    SE7 #240 Tom Farley

    We caught up on all his travels for work and talked about his ongoing recovery journey. The conversation went in all directions—from sandhill crane hunts to hog hunting and everything in between. Got an update on the biopic about his brother Chris.  After recording, we grabbed lunch at The Mad Apple Burger & Billiard and shot a few games of pool… which confirmed that neither of us will be joining a pro league anytime soon. Thanks for the great day, brother!

    SE7 #239 Dan NewBerry- Part 3- Redemption

    Part 3 - Dan is an Iraq War veteran, Purple Heart recipient, and one of the most selfless people I've ever met. After serving his country, he dedicated his life to helping veterans — opening two gyms, creating jobs, and giving others a place to belong. But in the process, he lost everything: his house, his car, his relationship, and his sense of self. Dan hit rock bottom and spent 30 days at the Milwaukee VA Domiciliary. That time changed everything. Today, he's rebuilding his life — working as a personal security guard, back in the gym, and rediscovering who he is beyond the uniform. His story is raw, emotional, and full of redemption.

    SE6 #238 Matt Burkhead- Marine Corps- Iraq Veteran- VA Home Loan

    Dropped some knowledge bombs with my friend Matt Burkhead — Marine Veteran, Iraq War Tanker (twice), and Loan Officer with MortgageNerds.com. We dug into his humble beginnings, including the time he lived in Japan during 7th and 8th grade, and then got into the VA Home Loan — busting myths, misconceptions, and highlighting why it's the best benefit for veterans to build long-term wealth. Matt's passion for educating veterans and service members is second to none, and this conversation was both fun and insightful.

    SE6 #235 Horicon Marsh Veterans Hunt Guides

    I sat down with some of my favorite duck hunters and guides from the Horicon Marsh Veterans Hunt — Mike Vandervest, Michael Koerber, and Dan Riese. We went two hours non-stop talking duck and waterfowl hunting, swapping stories, roasting each other, and sipping whiskey in honor of The Duck Commander himself, Phil Robertson. These three guys helped me fall in love with duck hunting — grateful for the laughs, the lessons, and the good times.

    SE6 #234 Josh Schoemann For Governor of Wisconsin

    Great podcast with Josh Schoemann for Governor Josh was previously on the podcast. He is an Iraq war veteran was apart of the invasion and is Washington County Executive. Josh is campaigning for Governor of Wisconsin. We have so much love and appreciation for this state. We love small diners for breakfast, hunting, and our veterans. I don't do much about politics but this was more about getting to know him as a potential governor. Lots of fun and laughs
