Making the Most of VA Home Loan Guarantee

Serving in the military comes with some perks. The VA home loan guarantee is one of the more popular benefits. It helps service members and veterans with home ownership. While it’s generally talked about, sometimes the exact details aren’t and can lead to not getting the most out of your benefit. In this episode, Dr. Paul Lawrence discusses VA home loans in detail. He shares how the benefit works, who is eligible, how it can be used, and common misconceptions about it. He also talks about lesser-known VA loan benefits like Specially Adapted Housing grants. https://milmo.co/podcast/VA-home-loan-guarantee

From Boxing to Business: Using Data to Drive Change

Members of the military are involved in problem-solving. It’s at the heart of a successful mission. Many don’t realize that it is also at the heart of STEM, or science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. It’s all about data and problem-solving. In this episode, Navy veteran Anne Gibbon discusses how she is building a business to help others use data to its fullest potential to make better decisions. We also talk about her experience as the first woman to box for the Naval Academy and building a think tank for Seal Team 6. https://milmo.co/podcast/data-to-drive-change

Getting Taken by a Trademark Scam

It’s no secret that I’ve had some trademark issues. When you build a business, you’re bound to be touched by trademarks in some way. You could file for your own trademark, or someone could be infringing on yours or you could be trying to be preventative. There are a lot of areas. One that is particularly unnerving is getting a notice from an attorney or, even worse, the United States Trademark and Patent Office that you’re infringing on someone else’s trademark or that your trademark is in jeopardy. Everyone can guess the reaction letters like that would cause. Pure panic to anyone who receives it. Do you know who knows that best? Scammers. I know this because I just almost got trademark scammed. In this episode, I’m sharing what trademark scam I was targeted with, what I did, the most common types of trademark scams, and how to keep yourself protected.

Preparing Transitioning Service Member for Predatory Financial Sales Practices

Service members and their families are a protected group when it comes to their finances. The Department of Defense intentionally protects the military community from predatory financial sales practices while they are serving. Those protections are no longer there when you separate or retire, making transitioning service members top targets of predatory sales practices. In this episode, Drew Stamp discusses what service members and their families are up against when they’re leaving the military and how to educate themselves and combat bad actors in the financial and veteran space. We also discuss whether all the benefits the community receives could negatively affect them. We talk about: Transitioning from Military Service Purpose, Identity, and Community Predatory Financial Practices Financial Literacy Gaps Misleading Sales Practices The Importance of Gratitude and Self-Sufficiency Positive Traits of Financial Professionals Financial Planning for Transition Show notes: https://milmo.co/podcast/predatory-financial-sales-practices

The Tax Reality Every Veteran Needs to Know

Separating or retiring comes with changes in many areas of your life and money. One of those often overlooked big changes is your taxes. What you did or didn’t pay in taxes looks a lot different after military service.
