A Veterans mission to help share stories of those who have gone through traumas/tragedies, but how they've been able to overcome them because somebody needs to hear it. Is that somebody you? Why? Losing people, especially our own kids to suicide is absolutely gut wrenching. Losing 22 Veterans a day is bullsh*t and I was almost one of them! I will continue to stop at nothing until we get that number down to ZERO!!

    EP: 80 Colton Kyle (Son of Taya and Chris Kyle)

    Every once in a while we have a guest come on the show that will literally knock our socks off. That's exactly what happened during my interview with Colton Kyle, son of Taya and Chris Kyle. Join us as we sit down and discuss everything from his childhood, when he and his sister found out his father was murdered, to young love and his role as the CEO of American Sniper®.  Many times throughout our interview, we both got goosebumps and on a personal note...I felt like Colton took me to church. This young man is so wise beyond his years and has such a heart of gold.  We hope you enjoy this special episode because I know we did.  Connect with Colton: https://www.instagram.com/coltonkyleofficial/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/americansniper.brand/?hl=en https://www.facebook.com/americansniperbrand https://www.tackf.org/ https://lifecampusa.org/ Music: "Miracle" by ONLAP (Spotify, Apple Music)   Support the show Find us on all major streaming platforms or connect with us if you're ready to share your story.

    EP: 79 Eric Rush, U.S. Army Veteran and Founder (Prime Pitch Podcast Network Inc.)

    From Combat, to Prison, to Purpose... "This work didn’t begin as a business, it began as a lifeline. After returning from combat, navigating trauma, incarceration, and the long road back to identity, I discovered something powerful: storytelling is more than communication. It’s connection. It’s healing. It’s how we find our way back to ourselves, and to each other."-Eric Rush We start with a quote that Eric posted on his website because it encompasses a lot of what our mission is about. We love sitting with people who are ready to share their stories of trauma/tragedies but how they've been able to overcome it or push through it because somebody needs to hear it.  Our next guest is Eric Rush, founder of the Prime Pitch Podcast network, host of The Rush Outrospective Podcast, Unfinished Business Podcast and U.S. Army Combat Veteran. Join us as we sit with Eric to discuss his childhood, his time in service, his time in prison and the choices he made that ultimately shaped him into the man he is today! Thank you Eric for joining us in the amazing interview!!

    Hang on to your seats as we sit down with Stephanie Hellstern who is not only the founder of Kyle Still Speaks, but mother to her late son Kyle Sexton. Stephanie lost Kyle summer of 2020 to Fentanyl Overdose. She later discovered that he was the victim of a Drug-Induced Homicide which prompted her to do whatever it takes to make people aware of this horrible drug. Stephanie is very active and works alongside numerous organizations fighting against Fentanyl, bringing awareness to the community and making moves to get new laws passed on a national level. This mom has made it not only her mission, but a purpose to help keep Kyles voice alive.  We are excited for you all to hear her story about heartache, to redemption and how she's been able to turn all of it into a purpose bigger than herself.

    EP: 76 (1 of 2) Drew Gamble "I put my wife and kids in a box..."

    Drew is no stranger to the show as a guest and advocate routing for mental health. What he wasn't prepared for was how he would struggle post deployments and how difficult it is for someone in his profession to actually ask for help. We've always asked ourselves why we're not recording our phone conversations because they're just that good. Well, this interview is one we intentionally wanted to have to showcase the kind of things we discuss about family, life and the struggles to actually ask for help. As an Active Duty member of our Armed Forces, he isn't holding anything back. So we hope you join us in this 2 part episode where we just reflect on everything just like 2 friends do. We hope that you hear the passion in our conversation about the struggle BUT the ways to get help. It's not the end of the road, it's just a road block we've got to learn to manage.  Music: "Miracle" by ONLAP (Spotify, Apple Music) Support the show Find us on all major streaming platforms or connect with us if you're ready to share your story.

    EP: 74 John Larocchia, FDNY (Ret.) | Laughter Saves Lives (Founder) | Comedian

    September 11, 2001 is a day many of us will never forget. Some of you weren't even born which is a hard pill to swallow for some of us who don't believe aging is a thing. Today on the 24th Anniversary of that fateful day, we are releasing a very special episode in honor of our guest, Retired FDNY Fire Fighter John Larocchia and his 19 fallen colleagues from firehouse Maspeth Queens Haz-Mat Company 1, along with Squad 288! As fate would have it, John took that day off to care for his then 1 year old daughter. All of his brothers on duty that day responded to the call and never made it back home. Gut wrenching to say the least! John is now the founder of Laughter Saves Lives Foundation where their mission is to provide assistance to First Responders trying to overcome financial hardship due to an unforeseen tragedy or illness. John has found healing through comedy and has used his gift of being a comedian to not only bring a smile to his audence, but to honor those he lost!! This episode was truly something special. Thank you John for sharing the memories of your brothers and doing everything you can so that others never forget who these men were.

    EP: 73 Kennedy Littledike Bingham, Survivor and Motivational Speaker

    Hang onto your seats as we sit down with one incredible woman who survived what most wouldn't. We are excited to bring you our in person interview with the legend herself, Kennedy Littledike Bingham. If you google search "Power Line Girl", a picture of her will pop up immediately. Back in 2021, Kennedy was involved in a horrific car accident that left her dangling 30 feet up in an active power line by her left leg. Thankfully after being stuck on the power line for over an hour, Kennedy ended up surviving and is now thriving in so many beautiful ways. The accident resulted in an above-knee amputation and a brachial plexus injury.  I am personally honored to not just know Kennedy, but can call her a very close friend. The fight this girl has inside her is something fierce. I am forever grateful that she not only survived her accident, but also grateful to have her in my life. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did. Also a very special thank you to the Adaptive Training Foundation for letting us jump in their back office to record this special episode. We love them and you Kennedy!!
