After two years behind bars, he walked free and built a life defined by obsession, discipline, and legacy.

In a business world awash with endless content, few voices cut through the noise like Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. In this episode, we sit down with the co-founders of Military Creator Con, James Van Prooyen and Marah Lago, for a candid conversation about the untapped entrepreneurial potential of America's military veterans and their families. The three dive into the values, mindset, and experiences that position veterans as pioneering creator capitalists, explore the origin and purpose of Military Creator Con, and unpack the unique blend of community, grit, and creativity shaping this movement. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go. Veterans as America's Untapped Entrepreneurial Force One of the central themes in this conversation is the notion that military veterans embody many of the qualities that make great entrepreneurs. All three agree that the ability to problem-solve under pressure, think outside the box, and adopt a daring, “pirate mentality” are forged through military service as much as through business challenges. James shares firsthand how being tasked with mission-critical communication and IT projects in remote environments taught him to adapt quickly, improvise, and persist; skills invaluable to starting and growing any venture. Marah, coming from a creative civilian background, adds that seeing military spouses and families approach challenges with ingenuity and resilience gave her new appreciation for the community-oriented nature of military life. Both agree that, contrary to common stereotypes, the military is not merely an environment of rigid order-following. Instead, it is a crucible for innovation and resourcefulness, making veterans natural candidates for building businesses or leading creative projects. Building a Community of Military Creators Military Creator Con was born out of a desire to unite veterans, active duty, and military-connected families who were blazing trails in art, digital media, entrepreneurship, and beyond. James and Marah  recognized a gap for military creators and entrepreneurs: while the discipline and camaraderie of military service fostered community, transitioning out of uniform often led to a sense of isolation in the civilian creative or business worlds. They envisioned MCC as a gathering to break down those silos, offering a space to learn, share ideas, and collaborate freely. The event's spirit is deliberately inclusive, welcoming not only veterans but also their spouses, families, and anyone connected to military life. Attendees range from podcasters and artists to business founders and technologists. Workshops and keynote talks are designed to equip participants with practical skills in storytelling, marketing, AI, and social impact — delivering on the promise to empower military-connected visionaries to realize their entrepreneurial dreams while staying true to their roots. Lessons in Grit, Creativity, and Community Throughout the episode, the trio reflects on what sets this community apart. There is an acknowledgment that veterans, and the military world in general, are often filled with what Lochhead calls “misfits”: people who don't always fit into conventional molds and are thus drawn to forging new paths. This trait, they argue, is the beating heart of entrepreneurship and creator culture. MCC aims to harness this shared sense of adventure, service, and innovation, nurturing it through mentorship, new technology, and peer support. Stories about overcoming challenges, learning on the fly, and even embracing some chaos, like a good laugh about rationed whiskey or unscheduled road trips, underscore the theme that creativity thrives on adaptability and boldness. By tapping into these lived experiences, Military Creator Con is more than just an event; it's a movement rallying a diverse community to shape the narrative of what it means to create, lead, and make an impact after service. To hear more from James and Marah about the MCC, download and listen to this episode.  Bio James Van Prooyen and Marah Lago are the founders of Military Creator Con (MCC).  James Van Prooyen, a U.S. Air Force veteran, launched MCC in 2020 as a way to bring military-connected creators, such as podcasters, filmmakers, and entrepreneurs, together to share their experiences and grow their impact. Marah Lago, his wife and co-founder, serves as the CEO of MCC and has been instrumental in expanding the event into a national gathering focused on community, mentorship, and creative empowerment. The conference has grown significantly since its inception, with the 2026 edition scheduled for April 16–18, 2026, in Arlington, Texas.

President Trump is about to deliver his State of the Union address to his biggest audience this year as Democrats prepare to fight back. Plus, a look at why Mexico's present is threatening to sue Elon Musk.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Last night's State of the Union was historic and unprecedented. President Trump highlighted record-breaking policy victories—reducing crime, ending wars, lowering gas prices, cutting illegal immigration, and saving lives from fentanyl. He also shared the emotional story of Sage Blair, a teen forced into a gender transition by her school, and spotlighted failures in U.S. government accountability. Meanwhile, Democrats repeatedly sat, glared, and refused to stand, exposing deep partisan divides. Trump called out Republican obstructionists like John Thune and revealed new intelligence on Iran's missile threat. This episode breaks down the shocking moments, policy wins, and viral clips from a speech crafted perfectly for social media.

Military values like honor, integrity, and courage don't matter much when everything is calm, supervised, and low-risk. They matter when you're tired, frustrated, authority is real, and nobody's watching. Today LTC Kirkland breaks down why military values only hold under pressure if they've been trained as habits, using Aristotle's practical ethics as the framework. Aristotle didn't treat virtue as a personal identity or something you “believe in.” He treated it like training: repetition, discipline, and practiced reps that show up automatically when stress hits. We'll also look at what military history shows happens when ethical discipline erodes over time—and why leaders don't “rise to the occasion,” they default to habit. What you'll learn today:  Why knowing the values ≠ living the values Aristotle's “virtue as habit” (and why it's deeply practical) How small decisions become “training reps” for character What command climate really means (what you correct vs. ignore) Why ethical failure creates strategic damage, not just personal consequences If this helped, subscribe for ROTC scholarship mentorship, leadership development, interviews, and application strategy.

In the military, much of the life of the person in the military is controlled by the military. They're usually those who are goal oriented and disciplined. But what if the spouse is more laid back? That couple is going to feel the normal frustration of those two personalities.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/lovelanguageminuteSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hello to you listening in Olympia, Washington! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more) for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. I am a storyteller of the old school. What do I mean? For over 30 years I've taught (and continue to teach) my clients and students the same thing: “Put down the paper and nobody gets hurt!” Why? Because storytellers have something to say that comes from their aliveness, which is what people most want to feel and connect with. Sharing our stories out loud brings them to light and life, and  encourages us to do what most folks fear more than snakes: stand up and speak up in public.   Story spoken aloud is what we leave of ourselves in another person. A story is an intimate lasting legacy, a permanent inheritance much like a vow or an oath. When we share our stories out loud, we connect with each other, we belong to each other. We might not realize it but we are creating a verbal promise, a vow, an oath of belonging. Think about how many times we've heard  someone say, "Repeat after me: I solemnly swear..." Marrying couples pledge faithfulness through the challenges and joys of marriage. Lawyers uphold the law, maintain client confidentiality, and act as an officer of the court. Doctors focus on ethics, patient care and societal responsibilities. Politicians preserve and defend the Constitution. US military support and defend the Constitution against all enemies. Immigrants becoming US citizens swear the Oath of Allegiance to the United States during a formal naturalization ceremony. From the time we are children in school we recite The Pledge of Allegiance, a patriotic promise of loyalty to the United States flag and the republic for which it stands. What happens when we share our stories out loud? They become real. We say what we mean, we mean what we say. We—and those hearing us—know what we stand for and what we won't stand for. Yes, you might write a story but it needs to be shared out loud to enrich and include the wider world. That's the legacy of the stories we leave in those who have heard them spoken aloud.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Four years after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began, new signs suggest Moscow's battlefield momentum may be fading. Russian troop levels have plateaued for the first time since the war started, and Ukrainian forces are reclaiming ground in key sectors. Ukraine hits a diplomatic roadblock as Hungary blocks a major European Union loan package and new sanctions on Russia, exposing fractures inside the bloc at a critical moment in the war. Diplomatic efforts to avoid a war with Iran continue as U.S. envoys head to Geneva for high-stakes talks — even as the threat of American strikes remains firmly on the table. In today's Back of the Brief — the fallout from the killing of cartel boss El Mencho spreads across Mexico. Americans in Puerto Vallarta are urged to shelter in place as unrest, road blockades, and flight disruptions ripple through tourist hubs.

In this episode of The Jason Cavness Experience, I sit down with Barry Gipson, better known as the Cowboys Unifier content creator, Dallas Cowboys superfan, and featured speaker at Military Creator Con. Barry shares how he built and monetized a content brand rooted in sports, community, and veteran identity. We break down how Facebook monetization actually works, how he generates revenue from memes and engagement, and why most creators quit before the real results show up. Barry is not just attending Military Creator Con. He's a featured speaker, sharing lessons from a decade of content discipline, audience building, and platform monetization.

Episode Summary In this episode, Gary Pinkerton reflects on a recent interview conducted for a PhD thesis on crisis leadership — and shares the real-world lessons he learned leading through high-stakes environments in the military, business, and investing. Gary explains why true crises are often preventable through preparation, liquidity, and resilient financial structures. Drawing from submarine operations, real estate investing, and leadership experience, he breaks down how effective leaders manage uncertainty, control emotional reactions, and make clear decisions when information is incomplete. At the center of the conversation is one powerful principle: Bad news never gets better with time. Listeners will learn how early communication, structured thinking, and trained decision-making processes can transform chaos into manageable action — whether in business, investing, or personal life. This episode delivers practical frameworks for crisis response, leadership development, and building organizations that function effectively even when leaders are absent.

Strategic calculations are intensifying as President Donald Trump weighs a possible strike, while Tehran warns that even a limited attack would be treated as full-scale aggression. Military planners caution that limited operations can quickly spiral, as forces reposition and military plans are refined. Whether the buildup leads to action or remains a posture of deterrence will depend largely on Trump’s decision and the response it provokes.

If a $26,000 drone repair can be done in the field—but policy says it has to be shipped back to the manufacturer, do you really have a reliability problem… or a repair access problem?Today on the show, I'm joined by William Santos, International Sales Manager at ABI Electronics and a global advocate for the Right to Repair movement.William recently wrote a compelling article titled “Readiness Through Repair: How the U.S. Military is Strengthening Capabilities with Right to Repair,” where he explores how repair access—or the lack of it—directly impacts mission readiness, lifecycle cost, and operational resilience within the U.S. military.For decades, highly trained military technicians have been prevented from repairing mission-critical equipment due to restricted access to diagnostic tools, software, and spare parts. That model is now being challenged. In April 2024, the U.S. Army announced plans to embed Right-to-Repair provisions into both new and existing contracts—a major shift with enormous implications for reliability, sustainment, and cost control.Today, we'll unpack what this policy change really means, why repair capability is inseparable from readiness, and what lessons commercial industry can learn from the military's pivot toward repair empowerment.Willian's Posts:Exposing the Myths and Truths of the Repair Industry!https://tinyurl.com/mr47r33pReadiness Through Repair: How the US Military is Strengthening Capabilities with Right to Repairhttps://tinyurl.com/4pytbvcsABI Electronicshttps://www.abielectronics.co.ukRepair Don't Waste Podcasthttps://tinyurl.com/du8skcxk

Rome didn't collapse overnight.It made a decision.In 211 AD, Emperor Septimius Severus gave his sons a final piece of advice:“Enrich the soldiers and despise all others.”That sentence rewired the Roman economy.Military pay exploded.

But it does rhyme.Subscribe to see the pattern before it repeats again.
