In this episode of "Cancer Actually F**king Sucks", we sit down with Danny, an active duty Special Agent in the U.S. Air Force and a gastric cancer survivor. Danny takes listeners on a profound journey from diagnosis to triumph, sharing how his military training prepared him for his battle against cancer. Throughout the conversation, Danny sheds light on the pivotal role of the Hunter Seven Foundation, a nonprofit aiding active duty personnel and veterans in linking their illnesses to toxic exposures during deployment. From moments of challenge to unexpected sources of hope, Danny's story epitomizes resilience in the face of adversity, the importance of family, and the power of community. Tune in for an inspiring discussion around navigating cancer as a young adult and taking page out of Ted Lasso's book by believing - believing in yourself and that you'll make it through.

This week we welcome Dale Jenkins, Author of DIPLOMATS AND ADMIRALS: From Failed Negotiations and Tragic Misjudgments to Powerful Leaders and Historic Deeds, the Untold Story of the U.S. Navy's Victories at Coral sea and Midway.  Diplomats and Admirals argues that the war in the Pacific was the result of internal divisions in both the United States and Japan, and possible duplicity within the Roosevelt administration.  After continued Japanese expansion in the Pacific in 1941 and the total oil embargo imposed by Dean Acheson, the threat of war escalated.  Japanese Prime Minister Konoe realized war with the United States would be disastrous for Japan.  He made strenuous attempts to arrange a summit meeting with President Roosevelt but was continually rebuffed by Secretary of State Cordell Hull and his pro-China advisors Stanley Hornbeck and Alger Hiss.  Roosevelt's War Council, oblivious to the power of the Japanese Navy, believed the oil embargo would force Japan to withdraw from southern Indo-China.  An agreement with Japan was within reach at the end of November 1941, but Chiang Kai-Shek and Madame Chiang exerted powerful lobbying pressure to prevent an agreement – they wanted the United States in the war to aid China.  In response, Hull delivered a demanding diplomatic note, known forever as the Hull Note of November 26, which the Japanese viewed as an ultimatum.  The result was Pearl Harbor.  Diplomats and Admirals' penetrating historical descriptions and insights before and during WWII and across continents and oceans, culminates at the Battle of Midway, where U.S. Navy carrier pilots snatched victory from defeat in the last possible moments– a decisive victory that stopped further Japanese expansion and turned the momentum of the Pacific War from Japan to the United States.  We discuss the parallels between that time, and our current geo-political climate, specifically Russia and China.  Dale analyzes why if we do not learn from history we are doomed to repeat it.  The greatest generation is front and center in this week's interview.For more information about Dale Jenkins and his book Diplomats and Admirals go to https://daleajenkins.comPlease join our efforts in raising money to provide multi-cancer screening for at risk veterans.  We have set up a fundraiser with Fund the First, all proceeds will go to the  HunterSeven Foundation to purchase Galleri® Multi-Cancer Early Detection Test for veterans identified as high risk through their Immediate Needs Program.  To make a donation or to find out more about our fundraiser go to https://fundthefirst.com/campaign/multi-cancer-screening-kits-for-veterans-3eiblv

This week we welcome Robyn Grable, founder of Talents Ascend.  Talents Ascend is an AI-powered talent sourcing website that matches job-seekers with employers, using skill profiles rather than traditional resumes.  Starting with Veterans Ascend, Robyn set out to not only simplify the veteran hiring process, but also to improve the process of  matching veterans with employers.  She has since expanded this goal to disabled job-seekers, individuals with criminal records, and now the general public.  Her inspiration for the company was born out of her own difficulty to find a job after retiring from her military career despite her impressive skillset.  One of the problems with today's hiring process is the requirement for resumes and direct task experience. Enter the Talents Ascend job match tool changing the face of hiring. This AI-Powered talent sourcing algorithm doesn't require a resume to find jobs. It translates military and civilian occupations into a skillset that is marketed to the specific needs of employers using soft skills like loyalty, teamwork, and dedication.  We discuss the challenges veteran, and military spouses, face when trying to find employment; with 37% of veterans underemployed or underpaid, a military spouse unemployment rate of 24%, and 66% of  military families on government assistance because of spouse unemployment.  Talents Ascend looks to change all of that, and help military and veteran families find not only a "job"  but a career.  So throw away that old resume that still has a paper route under work experience, and enjoy this week's interview.For more information about Talents Ascend go to https://talentsascend.com.Please join our efforts in raising money to provide multi-cancer screening for at risk veterans.  We have set up a fundraiser with Fund the First, all proceeds will go to the  HunterSeven Foundation to purchase Galleri® Multi-Cancer Early Detection Test for veterans identified as high risk through their Immediate Needs Program.  To make a donation or to find out more about our fundraiser go to https://fundthefirst.com/campaign/multi-cancer-screening-kits-for-veterans-3eiblv

This week we welcome Jim Lorraine, President and CEO of America's Warrior Partnership.  Jim served in the U.S. Air Force as a Flight Nurse with nine combat deployments and retired as the Deputy Command Surgeon for the United States Special Operations Command after 22 years of service.  After serving as the founding director of the United States Special Operations Command Care Coalition and as a Special Assistant for Warrior and Family Support to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Jim has stepped up to lead America's Warrior Partnership.  AWP partners with communities to prevent veteran suicide.  Their programs accomplish this by starting at the community level and understanding the unique situations of veterans and their families.  They utilize an upstream approach to veteran empowerment by connecting, educating, advocating for, and collaborating with veterans, their families, caregivers, and the communities that support them.  AWP provides veteran-serving organizations with the tools to implement a customized program that is responsive to local veterans, families, and caregivers.  At the same time, they provide VSOs with a connection to national resources when a veteran's request cannot be met locally.  This episode is all about fixing a national problem from the community level up, so sit back relax an enjoy this week's interview.For more information about America's Warrior Partnership go to https://www.americaswarriorpartnership.org.Please join our efforts in raising money to provide multi-cancer screening for at risk veterans.  We have set up a fundraiser with Fund the First, all proceeds will go to the  HunterSeven Foundation to purchase Galleri® Multi-Cancer Early Detection Test for veterans identified as high risk through their Immediate Needs Program.  To make a donation or to find out more about our fundraiser go to https://fundthefirst.com/campaign/multi-cancer-screening-kits-for-veterans-3eiblv

This week we welcome Maj. Fred Galvin (Ret.), Marine Officer and author of A Few Bad Men.  A Few Bad Men tells the story of Fox Company, a Marine unit ambushed in Afghanistan and betrayed by their own leaders—these elite Marines fought for their lives again, back home.  A cross between A Few Good Men and American Sniper, this is the true story of an elite Marine special operations unit bombed by an IED and shot at during an Afghanistan ambush. The Marine Commandos were falsely accused of gunning down innocent Afghan civilians following the ambush. The unit's leader, Maj. Fred Galvin, was summarily relieved of duty and his unit was booted from the combat zone. They were condemned by everyone, from the Afghan president to American generals. When Fox Company returned to America, Galvin and his captain were the targets of the first Court of Inquiry in the Marines in fifty years.  Maj.  Galvin demonstrated what it means to be a real leader, and fought for the lives and reputations of his Marines.  Strap yourself in for a story fit for Hollywood, but lived by Maj. Galvin and the men of Fox Company.Bulletproof Veteran Podcast is raising money for the HunterSeven Foundation, supporting their mission of researching the impacts of toxic exposure on our countries military.  Helps us by purchasing any of Bulletproof Veteran's apparel, now available at https://amzn.to/3BA3dx9.  All proceeds raised through the end of July will be donated to the HunterSeven Foundation.

Chunk and his core team -- Saw, a skilled and lethal sniper; Riker, who has an uncanny ability to escape death; and Whitney Watts, a former CIA analyst who sees patterns everyone else seems to miss -- are mobilized to prosecute the threat.  Fearing they may have been duped into chasing the wrong target, Chunk and his team embark on a high-stakes cat-and-mouse mission where nothing -- and no one -- is what they expect. And when their enemy finds a way to strike at the heart of what's nearest and dearest to them, it will test not only their bonds but also the personal sacrifices they've made to keep America safe.Brian and Jeff discuss the ever changing world of military fiction, and how current events have played into their writing.  They talk about the importance of brining in the new landscape that current special operation units face, while developing the story of the next generation of special operations warriors.  We also discuss if Brian and Jeff believe that we are returning to Cold War era military fiction (My Iron Eagle fans need to know!).  So get ready for some door-kicking fun with this weeks episode!For more information about Jeff and Brian go to www.andrews-wilson.comOrder Sons of Valor 2 now at Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, or wherever your favorite books are sold.Our veteran owned business of the week is K9 Salute.  K9 Salute was founded in 2016 by Jessica Harris, a retired Combat Medic from the Washington Army National Guard, as a way to honor and remember our nation's K-9 heroes that serve in all capacities (military, law enforcement, fire, search & rescue, and the many service dogs that assist people in day to day life).  They provide all-natural dog treats for our 4-legged family members, while giving back to service dog and police K9 organizations.  For more information about K9 Salute go to https://www.k9salute.com.Bulletproof Veteran Podcast is raising money for the HunterSeven Foundation, supporting their mission of researching the impacts of toxic exposure on our countries military.  Helps us by purchasing a F*ck Heart Disease shirt, now available at https://amzn.to/3BA3dx9.  All proceeds will be donated to the HunterSeven Foundation.

“If you overstack your plate, you're not serving anyone because then you just suck at everything. It was the case for me. You're going to be half-assed at everything.”  - Keith Dow 6ers, this episode is about finding joy and fulfillment in continuing to be of service as a civilian. Navigating service to others as a career is not as easy as it seems but for veterans who feel a deep sense and urge to be of service to others outside the military organization, the feeling of gratification is all they need.  This week, Tony Nash is joined by https://deadreckoningco.com/pages/about (Keith Dow.)  A US Army veteran who is the founder of https://deadreckoningco.com/ (Dead Reckoning Collective,)  a publishing company for veteran writers who use words as their medium to share the often untold stories and experiences in the military.

It's about wanting to make a difference by serving the public interest and working tirelessly for the community.  In the end, you will understand how civil service as a career means allowing yourself to be served by others and learning to avoid over commitment so you can offer your best self. ----- 00:40 - Introduction 02:05 - Finding a sense of service to the community after military active duty  03:54 - Poetry as a way to hold off vulnerability  04:37 - Keith talks about HunterSeven Foundation  05:57 - Allowing yourself to be served by others  07:04 - What influenced Keith to choose the advocacy of service to others 09:39 - Behavioral changes and habits that change Keith's life during transition  12:15 - The driving force behind choosing service as a career  14:03 - Learning about managing time and avoiding over commitment  16:53 - Surrounding yourself with creative people ----- Here is how to connect with Keith:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/keith-dow-b1ba00141/ (LinkedIn)  https://deadreckoningco.com/ (Dead Reckoning Collective - Website)  https://twitter.com/drcpublishing (Dead Reckoning Collective - Twitter)  ----- Connect with Got Your Six podcast: https://www.thetonynash.com/podcast (Website) https://www.instagram.com/gotyour6pod/ (Instagram) https://discord.gg/KPPzmevp (Discord) https://www.linkedin.com/company/gotyour6pod/ (LinkedIn) https://twitter.com/gotyour6pod (Twitter) https://www.tiktok.com/@gotyour6pod?

This week we welcome Joseph Zoleta, founder of the Black 6 Project and Black 6 Coffee Trading Company.  Joseph takes us on an amazing adventure that started in the early 80's in the Philippines.  At just five years old Joseph immigrated to the United States, and settled in Queens, NY.  Under the shadow of the City That Never Sleeps, he assimilated into his new culture, and, along with his family, began to build a life through the American dream.  Like so many New Yorkers, Joseph was changed forever on 9/11, when, from his home, he could see the smoke billowing from the Twin Towers.  It was at that moment, Joseph decided to join the fight.  He enlisted in the Marine Corps, and by 2002 was headed to boot camp.  After multiple tours in Iraq, Joseph separated from the military and the next chapter of his life began.  He found a new mission and continued to serve as an EMT, and then as a paramedic.  Joseph was soon paired with former Navy corpsman, David Guzman.  While sitting in their ambulance and enjoying a simple conversation, Joseph and David came up with the idea for the Black 6 Project.  The Black 6 Project is an organization that looks for volunteers that have the motivation to serve for the greater  good. It is an organization that can pool its resources of motivated individuals and bring care to those in need anywhere in the world.  This led the team to also create Black 6 Coffee Trading Company, which helps fund their humanitarian efforts.  Their passion for coffee is only surpassed by their desire to use their medical skills to help those in need. By sharing their love for coffee with the world, they invite you to take the journey with them to the remote villages, the river crossings, and the uncertain trails where people do not have access to good healthcare.  So sit on your back porch, pour yourself a fresh cup, and enjoy this week's episode.For more information about the Black 6 Project and Black 6 Coffee Trading Company go to https://www.black6project.org/ and https://black6coffee.org/Our veteran owned business of the week is Bravo Actual Supplements.  Bravo Actual seeks to provide exceptional health and fitness supplements to all athletes who are willing to give it their all.  Make sure to check out Rack Out, an advanced sleep aid created in collaboration with the medical professionals at HunterSeven Foundation.  For more information and to purchase Bravo Actual Supplements go to https://bravoactual.com/Support the show and get your Bulletproof Veteran apparel at https://amzn.to/3BA3dx9 or see all the available shirts at http://bulletproofveteran.com/apparel

How many thousands of veterans, service members, civilians, contractors… have died from deadly toxic exposures and lack-of/ill-informed healthcare...The HunterSeven Foundation is the only nonprofit organization to publish firsthand research on toxic exposures not only nationally but internationally as well... In addition, the research is by veterans, for veterans with advanced medical degrees.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/theprotectors)

Eye-opening conversation with Chelsey and Nikki from the HunterSeven Foundation. We are losing the wars at home, not just by suicide, but by exposure to toxins/toxics/death that we were exposed to as pits of unknown refuse were burned 24/7/365 on the bases/FOBs/Camps we were at...Sometimes we don't know it, then the symptoms start.... allergy symptoms, gall-bladder shuts down, intense headaches, acid reflux....so many more. As we recorded our episode tonight I started checking off my own symptoms; allergies (when I never had any before)- Check, Gall Bladder removed - Check, Acid Reflux- Check...the list goes on. How many of us have these symptoms? HunterSeven is on the hunt to track down that information. We need to track it. Investigate where this destructive toxin originated from. Our interview is coming soon. Editing now. Please support HunterSeven's mission. Thank you both for coming on. Note: I served in Kuwait then north to Balad, Iraq in 2005/2006, with exposures along the way...Highway of Death to Burn Pits in Balad.  Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/theprotectors)
