned her Master's in Foreign Service. Immersed in courses on globalization, international relations theory, realism, idealism, and social constructivism, she sought to dissect policy failures to prevent future missteps. Yet, in the year 2021, during this intellectually intense period, her path veered into the extraordinary. What began as accelerated insights and "downloads" escalated into a life-altering experience: contact with non-human intelligence (NHI).This encounter unfolded dramatically - marked by crumbling perceptions of space-time, urgent premonitions of nuclear risks, symbolic visions, and a surreal hospital sequence blending apparent government orchestration, psychological distress, and spiritual liberation. She encountered entities, received symbolic messages, and felt cosmic connections. Though initially attributed to potential mental health challenges, the experience ultimately liberated her spiritually, shifting her from a "normie" national security trajectory to one aligned with deeper truths.Today, Michaela walks her true path with fierce purpose. She envisions collaborating with trustworthy allies to liberate children from demonic influences and believes many courageous souls volunteered for this pivotal time to transition humanity away from globalist, satanic Illuminati control. CONNECT WITH MICHAELA: X: https://x.com/MichaelaFacharIG: https://www.instagram.com/michaelafachar/ CONNECT WITH FOCUS CONGO: IG: https://www.instagram.com/focuscongo/LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/focuscongo?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnOFPJEb44ul3qAAyHFSaWXCFJFLReDuHR-jhCSJfI0ib6im99chksEXVuPVM_aem_7lD03RV2SsU1ofEYtyk9-gCONNECT WITH EMMA:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.coSupport the show

Great Podcast with my friends from House In The Woods Jeff Shock and Jason Seavey. Jason, an Air Force Veteran originally from Maine and now planted in the Fox Valley with his wife, and Jeff proud volunteer and guide are gearing up for Sturgeon Spearing opener this weekend. They've got 13 veterans from across Wisconsin coming in to try their luck on the ice. That's what it's about camaraderie, purpose, and the outdoors. In 2023, I traveled to Maine and had a successful bear hunt with them. Firsthand experience: this organization is the real deal. Phenomenal mission. Real impact.

Malcolm Copeland, Air Force Veteran, in Episode 235 of the Transition Drill Podcast, his story addresses a reality most veterans face. The military gives you structure, identity, and momentum, but it doesn't guarantee relevance once you leave. His transition wasn't about replacing one job with another. It was about reclaiming control and creating his own structure instead of relying on someone else's. His story is a reminder that transition isn't a single event at separation. It's a shift in ownership.Malcolm isn't just an Air Force veteran; he's a master of transition who's navigated the high-stakes world of elite military units and the complex landscape of civilian entrepreneurship. In this episode dive deep into his journey from a curious kid in Long Island to a crew chief for the a famous jet in Hollywood history.Malcolm grew up in West Islip, New York, where he spent his days taking apart electronics just to see how they worked. That engineering mindset was his gift, but his life hit a major crossroads when he lost his father at just 13 years old. This unexpected loss pushed him to grow up fast and find a path that offered adventure and independence, so he enlisted in the Air Force at 17. He didn't just fix planes, he became an elite technician. From working on the block forties in South Korea to maintaining the CV-22 Ospreys that appeared in the first Transformers movie, Malcolm lived the high-tempo life of military maintenance.His career reached a pinnacle when he joined the Thunderbirds. In that world, precision isn't just a goal, it's a requirement. He learned that teamwork and structure can make the impossible happen, like swapping an F-16 engine in half the standard time to ensure a show never gets canceled. But Malcolm's story doesn't end on the flight line. After 14 years of service, he took a unique risk by appearing on the first season of Married at First Sight. While the show wasn't a match, his honesty on screen led him to his soulmate; she was from Germany. He moved overseas, mastered the challenges of a blended family of eventually six children, and finished his engineering degree and MBA.Today, back in the United States with his family, Malcolm's focused on the future of veteran entrepreneurship. He's the founder of Eighth Ascent, where he helps veterans launch business ideas in just 28 days. He's also a leading voice on how AI and automation will impact the workforce. He's helping veterans build businesses that are future-proof, ensuring they keep the purpose and passion they had in uniform. Malcolm's life proves that with the right azimuth, you can navigate any transition and build a legacy that lasts.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comEPISODE BLOG PAGE AND CONNECT WITH MALCOLM:https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.com/post/air-force-veteran-malcolm-copeland-on-thunderbirds-and-military-transition-drill-podcastSPONSORS:GRND CollectiveGet 15% off your purchaseLink: https://thegrndcollective.com/Promo Code: TRANSITION15Blue Line RoastingGet 10% off your purchaseLink: https://bluelineroasting.comPromocode: Transition10Frontline OpticsGet 10% off your purchaseLink: https://frontlineoptics.comPromocode: Transition10

Joining us on this episode of Living Off Rentals is someone who built confidence, systems, and time freedom by learning real estate from the ground up. Stephanie Bacue is a U.S. Air Force veteran, short-term rental investor, and founder of Simply Welcome Stays. After transitioning from military service to corporate consulting, she began learning real estate as a complete beginner and went on to build a remote portfolio of short-term rental duplexes in Greenville, South Carolina. Listen as she shares how she bought her first duplex remotely, why she chose Greenville as her market, and how military discipline helped her create systems, remove emotion from decisions, and manage STRs with confidence from afar.

Invisible wounds can follow Warriors long after the uniform comes off. How do mission, purpose, and leadership evolve after service? In this week's Your Next Mission ® video podcast, SMA Tilley welcomes Kevin Weaver, Co-Founder, President & CEO of The Warrior's Journey, and U.S. Air Force Veteran, for a powerful conversation about peer-to-peer support, the invisible battles Veterans face, and the importance of connection, purpose, and community beyond service. 

Want to be a guest or know someone would be a great fit? I am looking for military vets, active duty, military brats, veteran service orgs or anyone in the fitness industryYour body isn't a mystery box—and “that's normal” is not a medical plan.In this episode, we sit down with Tierra Duncan, Air Force veteran, women's health educator, and author of The Birth Control Illusion, for a straight-talk conversation about what so many women were never taught: how our cycles actually work, what birth control really does, why endometriosis is often misunderstood, and what's happening during the hormonal shift of perimenopause.With clear language and zero fear-mongering, Tierra breaks down estrogen, progesterone, and ovulation—and shows how understanding them can turn confusing symptoms into actionable information. We trace her journey from the flight line to health advocacy, and explore how military culture's “mission first” mindset often trains women to ignore pain, fatigue, and mood changes as background noise.Tierra explains why the pill's “withdrawal bleed” isn't a true period, how synthetic hormones differ from bioidentical options, and what informed consent in women's healthcare should actually look like. We also dig into endometriosis as a full-body condition, the role of prostaglandins in pain, and why symptom severity doesn't always show up on scans.Rather than prescribing a one-size-fits-all solution, this conversation focuses on building a strong foundation—sleep quality, strength training, adequate protein and fiber, and stress boundaries—so you can decide if labs, hormone therapy, or other interventions belong in your plan.If hot flashes, brain fog, low libido, or cycle chaos have you wondering where to start, this episode gives you a practical checklist for smarter care: track your symptoms, clarify your goals, and walk into appointments with better questions and better language. You'll leave reminded that clarity is power—and that feeling vibrant at every stage of life is not too much to ask.Find Tierra's resources and book details in the show notes.

In this episode of The MisFitNation, host Rich LaMonica welcomes U.S. Air Force Veteran Peter Gunn — a bodybuilder, poet, guitarist, and visionary creative on a mission to awaken minds and restore artistry to storytelling. Peter's story spans 20 years of honorable military service, a lifelong passion for poetry, and a deep spiritual journey inspired by a near-death experience at age seven. He's the founder of LLP (Linked-Lyrical-Poetry), creator of The Amazons series — rewriting the hero's journey through a feminine lens — and the visionary behind the Sigma Squad graphic novel series based on ancient Gnostic texts. Now, as the lead guitarist for The Angellics, Peter blends philosophy, poetry, and rock to explore themes of awakening, courage, and consciousness. Their debut album Hazing Hades dropped on August 17, 2025, marking another chapter in his creative evolution.

This week, Big Chief takes a heartfelt ride on The Whiskey Trip with two remarkable guests — Seth Fuston, U.S. Air Force Veteran and Co-Founder & President of Staves of Honor, and Eric Lytle, dedicated First Responder and Board Member. Together, they share the story of Staves of Honor, a nonprofit built to support veterans, first responders, and law enforcement officers through fellowship, charity, and the shared love of whiskey. What began as a small brotherhood of service members has grown into a nationwide movement — pouring hope and purpose back into the lives of those who've sacrificed so much. As a veteran himself, Big Chief understands the challenges that come after service — the search for belonging, the weight of the memories, and the need for community. Over two incredible barrel picks from The Blendery, the three men raise a glass to those who serve, protect, and continue to lead with heart:     •    “Final Ryde” – an undisclosed blend of 75/21/4 bourbon, 60/36/4 bourbon, and 95/5 rye whiskey, finished in a 15-year-old “BuffTurkey” barrel.     •    “Razz Hunny Pie” – a beautiful mix of 60/36/4 Indiana bourbon blended with a 51/45/4 bourbon from Green River, finished in an 18-year-old Barton 1792 barrel. With each pour, they talk about the mission, the meaning, and the magic that happens when whiskey brings people together for something bigger than themselves. So pour one with us, take a deep breath, and join Big Chief, Seth, and Eric as they toast to service, healing, and brotherhood — because at Staves of Honor, every pour has a purpose, and every sip honors sacrifice.
