After a four month hiatus, I'm back and here to remind you that slowing down is productive, and pausing doesn't mean you're failing, especially if you're a high functioning person. In this episode I wanted to share some updates about the healing process of coming out of dissociation/DPDR, the turmoil that can come when needing to prioritize your mental health while starting a new business venture, as well as some of the highlights that have happened in my life over the last few months. I experienced being an event planning associate for the Military Influencer Conference, joined the Spouse-ly team as a Growth Marketing Strategist, and officially decided to become a performance coach for high functioning entrepreneurial minded people. I share about letting go of the outcome, allowing things to simply be, accepting that part of the human experience is allowing in all emotions, and remembering to love ourselves where we're at right now. Another key portion of this episode is me sharing about the difficulties of being high functioning, despite looking to the outside world like we have it all together, and how detrimental it is for our health to take care of that before our bodies force us to pause.

LCol (ret'd) Stuart Scheller blew up the internet last year when he decided to publicly criticize his Marine Corps chain of command in a Facebook video; while in uniform! As you can imagine, the internet exploded. Stuart has been called every name in the book, lost his family, lost his career, and been thrown in the brig but has always stuck to his message that there needs to be accountability for military failures at the highest level. He's a principled guy and has written a great book called, "Crisis of Command". We met up in Las Vegas to chat about it at the Military Influencer Conference and shoot the shit about his time fighting terrorists and what his next moves are professionally.

Mark Harper is the former Optimus Prime Myspace page manager and the current CEO of We are the Mighty. Mark's early interest in film led him to pursuing a dual degree which landed him in the Combat Camera division of the US Air Force. Mark and his unit were in Iraq to film the 'purple fingers' which played a role in how he pitched himself to Hollywood. We discuss how media and content have evolved in the last two years and how that has influenced the type of content current and former service members are interested in. Lastly, we hear the founding story around We are the Mighty with cofounder David Gale of MTV. Mark cover's the business models the business has gone through, how he thinks about reaching millions of readers and watchers today, and how acquiring the Military Influencer Conference has set the stage for future growth.

Welcome back, listeners! It's Season 4 of Owning Up! First, we are grateful for YOU, our listeners, partners, and sponsors. Now, let's jump right in! This season, Moni wanted to bring on guests who are influencers in our community. They are dreamers, makers, doers, believers, bold and bravely creating the career of their dreams. This podcast is here to support military spouse business owners. Sara Copp is not only an AMSE Coach but an Army Veteran. She currently owns her own business, Think Social, HQ. But there is so much more to Sara! She is also an E-commerce Expert, Digital Marketer, Community Growth Specialist, Etsy Coach, Machine Embroider, Group Fitness Instructor, Military Spouse Wife, and Mom of two. But her “ah-ha” moment was when she attended a Military Influencer Conference. She felt like she had found her people in the military spouse entrepreneur community. When Sara got out of the military, her oldest child was one year old. Sara knew she needed to find something else to step into that filled the desire within her to connect with others. While still on active duty she had started her side hustle. Finding a way to replace the money she was making in the military was her goal. She had always worked, even as a kid. Sara knew she could meet her goal, but she wasn't sure exactly how yet. She loves writing SOP and social media strategies. She realized outsourcing was going to be necessary to her business growth. She hired a coach to pay for their knowledge to reach her goal faster. She suggests that you hire the right person to show you the way. One of her company's things is creating the backend of business structuring. For more information about Sara and her company, visit her website or find them on Instagram and Facebook. If you're new to Owning Up, make sure and subscribe, so you'll know when a new episode drops.

What's up Everybody, welcome to another edition of the transition, a show aimed at demystifying the entrepreneur experience for those of you looking to make the transition from the military into entrepreneurship. I'm your host Mike Steadman a Marine Corps Veteran, Social Entrepreneur, and member of the Bunker Labs Team. In this episode, I interview Curtez Riggs, An Army Veteran and Founder of the Military Influencer Conference, the largest gathering of Entrepreneurs, Leaders, and Creatives in the military space. The event connects entrepreneurs, business executives, and brands with the influencers who shape and support the military community. Curtez takes us back to his days in Flint, Michigan, where he was born and raised. Curtez shares an enlightening story from his days as a teenager launching a recycling business, to his path into the army, and his moonlighting days as a "Third Shift Entrepreneur," launching multiple side hustles, while balancing his full-time army, navigating a divorce, and overcoming financial hardships. Despite all the challenges, Curtez managed to preserve through it all, eventually launching the Military Influencer Conference, into the premier networking event for the military community. You don't want to miss this episode. Curtez is a dynamic speaker, and provides tons of knowledge and insight for those of you in the entrepreneurial hustle. I really hope you enjoy the show, and that it accelerates you on your own journey.
Welcome back to another episode of Finding Freedom! I'm your host, Lee Mosler and today I'm thrilled to bring you a two-part episode with a comedian turned internet millionaire, Tom Antion from the Screw the Commute Podcast.I've long believed that it's not freedom if you're spending 80% of your life on a job and I know Tom feels the same way. Tom has never had a traditional job but has used his ability as a comedian, and knowledge of people, to make millions of dollars online for the past 23 years.I was first introduced to Tom while in Washington D.C. at the Military Influencer Conference. And instead of coming off full of himself, Tom was one of the most laid back people there. He was simply there to help those looking for guidance. While he could have been there pushing his products and services like most others were, he was there to serve Veterans as best he could. Tom and I have kept in touch since then and when I started putting together this podcast, he was more than happy to lend his expertise to an industry he's been in while most of us were too young to even give a crap.Tom and I talk about how to share your knowledge to get started while keeping your startup costs low. We also talk about the number one skill when starting out and the fanaticism you need if you want to be great. And, it doesn't stop there. We continue to have a conversation about ways to make your hobbies tax deductible and even how a physical business can help create income while not actively working.So sit back and have a listen, laugh with us, and take some notes as Tom freely gives his knowledge.Here's my talk with Tom from the Screw the Commute podcast.

Today on Rise of The Young I sit down with the owner of Red Line Steel, Colin Wayne. Colin has went from Soldier to Fitness Model to Running a $40 Million Business, and his journey is just getting started. We both spoke at the "Military Influencer Conference" in Washington DC, and inside of this interview Colin speaks on the importance of his military journey as an entrepreneur. The military is one of the top contributing factors to Colin's success. "Fear of failure" is something that shouldn't be in your vocabulary in the military, or entrepreneurship. You need to take calculated risks and not be afraid of setbacks. And in both cases, you need the mindset that I will do whatever it takes to accomplish the mission.

A couple months ago I attended the Military Influencer Conference. There were a lot of great creators and entrepreneurs there, but one group of people stood out to me. I met a few people representing a product called Everence. Everence is a patented technology that allows you to add DNA from a loved one into any new or existing tattoo. I know tattoos are a common thing in the military and Veteran community, and I had my own curiosity, led me to inviting a member of their team onto Borne the Battle to talk about it. Boyd Renner, one of the co-founders of Everence, served in the Navy for 28 years. He served at SEAL Team Two for four years and served over 23 years at Naval Special Warfare Development Group. He's going to talk to us about his time as a Navy SEAL, his transition out of the military, and the unique product Everence.
