    Zero Six Reveille: Franco Sapia on Discipline, Duty, and the Relentless Pursuit of Purpose

    In this compelling episode, we sit down with Franco Sapia—a distinguished former U.S. Marine veteran and retired federal agent from the Department of Homeland Security—whose life journey embodies discipline, integrity, and unwavering service to country and community. Raised in an environment where structure and accountability were cornerstones, Sapia learned early on that success is earned through dedication, hard work, and resilience. His formative years in the Marine Corps and his later role in federal law enforcement not only sharpened his leadership skills but also deepened his lifelong commitment to defending American values and freedoms. Franco shares how the same principles that guided him through combat zones and federal operations also laid the foundation for his latest mission: Zero Six Reveille, a purpose-driven apparel brand. Rooted in the belief that success is not a destination but a lifelong pursuit, Zero Six Reveille serves as a call to action—challenging others to rise early, work hard, and remain relentless in the face of adversity. It's more than clothing; it’s a lifestyle and a movement dedicated to those who forge their own path, regardless of the obstacles or doubters along the way. Listeners will hear Franco’s insights on grit, leadership, and the power of starting your day—and your life—with intention. His story is one of transformation and tenacity, meant to inspire others to tap into their inner warrior, embrace their purpose, and live with the kind of passion that refuses to quit. Whether you're a veteran, an entrepreneur, or simply someone looking for motivation to push through life’s challenges, this episode is a powerful reminder that your journey matters—and it’s never too early, or too late, to answer your own reveille.

    We are S.F.H with Ty Southern and Lance Price

    SFH isn’t just a brand—it’s a movement. It’s a battle cry. It’s a middle finger to the darkness and a bold declaration that we don’t just survive—we rise. Still F*****g Here is for every person who’s stared down the abyss and refused to give in. It’s for the ones who wake up every day carrying invisible scars but still show up. Still push forward. Still fight like hell. We’re not here to be polished or perfect—we’re here to be real. We’ve been broken. We’ve been knocked down. We’ve had moments we didn’t think we’d make it through. But guess what? We did. We are. And that makes us dangerous. That makes us powerful. We are Survivors. Warriors. Fighters. Relentless in purpose. Tenacious in spirit. Vigilant in our mission. We don’t just wear this brand—we embody it. This isn’t just gear—it’s armor. Every stitch, every word, every thread of SFH tells the world: "You can’t break me. I’m still f*****g here." And we’re not alone. We walk shoulder to shoulder with our tribe—lifting each other up, refusing to leave anyone behind. Because this isn’t just about survival. It’s about solidarity. About giving back. About taking the pain we've lived through and turning it into purpose. 50% of our net proceeds go directly to those still in the trenches. Every purchase helps provide support to survivors, mental health initiatives, crisis resources, and real people who are still fighting their way forward. So join us. Stand with us. Be one of us. Wear it like your story depends on it—because for someone else, it might. We’re not just here. We’re HERE—with purpose, with fire, and with each other. We are all... Still Fucking Here. CPL USMC (Ret.) / Co-founder Corporal Tyler Southern served with the United States Marine Corps, Weapons Company, 81s Platoon, 1st Battalion, 2nd Marines. On May 5, 2010, during his second deployment to Musa Qala in the Naw Zad District of Afghanistan, Tyler survived a catastrophic IED blast that cost him both legs above the knees, his right arm above the elbow, and severely damaged his left arm and hand. Despite these life-altering injuries, Tyler became the first American triple amputee to survive combat injuries in Afghanistan. After being airlifted from the battlefield, he endured a long recovery at Bethesda Naval Medical Center, spending nearly two weeks in a coma before beginning a challenging, but remarkable, journey of rehabilitation. USN Ret. (Doc) / Co-founder Lance Price served honorably in the United States Navy from 2000 to 2018, achieving the rank of Hospital Corpsman First Class (HM1 FMF). Throughout his career, he completed multiple deployments in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF), operating in Al Anbar Province, Central Baghdad, and North Diyala in Iraq, and the Nawa Districts of Helmand Province, Afghanistan. His distinguished service earned him numerous awards, including four Navy Achievement Medals, two Combat Action Ribbons, and campaign medals for the Global War on Terrorism. He held critical roles as a Senior Line Corpsman and Medical Advisor for special warfare units, and supported front-line Marines in some of the most challenging environments.

    Transcend 214: A Movement, Not a Motto

    Transcend 214, a transformative program developed by the Rod Lemon Foundation, envisions a world where no veteran walks alone. It is built upon a profound belief: that every man and woman who has worn the uniform in service to this nation deserves more than just gratitude—they deserve unwavering support, holistic care, and a genuine sense of belonging. At the heart of Transcend 214 is the commitment to redefine what veteran care looks like. This is a program that goes beyond symbolic gestures and ceremonial thank-yous. We strive to foster a community where each veteran’s physical well-being, emotional resilience, and social reintegration are prioritized and nurtured with compassion, dignity, and deep respect. We dream of a society that doesn’t just remember its heroes on certain days, but rather lives out that respect through everyday action—by ensuring accessible healthcare, creating pathways to employment and education, building meaningful peer support networks, and addressing the invisible wounds of war with understanding and purpose. In this future, our veterans are not marginalized or forgotten. Instead, they are empowered, valued, and uplifted—recognized not only for what they’ve endured but for who they are and all they have yet to offer. Through Transcend 214, the Rod Lemon Foundation is working to bridge the gap between service and civilian life, creating safe spaces and supportive systems that allow veterans to heal, thrive, and lead. It is our pledge that no veteran be left behind, that every one of them finds solace in their community, stability in their journey, and hope in the days to come. This is not just our mission—it’s our movement. And with the strength of our partners, advocates, and supporters, we will continue to build a brighter tomorrow, one veteran at a time.

    Tip of the Spear, A Veterans Roundtable 06.22.25

    The Birth of a Movement: The Origin and Evolution of Tip of The Spear “Tip of The Spear” was born out of necessity—a response to the urgent call for a dedicated platform where veterans could gather, speak candidly, and confront the issues that affect them directly. More than just a podcast, it has become a rallying point for those who have worn the uniform and now seek to serve in a different way—through dialogue, advocacy, and unity. What began just 18 months ago as a humble roundtable conversation has transformed into a powerful and dynamic forum. One that elevates veteran voices, confronts community concerns head-on, and isn’t afraid to tackle global issues that ripple through both military and civilian life. The Genesis of Tip of The Spear The roots of Tip of The Spear trace back to a collaboration between four pioneering podcasts—each with its own unique voice and mission, yet united by a common goal: to uplift and empower the veteran community. HomeFront Sitrep – A show dedicated to highlighting veteran service organizations and the stories behind them, providing critical information and support to veterans across the country. The Triple Threat Vet Podcast – A raw, unfiltered space where veterans speak their truth, share their experiences, and tackle tough conversations with honesty and grit. The MisFitNation – A podcast that breaks barriers and brings together a wide range of perspectives from veterans, first responders, and civilians alike, pushing for understanding and mutual respect. I Am Pitts – A deeply personal and powerful show that shines a spotlight on one man’s journey from service to storytelling, offering reflections on resilience, service, and identity. Together, these founding voices laid the foundation for what would become Tip of The Spear. Their early discussions were more than just talk—they were blueprints for action. Veterans spoke openly about mental health, transition struggles, systemic issues, and the challenges of reintegration into civilian life. As word spread and impact grew, more podcasts and veteran voices joined the roundtable, expanding the conversation and deepening the bench of experience. A Platform with Purpose Tip of The Spear is now more than a roundtable—it's a movement. It’s a growing community of storytellers, change-makers, advocates, and allies who believe that veteran voices matter and that those who have served should lead the way in conversations about leadership, accountability, and global citizenship. Each episode serves as a sounding board and a beacon—shining a light on what matters most to the military community and offering insight and inspiration to those still navigating life after service. Whether it’s tackling the latest policy debates, elevating untold stories, or forging new paths for post-service purpose, Tip of The Spear remains firmly planted at the frontline of advocacy, awareness, and authentic veteran storytelling.

    The Road Home: A Clear Path for Veterans

    Clear Path for Veterans has stood as a pillar of unwavering support for those who’ve served since 2011. This mission-driven organization was built on the vision and dedication of U.S. Air Force veteran Dr. Steve Kinne, alongside the compassion and leadership of sisters Melissa Spicer and Melinda Sorrentino. Together, they saw a gap in veteran care—and they stepped in to close it. At Clear Path, we understand that no two veteran stories are the same. Some carry visible scars, others bear silent battles. Whether it’s the transition to civilian life, coping with trauma, navigating relationships, or rediscovering purpose, we know the road can be complicated. That’s why we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. We’re not here to prescribe—we’re here to partner. We walk alongside veterans, meeting them where they are, with services and support as unique as their journey. From wellness programs and peer support to canine companionship, career guidance, and community connections, every initiative is designed to empower veterans to thrive—not just survive. Our mission is clear: to enhance lives, face challenges head-on, and create spaces where healing, growth, and belonging are not only possible but expected. At Clear Path, you’re not just another number—you’re part of a community that sees you, hears you, and stands with you. Because at Clear Path, your next chapter matters—and we’re honored to help you write it.
