    From Service to Purpose | Brice Porter on Leadership, Brotherhood & Life After the Military

    In this episode of Veterans Unmasked, host Remy sits down with retired U.S. Air Force veteran Brice Porter for a candid conversation about military service, leadership, mental health, brotherhood, and finding purpose after the uniform comes off. After more than 20 years in the United States Air Force, Brice has continued his mission of serving others through the Men's Textile Collective Foundation, an organization dedicated to helping veterans build community, connection, and healing through creativity and shared experiences. Together, Remy and Brice discuss the realities of military life, the challenges many veterans face during transition, the importance of maintaining strong support networks, and why service doesn't end when a military career does. This episode is a powerful reminder that purpose can be found in unexpected places—and that every veteran's story matters.

    Episode 002 | Taylor Mahaffey | The Silence After Service

    In this episode of Veterans Unmasked, host Remy sits down with U.S. Marine Combat Veteran Taylor Mahaffey for a candid conversation about military service, combat deployments, and the often-overlooked challenges that follow after returning home. Taylor reflects on enlisting after the events of September 11th, training at Camp Pendleton, and deploying to Iraq during a time when mortar and RPG attacks were a regular part of daily life. But this conversation goes beyond combat. Together, they discuss the loss of structure after leaving the military, the isolation many veterans experience, the stigma surrounding mental health, and the reality that struggles such as anxiety, depression, addiction, divorce, and suicide affect veterans from every background—not just those who served in combat roles. Throughout the discussion, Taylor shares the moment he realized he was not alone in what he was experiencing and why veteran-to-veteran connection can be a critical step toward healing. This episode also highlights organizations and resources helping veterans find support, purpose, and community, including Sunny Creek Ranch, FOB Razor, the Marine Corps League, VA programs, county veteran services, and Montgomery County Veterans Treatment Court.

    Don’t Ever Leave Me | Karen Pfeifer | Gold Star Wife | Part I

    In this deeply personal two-part conversation, Gold Star Wife Karen Pfeifer shares the story of her husband, PFC Christopher Pfeifer of the 1st Squadron, 91st Cavalry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team, and the life they were building together before war changed everything. From deployment and injury in Afghanistan to the final days spent at his side, Karen speaks openly about love, fear, grief, isolation, and the unimaginable reality of becoming a mother less than 24 hours after losing her husband.
