Advocating and Supporting Our Nation's Veteran and Military Entrepreneurs There are more than 2.5 million veteran-owned businesses in the United States, but that still accounts for just 9% of small businesses in the U.S. In recognition of our nation's military-affiliated entrepreneurs, and as part of USAA's 100th anniversary in 2022, USAA has joined with Bunker Labs to launch a six-city pitch contest to showcase, celebrate and support the next generation of entrepreneurs, with a focus on veterans and military spouses. The “From Service to Start-Up” pitch contest, which features a $100,000 grand prize and $180,000 in additional placement prizes, seeks to reinforce to the veteran community that their military service and experience are valued and that their leadership and positive contributions to their communities are important. USAA has provided Bunker Labs more than $2.5 million since 2018 to ensure military-connected entrepreneurs receive the resources and support needed to start successful business ventures through programs such as Veteran in Residence, a six-month startup incubator that provides veterans, military spouses, and military family members with the community, national business network, and resources needed to grow their business. MAJ (Ret.) Mike Kelly, Assistant Vice President of Military Advocacy at USAA.

100% BS is joined by one of the most censored people on the internet and simultaneously, one of the kindest and most compassionate people I've ever spoken to. Alec Zeck is the Founder and Executive Director of Health Freedom for Humanity and is an outspoken advocate for freedom, body autonomy, and empowering people from all walks of life to take ownership of their wellness and freedom. He is also a husband, father, West Point grad, and Army Veteran. Summary:This episode explores the profound changes that COVID has had on the individual and collective – spanning from eerie levels of censorship, unthinkable invasions of privacy, tribalism, inability to see truth, divisiveness, and how it distills into every individual involved. In a world plagued by so many complex issues, Alec and I attempt to break down how you can positively impact others while respecting their path and process. We formulate the way to embody love and compassion for all, how to make sense of tragedy and darkness, and why the Universe is balanced in everything it does – which means you are balanced, too. Finally, Alec shares solutions as a way to move forward. In a particularly impactful moment, Alec explains what “you are free by virtue of existing” means and why standing in that freedom as a man or woman will yield beautiful outcomes beyond imagination.Key Points:·      Alec's crazy censorship story (deleted over 7 times)·      How to change peoples' minds and get people to trust themselves·      Ways to reclaim your inherent power·      How the governments' mandates are enforced via the people·      Law of One explanation including Service to Self vs Service to Others·      How the Law of One applies to COVID, mandates, and power dynamics·      Why turning people back to themselves is the key to embodied transformation·      Why the road to changing someone's mind is found through their heart·      Behind the scenes of the Health Freedom Symposium  Alec Links:Donate to HFFHHFFH Podcast (Top 50 Health & Wellness)The Way Forward PodcastTheWayFwrd Telegram Shop The Way Forward  Bella Links:Bella on IG 100% BS on IG Join my NewsletterWatch this episode on YouTube Writing on Substack

What better way to kick off Veteran's Day than to catch up with an old buddy. Garth Landis was in basic training on 9/11, finding out from his drill sergeants that he was now in an Army at war. He took part in the invasion of Iraq with the 3rd Infantry Division and went back to Iraq a few short years later. He then deployed twice to Kandahar, Afghanistan. Once with Sayre and I in 2010 and then a few years later to help tear down some of the facilities there.

Cory Mills, decorated veteran and GOP House candidate for Florida's 7th congressional district gives Just the News a shocking revelation. That the Biden Administration, either as a way of ‘cover up' or by ‘ineptitude', has not released or acknowledged that there was other ‘American blue passport holders' killed outside Kabul Airports gates in August, when a ISIS-K suicide-bomber carried out an attack, killing 13 American soldiers and 160 Afghans. Mills, says that he ‘knows one' of the victims, who was an American mother with her 2-year-old son, both of who were killed in the explosion, and that ‘no one's covering it' or ‘has a story on it'.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week in the final episode of the Marriage Is Series, Havilah chats with Dr. Clint Davis who talks about trauma within a marriage and what to do if there has been a betrayal or trauma within the marriage. What do you do if your marriage is ‘broken'? Covid has done a number on marriages. Pastors report seeing more divorces in the past year than they have in all of their cumulative years in ministry. Why? Dr. Clint explains that up until covid and the lockdowns we had maladaptive coping skills and were able to distract ourselves until we were all given no where else to turn but our homes. It either drove people closer or the wheels came off. Listen in as Havilah and Dr. Clint discuss how we try to put bandaids over bullet holes, how important community is for healthy feedback to know whether or not your situation is truly abusive, and how to heal from betrayal trauma. Clint Davis is an Army Veteran who has a Bachelor's in Psychology from Louisiana Tech University and Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from Fuller Theological Seminary.

The tougher the experience someone has in the military, the more they take away from it – and the more bonded they remain to the people who people who persevered beside them. Attending West Point and Army Ranger school provide plenty of opportunities to be tough and to learn to work as a team. Brendan Krasinski is a graduate of West Point and the Army Ranger school. During his six years in the Army, he served and trained in Egypt and Kuwait. Although he initially held a position in sales after leaving the military, he quickly realized it was not what he wanted to do with his life and pivoted to law school, eventually becoming a defense attorney. In this episode of Veteran Voices, produced in partnership with Vets2Industry, host Scott Luton speaks with Brendan about: • Why the correct answer to the question, “Why are you losing weight?” at West Point is always ‘exercise.' • Making life transitions more successful by looking at all of your options before making a choice • His top piece of advice for anyone planning to transition from the military to a civilian career with full recognition of their experience and skills Additional Links & Resources: Learn more about Veteran Voices here: https://supplychainnow.com/program/veteran-voices Subscribe to Veteran Voices and other Supply Chain Now programs here: https://supplychainnow.com/subscribe Learn more about Vets2Industry: https://vets2industry.org/ This episode was hosted by Scott Luton.

Anu Verma interviews ex-veteran and ex-convict Dane Gordon. Dane grew up with an alcoholic father and mentally ill mother. He lacked real love and connection as a child and became addicted to alcohol and drugs during early adulthood. He was a six year army veteran which followed by a mental breakdown and then six years in prison after he had burnt a church down. Through trial and failure, he got himself together (with the help of others) and found life inside of prison. He found a passion for sharing his story and speaking with others about their stories which he dreamed of following through upon his release. One thing he decided was to have a better relationship with his father and so they became best friends and spoke everyday. As his internal life got better, he was finding freedom inside of prison and remarkably he had found a purpose. Then one day, he received a terrible phone call that his father had gotten into a motorcycle accident and was killed instantly, his world was shattered. He couldn't even go to his funeral. The whole thing was devastating but in his suffering, he decided to suffer correctly.Follow us on:- Website: https://victim2victor.net/- Website:   https://victim2victor.net/- FACEBOOK:   https://www.facebook.com/victim2victor- TWITTER:    https://twitter.com/V2V_healing- Victim 2 Victor Audio Book Audible: https://adbl.co/3akVNCu - Victim 2 Victor Book on Amazon: https://amzn.to/34MQQyu

Many of the 500+ SFN Mentor Fathers, who are raising kids with special needs, have said: "I wish there was something like this when we first received our child's diagnosis. I felt so isolated. There was no one within my family, at work, at church or within my friend group who understood or could relate to what I was going through."SFN Mentor Fathers share their experiences with younger dads closer to the beginning of their journey raising a child with the same or similar special needs. The SFN Mentor Fathers do NOT offer legal or medical advice, that is what lawyers and doctors do. They simply share their experiences and how they have made the most of challenging situations.

Today it's flower growers in the south west of England who say the lack of staff will mean more problems for them. Many say they lost a quarter of their crop this year as there weren't enough pickers. They're now recruiting for workers to start in December and say unless the government extends the Seasonal Workers Pilot Scheme to include them, within the month, they're likely to face the same issues. There are warnings that British fishing will lose £300 million in the next five years, rather than gaining £148 million as the Government promised. The figures come from the National Federation of Fishermen's Organisations which says a cost benefit analysis of the impact of Brexit shows there are few winners in the UK fleet, and that an ‘opportunity has been squandered.' All week we're looking at different ways of getting a job in agriculture and the variety of roles on offer. New entrants are usually at the start of their working life, but we hear from someone who went into farm management after a military career. Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

If you know of Black Rifle Coffee Company or watch Mayans MC on FX, you may already know this week's Borne the Battle guest – Army Veteran, entrepreneur, actor and overall entertainer Vincent Vargas.It was a windy road that led him to this point in his life. Too many wild parties got him kicked out of college and ended his childhood dream of playing professional baseball. At 20, as a young father who was no longer playing ball or attending school, Vargas felt like a disappointment to his family.In 2003, during the invasion of Baghdad at the outbreak of the Iraq War, Vargas watched a televised newscast in which a Marine helped to topple a statue of dictator Saddam Hussein. News reporters interviewed the Marine's family, who emotionally expressed their pride in his service.The next day, Vargas went to a military recruiting office to enlist. He later served in both Iraq and Afghanistan as an Army Ranger, became a drill sergeant, and after serving, even joined the U.S. Border Patrol.In this week's episode of Borne the Battle, Vincent Vargas discusses his many transitions between sports, military and civilian lives, getting into acting, his time on the Drinkin' Bros podcast, and the founding of Beteran, his Veteran-focused clothing line that emphasizes empowerment and positivity rather than the prevailing Veteran narratives of depression, alcoholism, and suicide.Borne the Battle Veteran of the Week: Army Veteran Ricardo Barraza Also Mentioned in this Episode: https://vincentroccovargas.com/ VETSmile pilot program to improve affordable dental care access for Veterans Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers to provide an additional year for eligibility and reassessment of certain participants

Such an awesome time interviewing Army Veteran and Author, Jennifer Hobbs.

If you're an entrepreneur, tell us how you provide value to your clients.: I recently published my first book July 1 called Calmed.Growth After Trauma I just recently resigned from teaching after 12 years to start my own business to continue writing and helping others right, as well as helping veterans and their families. I have created a wellness course based on a healing framework that I would like to reach the families and friends of veterans. Eventually I would like to help people from all areas of trauma and struggle not just our veteran families. What were some small shifts in your mindset that you started doing to help get you to where you are today?: Well there is definitely a turning point when I started to educate myself on post traumatic growth. That has helped me to identify different ways to get more in touch with myself, practice mindfulness, and a whole lot of self-care. What breakthroughs have you had in life?: I would say the last year and a half there has been a number of breakthroughs. One of the first would be suffering from a head injury in February 2020 which then led to a rough recovery. Once identified that I was not in a good place emotionally, I knew I had to do something to get out of my funk. So from there I decided to get back to writing and write the book I told myself I would write for 16 years. I did just that but along with it came more breakthroughs with my own personal development as well as healing between myself and my husband who is also a combat veteran. Leaders are readers. What was a book that assisted you in life or is your "go to" for motivation/inspiration?: Struggle Well:Thriving in the Aftermath of Trauma by Ken Falke and Josh Goldberg --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/forginglife/message
