This week on A More Elite Podcast, we hear a story of overcoming obstacles with our guest Karl Monger. Karl is an Army Ranger veteran, a local elected official, and the Executive Director of GallantFew veteran support nonprofit. Karl is the consummate lemonade maker. He was raised by a single mother for part of his childhood but found community at the local Boys and Girls Club. He was on orders to the 1st Ranger Battalion but just missed arriving before the battalion participated in Operation Just Cause. Later, Karl was informed that he had earned a rifle company command at the 1st Ranger Battalion, only to get passed over for that coveted leadership position after the tragic events at Antelope Lake, Utah, on Oct. 29, 1992. All the challenges and hardships led Karl to where he is today, leading GallantFew into its 12th year as a premier one-on-one veteran support and transition program.

Just when you thought you heard it all, Army Ranger veteran Timothy Spalla joins us on A More Elite Podcast this Thursday at 12 pm ET.
After separating from service, Tim continued in the military intelligence field as a contractor. Working in Africa, Tim decided he wanted to turn from hunting terrorist groups to hunting exotic animal poachers. After years in the bush, he decided to seek treatment for prior trauma experienced on active duty.
Realizing that he could not be the only veteran dealing with trauma years after service, Tim made a huge career pivot and enrolled in Regis University with the goal of becoming a licensed clinical medical health counselor.
Now a Class of 2022 Pat Tillman Scholar, Tim is a co-founder of The Wounded Healer nonprofit. Knowing that positive clinical counseling results are enhanced with a counselor that has a shared experience with the patient, Tim’s vision is to increase military veterans in the counseling profession.
Tim’s journey proves there is no such thing as being “just a Ranger.” His story is #forAmerica.

Join us for A More Elite Podcast this Thursday with Innovacean president Randy Dames. Randy chooses to use his talents as an experienced marketing and branding strategist for Fortune 50 companies to assist Special Operators in developing their personal brands for the civilian workforce.
What drives a highly successful executive president to spend time with warriors transitioning from military service to the civilian world?
For Randy, the answer is simple – a desire to serve. There is a history of service in the Daems family, and Randy had a dream of flying but, like many, was unable to attend flight training. He continued to look for a way to connect to the military in a tangible way.
Now serving as a transition mentor, Randy is in the perfect position to share his professional knowledge with transitioning service members. Listen to Randy share common avoidable pitfalls for veterans entering the civilian workforce on A More Elite Podcast #forAmerica.

I am a big Meg Kelvington fan, and you should be too. Our paths should have crossed multiple times but never did until she found a slice of time to sit down for A More Elite Podcast.
Meg is a former Army fixed-wing pilot, current Army spouse, Liberty University graduate student, life and fitness coach, small business owner, and, oh, one other thing – mother of four kids. How does she keep her sanity and desire to help others find their purpose in between school drop-offs, sports, meal prep, and laundry?
First, Meg is extremely organized. Extremely. Organized. Second, Meg finds strength using her platform as a veteran, military spouse, business owner, and mother to glorify God. But, it was not always that way; she came to Christ in 2009 after realizing her broad shoulders alone were not enough to bear the weight of her responsibilities alone.
If you are feeling overwhelmed or just trudging through your day. Take a listen to Meg. She has a story that we all can relate to #forAmerica.

It only takes one person to make a seismic shift in the trajectory of another’s life.
New US Army Ranger Association president Jeff Wright can point to the reason he became a Ranger. As an ROTC cadet at the University of Texas, Jeff took notice of a cadre member with service in the 75th Ranger Regiment. To Jeff, that Ranger was the epitome of what a leader should be, an example to follow. Jeff would seek a commission in combat arms and eventually earned an assignment to the 1st Ranger Battalion as a fire support officer.
With a mission of fostering fellowship within the ranks of Rangers of all eras, it is no surprise that Jeff took USARA’s mantle of leadership with the desire to expand opportunities and places “for Rangers to be Rangers.” Jeff experienced the difference that just one Ranger could make in his career and wants to expand on the opportunities for others through the association’s formal Patrol Base structure and informal events.
The sense of community Jeff aspires to enhance is rooted in his faith. Jeff’s faith was tested his daughter was born with Spina Bifida, a birth defect in which an area of the spinal column doesn't form properly, leaving a section of the spinal cord and spinal nerves exposed through an opening in the back. His family’s ability to best support his daughter and maintain stability was made possible by his understanding of his unique place in his community.
Experiencing the healing power of connection, Jeff is continuing to foster the familial bonds that Rangers share. He knows the power of what one Ranger buddy can mean to another #forAmerica.

US Army Ranger veteran Nick Devlin joined the Army at 29 years old during the height of the Global War on Terror. Nick deployed four times with 1st Ranger Battalion. Before joining the Army, Nick was aware of his passion to make things better. After four years with the Rangers, Nick’s entrepreneurial spirit was lit by aligning his love of the fitness and outdoors with self-improvement.
Knowing the science of the healing properties of both nature and exercise, Nick knew his standing as an Army Ranger provided a level of “been there done that” hard to match. Nick was able to align his potential and passion with a purposeful career as a certified life coach providing the spark to an individual’s self-development and improvement.
Nick revealed an interesting detail from his experiences assisting clients during our conversation. Over the past three years, nearly all of the participants in his coaching program had a firm idea of their faith background. Interesting. We often think of those desiring counseling or coaching needing to “find” themselves. In Nick’s experience with life coaching, he finds those willing to seek guidance are rooted in a belief system. Nick’s clients know who they are and what they believe. His clients have the humility to acknowledge the truth of individual humanity – imperfection.
Hear how Nick encourages others to “take the leap” to live their life’s adventure on this week’s Ranger For Life A More Elite Podcast.

Adam Stalnaker has devoted the past two years to bridging the financial literacy gap in the military. Adam developed the Plan to Succeed personal finance class, created individual assessments and tools, and consulted active-duty service members and veterans on a better path for their financial future. What has he learned? In short, the military is a tough nut to crack when it comes to financial planning. Adam points out the majority of our military population are not coming from families that are excelling financially. This is no surprise. A number of studies cite roughly 75% of all American families carry significant debt outside of their home mortgage and more than 25% made payments to collection agencies for failing to maintain their debt payment schedules. These statistics suggest that the military would be open to learning how not to repeat their parents’ mistakes, but Adam suggests there are other environmental factors at play.
First, we have a diverse population that enters our workforce at a generally young age. Much like traditional college students leaving home for the first time, active-duty personnel are making money and spending free time with like-minded individuals that enjoy social activities and have the opportunity to make their first large purchase - generally a vehicle. Adam knows this is a recipe for debt or, at best, a feeling that there is little left to invest.
Second, Adam calls the Thrift Savings Plan a game-changer. TSP provides a single, well-defined program to start building healthy financial habits such as paying yourself first. The gap that Adam sees is that few service members are educated to select the right funds for their financial plan. Yes, the military is using the TSP and introducing many to personal financial planning for the first time. Adam reports that the majority of the active-duty personnel he works with have little knowledge of the TSP options available and if their TSP elections meet their financial goals.
Third, Adam brings up the ultimate irony in military personal finance. Unlike military operations where planning begins after the end state or ideal circumstances are defined at the end of a mission; when it comes to financial planning our youthful population has a difficult time looking forward and defining their ideal retirement. For Adam, this is the big investing red flag. Understanding retirement planning is the Why. Adam believes financial planning decisions answer the questions: how much to invest, when to invest, when to make risk decisions, and when and how to diversify are rooted in the end state.
How do we defeat the enemy within? We have found that one question gets our military thinking and acting on investing. We ask the military we serve the following question? Can you look in the mirror and say that you are making more money for yourself than a trained professional would make for you? If the answer is “yes”, great. If the answer is “no”, take action.

How do you connect with your children at the twilight of a 30-year military career? Pick up the game of hockey, of course. SGM Ret. Dan Lopez left a distinguished career as the U.S. Special Operations Command’s J6 Communications senior enlisted leader only to find himself busier than imaginable with pursuits that maintain his connection to the warrior community.
We were reintroduced to Dan when he introduced Ranger For Life to the upcoming Hockey Heals 22 event at the Advent Ice Center in Wesley Chapel, FL just outside of Tampa. Not enough to just be a member of the Tampa Warriors veteran hockey team, Dan took over responsibilities for marketing the event designed to raise awareness and funds for suicide prevention with the benefiting nonprofit Stop Soldier Suicide.
Through our conversation, we learned how Dan’s faith was instrumental in providing the guidance and direction needed to continue to serve with honor. Dan came to Christ halfway through his career with the help of Ranger Hall of Famer Chaplain Jeff Struecker.
Now, outside of work and time on the ice, Dan also serves as the Chaplain for the Round Canopy Parachuting team. Although not formally trained, Dan continues to serve by providing pre-flight prayer and sharing the good news wherever there is fertile soil. It is amazing the type of organizations and people we run into when we place relationships first in our busy lives. Enjoy Dan’s podcast #ForAmerica.

In this episode of A More Elite Podcast, we speak with Columbus, Ga. artist and Army child Bunny Hinzman to learn how she finds her inspiration and purpose through art.
Inspiration can come from a variety of sources – family, friends, books, and the like. For Columbus, Ga. artist Bunny Hinzman, the beauty and power of horses provided the impetus to pursue art. To pursue her passion for art, Hinzman entered the equine industry as a journalist. Getting closer to her art subject cemented her purpose to show beauty through the physical form. Now, with her own studio and a growing reputation in the southeast, Hinzman’s art has evolved to human subjects specifically portraits of America’s military heroes. She has produced the Medal of Honor portraits of Col. Ralph Puckett and Sgt. First Class Alwyn Ashe. Both of those portraits were unveiled and displayed at the award-winning National Infantry Museum.
While Hinzman’s passion is clear, the purpose of her art has evolved as she matured in her profession and in life. Originally, art provided satisfaction to the artist, now – with a renewed focus on human subjects – Hinzman finds the opportunity to connect with others as a shared benefit to the artist and the subject.
Over Memorial Day weekend she will be unveiling her portrait of fallen Ranger Sgt. Jason Santora during the Heroes of America Marathon. This work is the second of her Patriot Portrait Project series. The first patriot portrait was of fallen Ranger Sgt. Ronald Kubik. Both men were members of 3rd Ranger Battalion and were mortally wounded on the same mission in Logar province, Afghanistan on April 23, 2010. Hinzman describes the growth in her work paralleling the growth in her faith.
Always a believer, the connection of living and departed service members provides a glimpse of the love and pain the families feel for the courage and sacrifice of their loved ones. This is a story #forAmerica.

While Hinzman’s passion is clear, the purpose of her art has evolved as she matured in her profession and in life. Originally, art provided satisfaction to the artist, now – with a renewed focus on human subjects – Hinzman finds the opportunity to connect with others as a shared benefit to the artist and the subject.
Over Memorial Day weekend she will be unveiling her portrait of fallen Ranger Sgt. Jason Santora during the Heroes of America Marathon. This work is the second of her Patriot Portrait Project series. The first patriot portrait was of fallen Ranger Sgt. Ronald Kubik. Both men were members of 3rd Ranger Battalion and were mortally wounded on the same mission in Logar province, Afghanistan on April 23, 2010. Hinzman describes the growth in her work paralleling the growth in her faith.
Always a believer, the connection of living and departed service members provides a glimpse of the love and pain the families feel for the courage and sacrifice of their loved ones. This is a story #forAmerica.
How do we keep the Warrior Culture alive in America? We bring the tenant of military leadership to the civilian world by building bridges for our veterans to compete and thrive in the civilian workforce.
A Veteran "Dogface Soldier" of the Army's 3rd Infantry Division Seamus Murphy now serves as a management consultant with Accenture in New York City. Seamus initially reached out to Ranger For Life to share opportunities for veterans to thrive at Cornell University.
Seamus is from the upstate of New York, but Cornell was far from what he thought would be his reality for higher education upon graduation from high school. Like many veterans, Seamus's service and experiences overseas provided him a level of confidence to compete for a top-flight education upon his transition from service. But first, Seamus would have to humble himself by gaining a solid start in community college before gaining admission to Cornell. Once on the campus, Seamus found the services for veterans to be lacking. Like any good NCO, he took charge and helps build up the undergraduate student veterans program and is now championing Cornell as part of the recently founded veterans alumni network.
Most veterans that continue to stay involved in the betterment of their communities do exactly what Seamus did and is doing - filling the gaps and educating others on the opportunities not just in transition, but opportunities available by service.
Thanks for reaching out, Seamus.

Ron Anthe’s life changed forever on August 14, 2015. His oldest son Ryan passed in his sleep at the age of 26 due to complications he suffered from a substance abuse disorder that he battled from his early teens. As a father Ron watching his son battle all of those years, Ron received an education he didn’t ask for or want. Today he builds on that education by researching, reading case studies, and visiting with medical professionals on SUD and mental illness. Ron’s goal is to educate others by sharing his knowledge and experience in order to help prevent others from going through what he has. Ryan was set to begin speaking to groups and individuals sharing his story but he never got the chance. Ron honors his son and is proud to continue that path. His story is #ForAmerica.
