During his time in the Army, he completed two tours in Iraq and one tour in Afghanistan along with multiple training missions both stateside and overseas. While serving he earned is Associates Degree in General Studies from Central Texas College and shortly after retiring, completed a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies from Park University.After retiring, Craig decided he wanted to continue to be involved in the military community and currently serves as a Benefits Specialist with United Shield Life Insurance. He uses his position there to not only educate transitioning service members on many aspects of transitioning from the military.

Although the area of life insurance is his main focus area, he also uses the knowledge he learned from his transition, as well as the network he has developed to assist transitioning service members in almost all areas of transition.If you enjoy the podcast, please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes.

“When you learn what you have to do, and you understand how it works, the path of least resistance is laid before you to help move on.” Rob Lougee Access to information is a primary factor to ensuring that veterans going through tough situations receive available assistance. Our guest today has been working with the disabled veterans for a long time to help them set up successful businesses and careers. Rob E. Lougee, a service-connected disabled veteran of the Persian Gulf War, was appointed Assistant National Employment Director of the 1.3 million-member Disabled American Veterans (DAV) in March 21, 2016. From the DAV National Headquarters located in Cold Spring, Kentucky, Mr. Lougee manages special employment initiatives and works with private and public sector entities to develop and build partnerships to address joblessness and underemployment, as well as facilitate job fairs and lead efforts to connect veterans and transitioning service members to employers. A Boston native, Mr. Lougee enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1983 and served until 1992 in the First Armored and First Calvary Divisions, attaining the rank of specialist. His awards included the Meritorious Service Medal, Army Commendation Medal, Army Achievement Medal, Southwest Asia Medal with three bronze stars and the Kuwait Liberation Medal. Mr. Lougee joined DAV's professional staff as a National Service Officer Trainee in 1993. Three years later, he was promoted to National Service Officer Supervisor and served as a National Area Supervisor from 2002 to 2008 until an appointment to serve as Adjutant and Executive Director for the DAV Department of Colorado. Mr. Lougee returned to serving as a National Service Officer Supervisor and National Area Supervisor following more than a year in the Department of Colorado's top post. He is a life member of DAV Chapter 19 in Cold Spring, Kentucky. Mr. Lougee studied business at Central Texas College. He lives in Hebron, Kentucky. He has a daughter named Amanda living in Colorado. In today's episode, Rob will talk about his work caring for disabled veterans and the various resources that they can leverage for their good. Listen in! Social Media; LinkedIn link: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-lougee-9710526 Most of the males in my family all served in the military and I joined the military back in 83. [12:54] I was blessed to be able to serve in outstanding military units and came back thankfully with all my appendages. [3:18] The military taught me so much about my ability to endure the unknown and to think strategically, to understand what commitment is, and to think on my feet. [3:38] I've been with the DAV now professionally for 26 years and I enjoy taking care of my fellow veterans and their families. [4:28] We give disabled vets a chance and we try to take care of them through the many programs and services that we have. [5:05] It is my pleasure to try to engage veterans and meaningful employment opportunities and provide them the tools and the information to get it. [5:27] I always encourage all people who have served in the military to register with the VA, regardless of whether they need the assistance or not. [7:46] Every veteran that wore the uniform, put their lives out there for their country, whether they actually went to war or not and so deserve all the benefits that they are entitled to. [8:49] The DAV wants to engage with any entity that is interested in hiring veterans and here many companies that have hired veterans. [10:27] I ask veterans to keep an open mind, not just think about what they did in the military but understand their capabilities and take a chance every now and then. [11:59] You may not always get what you want or what you think you need, but you have to start somewhere. [12:17] Predominantly, a lot of us join the military start right after our 18th birthday and often don't know what we want to do with our lives. [13:55] During your military journey, you realize your capabilities and the different things about yourself, and you learn to grow like everybody else does. [14:14] The military culture is a little more stringent where people are trained very specifically to do their [14:28] You should volunteer for every school the military is willing to send you to because at the end of the day, that's going to help you when you get out of the military. [14:46] Commercial Break. [15:22] The proportion of service disabled veteran owned small businesses. versus civilian businesses how that we have a greater percentage of just under 9% are veteran owned. [19:56] We are hoping that more veterans are engaged through entities such as SBA in different levels help them set up their business. [21:00] 45% of veterans that are leaving the military are more likely to think about beginning their own small business and one out of 10 small businesses in the US is veteran owned. [22:09] The skill set of problem solving is probably the greatest attribute that a veteran entrepreneur possesses. [22:47] We are working diligently through several government entities to try to level the playing field and get the privileges that minority groups are entitled to. [24:08] One of the issues that you have in small business world is that you have small businesses that fail, because they don't understand the business concept of small business. [26:38] We have a lot of resources out there to help veterans, whether disabled or not and even women veterans. [27:14] I want to ensure that every veteran that has an idea and wants to explore it have the information they need to go down that path to see if it is for them or not. [27:42] Regardless of whether you are a non-profit or for profit, to be in business for 100 years is an achievement. [29:53] We are very excited to be able to finally celebrate our centennial celebration where September 26, and 27th will be the major dates. [30:36] You always want to make sure that you're trying to do it better than the generation before you and da v has a track record of doing it better. [31:27] We understand that you have to evolve and so we're very proud of the fact that we've been able to stand the test of time. [31:38] We welcome all veterans out there that may want to become a part of our group, we can help find them find something to do within their capability level. [32:19] We live in a technological age and we have to maximize the potential of that not only for our donors sake, but for reaching out to that veteran or a service member. [33:19] When you learn what you have to do, and you understand how it works, the path of least resistance is laid before you to help move on. [33:38] They'll always be issues with transitioning out of the military and so we try to put that in some type of context. [34:11] Any veteran that is thinking about getting in or starting a business, there is a bunch of different resources available to help you push forward. [36:25] The VA has the office of small and disadvantaged business utilization; SBA has the Veterans Bennet business development. [36:38] The OVBV has an office that guides members through all the steps and starting a business; and the Institute of Veterans and Military Families which teach veterans and their families how to start and run a business. [37:00] There is also entrepreneurship bootcamp for veterans and patriot bootcamp who assist military members to creators, innovators and entrepreneurs. [37:52] We also have the Women Veteran Entrepreneurship for women veterans and the GSA who have a federal surplus for personal property donation program. [38:47] Think outside the box because you are capable of doing much more than what the military ever taught you. [41:35] …………………………………….

This episode represents the final section of my conversation with Josh Everett, professor of British literature at Central Texas College, and Edwin Crozier, preacher and co-host of the Text Talk podcast. If you have not checked out the first two installments, please do so. Here we discuss the literary legacy J.R.R. Tolkien has left for us, and the legacy of faith we inherit from those who came before and leave to those who come up afterward. “Generic fantasy” is a term boardgamers often use to describe the sort of quasi-human creatures that have become ubiquitous in our lifetime. We have seen enough dwarves, goblins, elves, sorcerers and halflings to fill a game library — and that is exactly what many have done. Others scoff at “generic fantasy,” saying it's all the same, hopelessly derivative and cliché. But it wasn't cliché in Tolkien's day. He made it cliché by doing it so well and inspiring thousands of copycats. We inherit a legacy from earlier generations of Christians, and we leave one for the generations to come. How important is it to respect what we have received, and what measures can we take to leave something valuable behind? Hal Hammons is the preacher for the Lakewoods Drive church of Christ in Georgetown, Texas. He is the host of the Citizen of Heaven podcast. You are encouraged to seek him and the Lakewoods Drive church through Facebook and other social media. Lakewoods Drive is an autonomous group of Christians dedicated to praising God, teaching the gospel to all who will hear, training Christians in righteousness, and serving our God and one another faithfully. We believe the Bible is God's word, that Jesus died on the cross for our sins, that heaven is our home, and that we have work to do here while we wait. Regular topics of discussion and conversation include: Christians, Jesus, obedience, faith, grace, baptism, New Testament, Old Testament, authority, gospel, fellowship, justice, mercy, faithfulness, forgiveness, Twenty Pages a Week, Bible reading, heaven, hell, virtues, character, denominations, submission, service, character, COVID-19, assembly, Lord's Supper, online, social media, YouTube, Facebook.  Key words: Tolkien, hobbits, Lord of the Rings, Lewis, C.S. Lewis, Narnia, fantasy, generic fantasy, legacy, copycats, cliche, Reformation, Frodo, Bilbo, Faramir, Samwise Gamgee,

This week I am sharing my conversation with two Christians who know Tolkien far better than I. Josh Everett is a professor of English literature at Central Texas College in Killeen; Edwin Crozier is an evangelist with the Livingston church of Christ in Lutz, Florida, and the co-host of the popular Text Talk podcast. Thank you for coming back for part two of my conversation with Josh Everett and Edwin Crozier.  We discussed the existence of evil in the first segment; please check that out if you have not done so already.In this segment, we discuss Joseph Loconte's excellent book, “A Hobbit, a Wardrobe, and a Great War.” He discusses the role World War I had on the lives of Tolkien and his friend, C.S. Lewis.

Episode 14 of the Green House Healthy Podcast hosted by Heather DeRose and Antonio DeRose is now live on your favorite podcast platform! 

Why Listen: Well, I just got done talking with Murph, and it's just such a great conversation and I wanted to just bookmark. A couple of things that we talked about in this interview because we cover quite a bit of ground. The first of all, I love Murphy's thinking around, expanding your thinking about what you're going to do in your career, and in his in his own story, and advice that he received along the way. He ended up doing things that he didn't initially plan when he got out of the military, out of the Marine Corps after 22 years of service, and it came from a conversation about expanding his thinking. He has great advice around never stopping your pursuit of your career, and there's stories, you'll hear about when he kind of backed off or thought he had a job and then it fell through, and I think is great advice for both career hiring, as well as sales. He works over at the University of Central Missouri and as their director of military and veteran services so he does have some great thoughts from his experience they're helping a lot of veterans. Talk about the value of education that keeps on coming up again and again and Murph story is the value that education has been to him to his Marines, his students, and whether that's after 20 years of service, or after three years of service, expanding one's horizons through education. We talked about the TV show that he's on called tough as nails and what it's like to be on a reality TV show and even though Murph is a giant of a man. He's a very you know gentle giant and very introverted and so he talks about what that experience was like being on the set, and what it was like and how that opportunity came about. And then I love He talks about a diploma being a certification of dedication I've never I've never heard that before but he talks about how rarely one's degree directly relates to what one does in their career, but it is beneficial for other reasons. We talked about Instagram and putting oneself out there, we talked about how his dream job was in the Marine Corps and a lot more. And so I think you'll really enjoy the show and check out the show notes, we've got a lot of links from today's episode, and check out CBS as tough as nails with him, it'll be launching. Shortly after this podcast goes live. I want to give a special thanks because the only reason we were able to record. Today's brand new episode is thanks to a sponsorship financial sponsorship from the Carlson School of Management and really can't express enough gratitude for how much I enjoy doing new episodes and how many people that benefits and this point were only really able to do that through financial sponsorship. So I wanted to share more about an organization that is putting your money where your mouth is and helping beyond uniform continue our operations. So whether you're transitioning to a civilian career or continuing military service, an MBA from Carlson at the University of Minnesota prepares you for a high impact career in business. Carlson is committed to the veteran community and provides the benefits experiential learning and network to accelerate your career. In addition to a resident tuition waiver all admitted full time MBA military candidates receive generous scholarships and a stipend to cover expenses that may not be eligible for the GI Bill. You can learn more in the show notes for this episode at beyond the uniform.org, or you can email, em, ba, actually, let's see if I can remember this, Mike Bravo alpha at uniform. Mike november.edu that's MBA at IU mn.edu to learn more. Thank you. And with that, lets dive into today's conversation with Murph . About Murph: Murph is the Director of Military and Veteran Services at the University of Central Missouri. He is also a competitor on CBS’s new show, Tough as Nails. TOUGH AS NAILS is a competition series that celebrates everyday Americans who roll up their sleeves and don’t think twice about working long hard hours and getting their hands dirty, in order to keep their country running. On the show, competitors compete in challenges that take place at real-world job sites. Murph served in the Marine Corps for 22 years. Since his military service, he has worked as an Adjunct Faculty member at Central Texas College and Columbia College and also worked at Lowe’s in their as a Human Resrouce and Training Manager.
