PTSD Service Dogs, Trauma Resilience, and Community Support in Southern IllinoisJennifer Olson and Russell Williams host Small Town Big Business from downtown Marion, Illinois, and welcome Malia (pronounced “Maria”) Nicks to discuss ThisABLE Veteran, a local nonprofit celebrating 15 years. Founded by Behesha Doan, a former police canine handler with over 40 years of experience, the organization trains and places PTSD service dogs nationwide at no cost to veterans. Dogs are purchased as puppies with at least five generations of service-dog lineage and trained for 18–24 months, then matched to veterans through a national application and interview process with an emphasis on the wellbeing of both the veteran and the dog.Nix explains the nonprofit's Trauma Resilience Program: accepted veterans complete 10 weeks of weekly Zoom meetings with grounding and breathing techniques before arriving in Marion for a 21-day in-person stay on the organization's acreage outside town. The program focuses on skill-building rather than retelling trauma, and the team coordinates with veterans' clinicians. Service dogs are trained for anxiety alerts (e.g., responding to knee bouncing or jaw clenching) and nightmare interruption, with veterans taught movement and paced breathing to prevent escalation into flashbacks, rage, or other destructive outcomes.Behesha also operates Extreme Canine (public boarding and training) and created training academies to expand PTSD service-dog training nationally, including a basic academy and an annual masterclass requiring two years of experience. The episode covers how to distinguish legitimate service dogs from emotional support animals, including ADA access differences and the service dog's focus and responsiveness to its handler.Nix shares her “chapter two” journey from business development roles in architecture, finance, and school partnerships in Dallas to studying social work, experiences with family caregiving through the VA system, and suicide awareness work after her 17-year-old nephew died by suicide. She joined This Able Veteran after being asked to support suicide-related needs for the DoD-funded program, observed life changes in veterans during 2023 sessions, and later became executive director, relocating from Texas to Southern Illinois.The hosts discuss what Nix appreciates about Southern Illinois, including community events like the Heroes United Concert, outdoor access, local amenities, and kindness from residents. The conversation ends with ways the community can support This ABLE Veteran now that Department of Defense funding was not allocated for the current year: donations, fundraisers, supplies via a Chewy wishlist, airline and hotel points to offset travel and housing, meal support for veterans during 21-day stays and four-day refreshers, and volunteering. The website is thisableveteran.org; the application portal reopens March 1. The organization is active on Facebook and Instagram, plans for TikTok, is on LinkedIn, and offers a quarterly electronic newsletter plus limited mailed updates. Sponsors and Ethos/City of Marion contact information are also shared.Recorded at EThOs Small Business Incubator and Co-working Spaces in Marion, Illinois.https://members.ethosmarion.org/ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCASTOur guest: https://thisableveteran.org/00:00 Welcome and Sponsors00:49 Meet Malia Nicks01:30 Mission and Service Dogs04:01 Trauma Resilience Program06:20 Bahaa Origins and Canine Expertise10:40 Grant Growth and Malia Journey17:28 Serving Veterans Nationwide18:18 Why Southern Illinois Feels Like Home21:39 Service Dog Legitimacy and Laws24:12 Spotting Real Service Dogs25:55 Handler Rights and Privacy26:43 Anxiety Alerts in Action29:19 Nightmare Interruption Tasks29:56 Best Breeds and Temperament31:29 Trainer Academies Nationwide32:46 Inside the Training Facility35:11 How the Community Can Help39:26 Support PTSD Without Judgment41:41 Stay Connected and Final Thanks

Is there actual tension brewing between Bo Nix and Sean Payton, or is it just a miscommunication blown up into a storyline? The guys react to the “verbal spat” vibes, Payton joking about Nix's medical history, and why that kind of honesty might play with fans but can rub a quarterback the wrong way. Then the conversation turns into pure Jets desperation logic. If there's even a whiff of a QB being unhappy somewhere, Jets fans start drawing up trades on a napkin. Would you take a swing on Bo Nix if the price was somehow reasonable, or is Tiki right that it's pointless without the coach and infrastructure that made him succeed in the first place?

What's the latest news with Vance Joseph possibly leaving to becoming a head coach and why did Joe Lombardi get fired? 

Denver Broncos have fired offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi and he had some interesting thoughts on his sudden departure.

Bo Nix spoke to the media yesterday and contradicted Sean Payton, who said the surgeon found there was something predisposed within the ankle and that the injury and procedure was a matter of when, not if. Nix didn't have to address the media yesterday, but it seemed like he wanted to do it to clear up what Payton said about his ankle. Greg Penner also spoke to the media yesterday and said the Broncos will be “aggressively opportunistic” this offseason in addressing player needs, but it's important that the player fit the locker room culture. As Sean Payton looks for a new offensive coordinator, he will limit his options if he hires someone who won't be able to call plays. If Payton does give up play calling duties, will it make him a better overall head coach? Check out another episode of Hot Takes with Eric Goodman and Troy Renck!

The conversation turns fast when the news drops: Bo Nix broke his ankle, had surgery, and is officially out for the season. The guys rewatch the play trying to figure out how it even happened, point out the subtle tells on the very next snap, and talk through how stunning the timing is with Denver heading into the biggest game of the year. Then it takes a hilarious detour into Sean Payton's postgame comments, when he tries to console Nix with a “second-year QB history” claim that instantly sets off Evan's internal fact-check alarm. From there, the segment spirals into the real-world problem: can Denver actually bring in anyone off the street, or is it Jarrett Stidham by default? They run through the names people always throw out, why most of them are unrealistic or unavailable, and what it would actually take for the Broncos to survive against the Patriots with their season flipped upside down overnight.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Monday January 19th. The NFL divisional weekend delivered dramatic finishes, decisive turnovers, and major implications for the championship round, as discussed by Munaf Manji and Dave Essler while breaking down every game through a betting focused lens. Denver opened the weekend with a 33 to 30 overtime win over Buffalo, a game defined by mistakes and attrition. The Bills turned the ball over five times, including four giveaways credited to Josh Allen, continuing a postseason pattern that has now seen him lose every overtime playoff appearance. Denver capitalized with a plus four turnover margin, but the victory came at a steep cost when quarterback Bo Nix suffered a broken foot or ankle on the second to last play of overtime. Sean Payton confirmed Nix will undergo surgery and miss the remainder of the season, forcing Jared Stidham into the AFC Championship Game. Buffalo responded swiftly by firing head coach Sean McDermott, ending an era marked by consistent playoff appearances but repeated postseason disappointment. Saturday night was a rout in Seattle, where the Seahawks overwhelmed an injury ravaged San Francisco team 41 to 6. A kickoff return touchdown set the tone, and Seattle never looked back, forcing three turnovers while committing none. Kenneth Walker led the way with 116 rushing yards and three total touchdowns, while the Seahawks defense held the 49ers under four yards per play, one of the lowest outputs of Kyle Shanahan's tenure. Sunday began with New England eliminating Houston 28 to 16 in a game where turnovers again told the story. C.J. Stroud struggled under pressure, and the Patriots converted short fields into touchdowns while Houston settled repeatedly for field goals. Injuries compounded the Texans' issues, leaving Stroud without key targets as the Patriots advanced behind a disciplined defensive game plan. The weekend closed with the Rams edging Chicago 20 to 17 in overtime, another contest decided by mistake free football. Los Angeles avoided turnovers entirely, while Caleb Williams threw an interception after winning the overtime coin toss, echoing Buffalo's earlier collapse. Sean McVay's situational decisions and clean execution pushed the Rams into the NFC Championship, setting up a third divisional matchup with Seattle. From a betting perspective, Essler highlighted what he views as market overreactions, particularly in the Patriots opening as significant favorites in Denver despite the quarterback change, and Seattle being potentially overvalued after dismantling a depleted opponent. Across all four games, the theme remained consistent, teams that protected the football advanced, while those that did not were left planning for next season. Learn more about your ad choices.
