Fragout Podcast Ryan Lonergan

Great podcast with Jon Winker founder of Resilience Racing. Jon was on the podcast 4.5 years ago. His organization has seen some great growth. They take amputee veterans and put them in custom race cars, specifically Ford Mustangs. They have special hand controls and other technology. They have great partnership with Road America. We will be working on getting veterans to Road America this summer for “Hot Laps”. 20 min laps, doing 170mph. Veterans are the passenger and get an experience of a lifetime!

I called my friend Ben Killoy and completely surprised him. It was nice to catch up with Ben and hearing what he has going on in his life, including a new baby. Ben is a life coach for Fathers and teaches leadership. He is an excellent podcast host. Proud of him and his achievements. 

Called Dean owner of Tailgate Foodie, one of our sponsors. They make amazing Rubs and seasonings right here in Wisconsin. Dean is an Iraq Veteran. They've seen huge growth since we had Dean on the show. Wanted to follow up and chat with Dean. Please check out Tailgate Foodie.   

I called my friend Danny Z to check in on him and see how his business is doing and dove into his story. He was previously on the podcast but this was before he left Corporate America. He posted a picture on LinkedIn and it went viral. I am beyond proud of Danny and is hardwork. 

Tim La Sage is back!! After 4+ years and 200 episodes he came back on and was the most honest and vulnerable I’ve ever seen him. We went 3.5 hours. He now holds the record for longest podcast. Tim spent most of his life preparing for war and fighting in combat, but now he’s trying to find his peace. This podcast was beautiful, honest, vulnerable, pure, and fun. The conversation we had today is what we all should strive to have with everyone we love. I’m proud of Tim.

I called my friends Curt and Jeff on this 3rd installment of the SITREP.  Jeff and I talked about turkey hunting and how he is motivated to go out and try to get a Tom this year. I gave him some pointers on turkey hunting.  Curt and I have an event on Feb 29th in Madison, WI. So we talked about that and his various other events he has going on.
