I think the title speaks for itself. Why is today's episode the shortest episode ever? Listen and find out!

In this episode, I post an update on the fundraiser I'm doing. I talk about change and why it's good, especially if you aren't happy in life. I even attempt to change up the same boring layout I've been doing for the past 20 episodes! I got to interview Jason, an Army Veteran, and talk about his transition experience. I thought his story was cool and his specific experience transitioning was unique. I think it really helped him hit the ground running as a civilian to accomplish what he's trying to do in life. I also covered a really cool hobby I think you guys will find cool.

In this episode, we look at our transitions in life and how we can learn from other's mistakes. I quote Otto von Bismarck and talk about how this affects the Tesla vs. Edison dispute. For the interview portion, I got to interview Cristie, one of the first Navy FMF females out there... If you don't know what an FMF corpsman is, they are the Devil Docs on the battlefield... The ONLY Sailors respected by Marines. I got to listen to Cristie tell her story and hear how about how she found her way to entrepreneurship! And last but not least, the hobby... What's next???

In this episode, we look at "the bigger picture". We look at a quote I heard and one that really got me thinking about the roles we play in our lives. I got to interview Steve, an Army Veteran, and owner of Wackadoo Brewing out in Colorado Springs. Steve is a great guy who has found his passion with Wackadoo. He's got an awesome story! I talk about another interesting hobby!

In episode 18, we look at conversational tactics... Not to be mistaken with Verbal Judo. We look at how to successfully employ these tactics so that everyone walks away happy with the end results. I also got to interview Dylan, an Army National Guardsman, as he talks about his experiences while in the military and how he was able to relate to his troops better after some of those experiences. He also talks about how he helps others going through hard times. And of course, let's see what weird and interesting hobby I talk about next!

In Episode 17, we look at what it takes to turn a dream into reality. I talk about what I believe it takes to make a project successful. I also go over my experience with ideas and projects and what I've learned in the 3 years I've been trying to be successful. In the interview portion I get to talk to Aaron Quinonez, a Marine Corp Veteran, about his story. Aaron is doing a LOT in the world right now and he really surprised me in the interview. Go check it out and check out his app: qactual.com.

In Episode 16 we look at success and what it means to be a successful Veteran. I even give my opinion, or my view on success (feel free to fast forward). I also got to Interview Grace, a Navy Veteran and someone I served with in Norfolk. She runs Down Range Equestrian and joined the military to understand her customers better. She was also able to start another business from a passion she had. I had fun catching up with her and learning about her businesses. She's doing great!

In this episode we look at Happiness Hormones and how they interact with the body. We talk about the importance of hormone balance in the body. I also get to interview Carrie Beavers, an Army Veteran, with Soldier Girl Coffee Company!

In this episode, we go over the relationship between insulin, diabetes and depression. Links: 1. What is Insulin? 2. What spikes it? 3. Relationship between diabetes and depression. I also got to interview Chris Kirwan with Irreverent Warriors. Irreverent Warriors is a great non-profit and it was awesome to learn about all the different hikes they have going on!

In Episode 13, we take a look at Cortisol, the stress hormone, and it's causes and effects. This is the first of a series on negative feelings and the hormones that cause them. I also get to interview Laforenzo, an Army Veteran, who started his own business: E3 Financial Solutions. We talk about some credit score rumors and he laid out some credit repair facts. I learned a lot from Laforenzo! If you are looking for credit repair help, E3 Financial Solutions is based out of Texas, but they do have products to serve people in other states as well.

In Episode 12, I go over the UN-happy hormones. There's a "shocking" revelation in there that you aren't going to want to miss! I also got to interview Chris with CP Roofing & Exteriors in Collin County, TX. If you are a resident in the area he provides service, this is a Veteran-Owned Business you can trust! Lastly, I "re-go over" (just made that up) Supply Chain Manager and talk about careers that can lead up to it.

In this interview, I talk about Happy Hormones, I get to interview a former Commanding Officer I served under and I go over another job opportunity. You guys might think I'm crazy, but just bear with me!

In this episode, I go over the different aspects of conversations and how to use conversational intelligence when dealing with other people. I also go over a potential career for veterans!

In this episode, I go over New Year Strategy and how to capitalize on the opportunities that may present themselves. I also go over how to repeat this success year after year. I reveal an investment opportunity that was recently revealed to me. I go over another career opportunity for Veterans that you can get ANYWHERE! Project VetCast launches its apparel tomorrow! Keep an eye out on the website for more information!

In Episode 8, I go over the importance of "Life Strategy" and I interview David Pere who started "From Military to Millionaire. David is a Marine Veteran who separated from the Marine Corps to continue his career in Real Estate Investment. I learned a TON of information just by interviewing him.

I've spoken a lot about issues that I've seen but not a lot about the positive impacts the military has on its service men and women. So I'm going to fix that in this episode.

In Episode 6, I go over the Role of the Veteran in the Military. I also go over a BOOMING career opportunity.
