Along with drummer WILLIE WILD, (who would later be part of the original lineup of Graham Central Station), Rustee was chosen to back up LITTLE SISTER, an offshoot of Sly's Fam featuring Vet Stone and piloted by Freddie Stone. Next thing Rustee knew, he was “auditioning” to join the Fam as a full-fledged member—in front of 30,000 people in Virginia! Soon after that, Rustee was in the studio for the Fresh sessions, laying down tunes in basically one take each. “The first takes are the best ones anyway,” says Rustee. As for Levi, he spent his youth gigging at spots like Earl's Solano Club in the East Bay, playing jazz with ladies such as Rosie Gaines and Sheila Escovedo. “Playing was like taking a glass of water,” says Levi. “Just natural.” His confidence and skill got him noticed by Don Cornelius of Soul Train fame, who put him to work. Then one day Levi stopped by an audition that Escovedo — now known as Sheila E — was holding for bass players. Though Levi was a guitar man, she asked him to take the gig once she had heard him play “A Love Bizarre” on the four-string. This of course put him in the same orbit as PRINCE himself— who would eventually bring him into the fold not only as a player, but also as writer and producer. Like Rustee, Levi had found himself thrust into the spotlight, breathing the rarefied air of an internationally acclaimed artist with a new band. Rustee's return to Aced Out is a pivotal moment for us, as he was our very first guest for our pilot episode just a little over four years ago. In this inspirational interview, Rustee and Levi describe what made Sly and Prince amazing bandleaders, and what it was really like within those soul circles. As well, Rustee describes why his mother told him he was her most adventurous child, and what it was like onstage and off during Sly's Lifetime Achievement Award performance at the 2006 Grammys, while Levi breaks down how Prince was like a “cool computer” and why every musician in Minneapolis hated the New Power Generation—at first, that is. If all that weren't enough, the purple brothas also bring a band in the studio to perform Rustee's single “You're the One!” Produced & Hosted by Ace AlanCohosted by Jay StoneExecutive Producer Scott SheppardWebsite and Graphics by 3chards Engineered by Grace Coleman at Different Fur Studios, San Francisco CA Video & Sound Editing + Interview Mix & Graphics by Nick “Waes” Carden for Off Hand Records, Oakland CA Video Production by Saboor BidarMusical Performance:TONY PROVIDENCE — drumsCARL WHEELER — keysMORGAN DAY – guitarCARL NORDE — vocalsLEVI SEACER JR. — guitar, vocalsRUSTEE ALLEN — bass, vocals Musical Performance Mix by Levi Seacer Jr.Rap verses by Corey the Greatan Issac Bradbury Production © 2022visit acedoutpodcast.com to see photos and more

What are some vital actions that a transitioning service member or veteran can take when transitioning into the civilian workforce? (Hint: Networking is key!) Eric “Doc” Wright, Founder of Vets2PM, LLC and Vet Stone, LLC, talks with Fred Coon, SC&C CEO, about tactics that service members can use to help prepare them for their post-military [...]

After leaving the military Eric “Doc” Wright wandered around in the job desert for 12 years. He chased degrees, certifications, and titles, amassing handfuls of each, piles of student debt, but always hearing he had the wrong ones, or not enough experience, to do what he wanted; to do what he knew he was capable of from reviewing the job descriptions! Then he figured it out! He wasn't framing what he had done and what he was capable of doing in the new context of what he could do for a civilian employer he entered the world of project management. Eric quickly realized that his new career provided much more than a paycheck.  It provided what he had really been missing to his very core; a sense of purpose and identity. In 2014 Eric co-founded Vets2PM, a company that helps Military Veterans become civilian Project Managers. In 2017 Eric founded Vet Stone (an intentional play on the Roseta Stone).  Vet Stone provides Veterans with a modern, relevant, technology-based tool to capture and convey the immense value of their obscure, informal secondary military occupation experience. This is an honest an open discussion about the challenges Veterans face in transitioning to the civilian workforce and also a fascinating glimpse into a tech startup that is still in its inception.

If her life were a mathematical formula, it would be Family + Church = MUSIC. Indeed, Vet Stone (Vaetta Stewart-Reese) began making sweet soul sounds when she was a five-year-old girl standing on a table, singing with her parents and siblings—including big brother Sly. At church, she met lifelong friend and collaborator Tiny Mouton, with whom she performed on such hits as “You’re the One” with Little Sister and “Stand!” with Sly & the Family Stone, as well as classic albums like Fresh, Small Talk, and High on You.Ms. Stone honored us with a visit, talking about recording a gospel album as a teenager with the Heavenly Tones, living and sleeping in the studio while working on Sly’s creations, and her memoir, Blood Is Thicker Than the Mud.She also spoke about how Sly’s lyrics were often based on their mother’s own words of wisdom, why her brother Freddie is one of her favorite singers, and how good it feels to sing with her latest group Stone alongside her sister Rose, niece Lisa, and Tiny.Through it all, Vet has always stayed true to herself. Her interview is a treasure to behold.

As a decorated two-Service, two-Era United States Military Veteran, Eric shares his in-depth understanding of how to translate military experience to project management for developing resumes, preparing for PMP certification and landing a PM job in the CIVDIV.

Joe and Eric also share with us the Veterans Project Management Mentoring Program they kicked off in January serving over 50 Veterans across 29 states and 3 countries.

This is the 40th anniversary for the Chapter and the year has been highlighted by a great series of speakers and educational opportunities including James Snyder, Harold Kerzner, Dr James Brown, and most recently Steven Fullmer.
