Kim Monson grew up in western Kansas and has a deep appreciation for rural America. Kim is grateful for the classical, liberal, public K-12 education she received that gave her the tools necessary to pursue her hopes and dreams. She attended the University of Kansas for one semester and served as a Lone Tree City Councilwoman from 2012 to 2016.
After a brief detour in her life, Kim moved to Colorado with the belief that with hard work and perseverance, anything is possible. And it is. Kim began work as a bank teller in Longmont. A few years later, she went to work with a small stock brokerage firm as a stock trading assistant. Studying at night and on week-ends, Kim passed her Series 7 exam and shortly thereafter, went to work with Boettcher and Company as an investment broker. Within a few years, she became one of the youngest vice-presidents at the firm. Kim retired from the investment business when the second of her three children was born and has worked in the women’s apparel business for many years. In 2013 she began her broadcasting career as one of three “Americhicks” on KLZ 560 AM with a broadcast reach into Wyoming, Kansas, New Mexico and west to the mountains.
With the rampant divisiveness in America today, “The Kim Monson Show, Let’s have a conversation!” dissects issues using the litmus test of “Freedom vs Force and Force vs Freedom.” Surveys show that most Americans, (Blue dog Democrats, Unaffiliateds, Libertarians, Conservatives and Republicans), value the American Idea of every individual pursuing their Life, Liberty and Happiness. Kim promises to honestly, and with increased clarity, bring forth issues that affect you and those you love. We are in this “Battle of Ideas” together and Kim will do everything she possibly can to help you understand the issues so that you can engage in thoughtful dialogue with friends, family, colleagues and neighbors.
In 2016, Kim traveled with a group, organized by the Denver Police Activities League, that accompanied four D-Day Veterans to Normandy, France for the 72nd anniversary of D-Day. She returned to the states realizing that their stories needed to be heard. Hence the WWII Project was created. Kim has interviewed over 100 WWII Veterans. Her radio show, America’s Veteran’s Stories with Kim Monson highlights Veteran’s stories from all wars & conflicts plus peacetime service.

Representative Wilson was elected to the Town of Monument Board of Trustees in 2016, and served as Mayor Pro-Tem until 2018, when he was elected Mayor.

Russ
As a teacher and homeschool dad in the 1980s, Russ was among many who were concerned about families in Colorado who had to defend their efforts to homeschool in court. He joined arms with other homeschool pioneers who helped form the first homeschool organization in Colorado: the Colorado Home Educators’ Association, (CHEA). This organization advocated for homeschooling and helped establish the first homeschool laws in Colorado, allowing homeschool families to benefit from the many freedoms and rights we enjoy today. By sharing his personal experience, Russ demonstrates how homeschooling unites families, revives communities, and strengthens faith.

Caleb Price was born in a small town in Northern California and spent his teenage years touring in a rock band and eating cold pizza. Deciding it was time to move past splitting $60 between five dudes in a smelly van every day, he pursued filmmaking and graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelors degree in film production from Brooks Institute in Southern California.
Producing and directing became a full time endeavor as he created music videos, commercials, and short films, before moving into feature length projects. His first feature film, “Connect” starring Kirk Cameron was broadcast in over 700 theaters and licensed by Netflix shortly after. Caleb then produced and directed a tv show called “One On One”, featuring multiple guests in a non-traditional environment discussing faith, family, and politics. “One On One” was picked up by Netflix in 2021. Caleb also produced and directed “The Homeschool Awakening” where you can join Kirk Cameron as he dives into the adventures of dynamic American families on a mission to put fun and faith back into learning.
Caleb has been producing and editing for over 15 years. As a husband, and homeschool parent to five kids, discipleship is very close to his heart and guides the types of shows that he produces. From development through post production, Caleb believes in working with strong teams to produce top tier content that uplifts, inspires, and encourages.

Braxton Rogers is a 16 year old banjo player originating from Lawton, OK. However, if you ask him where he’s from he may struggle to tell you because he has been traveling the country in an RV with his parents the past 4 years exploring the National Parks and attending music festivals and banjo camps. He has been studying and playing banjo seriously for about two years now and loves it more everyday. Last fall he won first place in the Oklahoma International Bluegrass Festival Banjo Competition. He recently filmed an episode for Season 2 of Woodsongs Kids and played at MerleFest in Wilkesboro, NC as an Ambassador for the Andy May’s Acoustic Kids Program. He is also a cast member of Smoky Mountain Tunes and Tales in Gatlinburg, TN. He has written and released his first single “Miss You to the Moon” which can be found on all your music streaming platforms.

Marsha Brower
Marsha Brower started playing instruments at age three and has never stopped. Though teaching music was not her career goal, her interest in and enjoyment of music guided her passion to teach music to others. She taught music classes in school and offered private lessons, growing in knowledge as she prepared for and taught each class. She began teaching music to students in homeschool co-ops and enrichment programs. As an assistant for two homeschool band programs her understanding of music instruction grew. When the instructors for these programs could no longer teach, she picked up the baton and carried on. Hence, Colorado Homeschool Music was born.

Steve Schuck’s career resume reads more like an adventure, a mission to succeed and to lead. It began with an economics degree from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. Following graduation, he became a math teacher and head football coach at Manlius, prep school for WestPoint. After two years in New York City, he and his wife, Joyce, a published author, headed west. They have three children, six granddaughters, two grandsons and three great granddaughters.
The business Steve founded is wholly owned by the Schuck family. In the more than 50 years since its beginnings, the company has grown from a small real estate brokerage enterprise to a major developer of commercial, residential, industrial and mixed-use projects in multiple markets.
The Schucks have, or had, more than 50 joint ventures and partnerships, creating and developing more than 5,000 residential home sites and 10,000 acres of commercial projects in the Denver, Colorado Springs, Portland, and Phoenix markets, valued in the billions of dollars.
Steve Schuck’s leadership has also extended to many community and civic challenges, including being or having been a trustee of the Daniels Fund and Alliance for School Choice, Life Skills Center, Rocky Mountain Community Foundation, Step 13, the Bighorn Center, the Colorado Alliance for Reform in Education, Independence Institute (past Chairman), CACI, Kids Voting, The Career Building Academy, Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce, Pikes Peak Y-USO, Junior Achievement, Boy Scouts, Western National Bank, Penrose Hospital, National Jewish Hospital, and the UCCS and CU Foundations.
As a founder or co-founder of both the state and the Colorado Springs private economic development programs, the Greater Denver Corporation, the Colorado Leadership Forum, and the Republican Leadership Program (now the Leadership Program of the Rockies), his entrepreneurial accomplishments reach far beyond business.
Presently his focus is on improving public policy, both in Colorado and nationally, so that all parents, regardless of their circumstances, are empowered to choose the education they think is best for their children. In early 2003, his efforts contributed to the passage of Colorado’s HB 1160,then the country’s newest and strongest school choice legislation. And he and Joyce have backed up their commitment to education by creating and funding Parents Challenge, which has provided scholarships and grants to more than 1700 disadvantaged kids in both public and private schools.
He has been named “Citizen of the Year” by the Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce, the Colorado Association of Homebuilders, the Urban League, the Board of Realtors, the El Paso County Republican Party, and has received a medal of merit from the University of Colorado Board of Regents, Step 13’s first award of leadership, the David S. D’Evelyn Award for Inspired Leadership from the Independence Institute, the YMCA’s Woodgate Award and the National Center for Neighborhood Enterprise’s Achievement Against the Odds “Pharaoh” Award and, with Joyce, was chairperson of the Easter Seals Telethon, the March of Dimes Mothers March, and received the Lions Heart Award from CSCS.
Gov. Owens proclaimed Oct. 15, 2004 as Steve Schuck Day. Steve also received the Ellis Island Medal of Honor Award, was named Honorary Dean of Real Estate by the Franklin L. Burns School of Real Estate, Daniels College of Business, University of Denver, received the Colorado Springs Gazette newspaper’s Freedom of Spirit Award, was honored by the Red Cross with its Humanitarian Award, and by the mayor of Colorado Springs with his “Spirit of the Springs” award.
Steve Schuck believes passionately that “Everyone will benefit when business entrepreneurs bring their real world experience and talent, developed in the competitive marketplace, to society’s challenges.”
So he took his thoughts on improving government even a step further. He ran for the Republican nomination for Governor of Colorado in 1986, hoping to apply his community and business leadership to the challenges facing his state. He lost by fewer than 3,000 votes, but made, and still makes, important contributions to the political landscape. As a candidate, he was endorsed by the Denver Post, which praised his “restless energy, driving intelligence, infectious humor and contagious need to do something.”

She grew up in the suburbs outside Nashville with her parents, two younger sisters and a menagerie of pets including horses, a dog, cat, goat, ducks, and various hamsters and guinea pigs. As a kid, Wende was a competitive swimmer and an avid horseback rider. She met her husband, Paul, when she was 15 and a Junior in High School. Paul was a Senior at the same High School, and they became friends immediately. They began dating after she graduated from High School in 1980 and would go on to attend college together. After graduation from college, both went to work for an adolescent psychiatric hospital and then for the State of Tennessee Department of Human Services as social workers. In 1986, they married, and Paul began Law School later that Fall. Wende would follow him and start Law School the following year. They attended school together at night while working together during the day for the State of Tennessee in Child Protective Services and Foster Care. Paul graduated and passed the Bar in Tennessee in 1990 and Wende in 1991. In August of 1991, they became Foster parents for a 10-year-old boy who would later become their oldest son, Thomas. They would go on to have three more children, Samuel, born in 1996, Noah born in 1999 and Lucy born in 2002.
Before joining Brighter Day Law, Wende and Paul practiced family law together in Tennessee, with several of Paul’s relatives, for over thirty years. During that time, Wende also served as the chair of the Adoption section of the Davidson County Foster Care Review Board, worked as a trainer with the Court Improvement Program of the Administrative Offices of the Court and provided services to several non-profit organizations that work with children.

Katy Crumpton has been homeschooling her four boys for almost 12 years. She grew up 15 minutes from downtown Dallas and had never crossed paths with any homeschooler until she met her husband in college. She is a musician, teacher, wanderluster, reader, artist and always chasing "awe" for herself and her kids. She loves to take her family on long roadtrips that can last weeks, usually focusing on National Parks or bustling cities. This curiosity for anything and everything inspiring and wonderful has taken her family from coast to coast, experiencing the world as authentically as possible.
If your child is interested in joining her Homeschool Choir (for teens aged 12 and up), search for "Colorado Springs Homeschool Vocal Ensemble" on Facebook or Google to learn more! You can find her musings on Instagram at @katycrumpton or on Facebook. She used to have a blog you could access, but life got too crazy. New to Colorado from Texas, her family is always on the lookout for great Mexican food, but thinks it's a perfectly fine swap for mountain views, beautiful hiking, and no tornadoes. Katy hopes to inspire other homeschooling parents to follow their own path and not feel trapped in one thing forever. The desire to throw in the towel is an every-couple-of-months cycle for her, and no one ever feels like they are doing the very best anyway. So do what you can, right now, with what you have, and take a moment to be thankful.

Hi my name is Anica Midthun (Ma-Toon) and I am one of the attorneys at Brighter Day Law. I moved to Colorado three years ago and attended the University of Denver – Sturm College of Law. I wish there was something I could say “drew me” to Colorado, but I didn’t put a lot more thought into my move than considering the sunshine, sports teams, and as many outdoor activities as you could imagine. But that’s par for the course for me since I am from a military family. I grew up moving all around the world, living on four continents by the time I turned 20. I even graduated high school in England though I am disappointed I won’t be bringing a British accent to the show, I never picked one up. Growing up, most weekends I would be in a different country, competitively swimming or trying as many foods as I could get my hands on.
Now a days, my life is less flying and more filing, attorney life fills up my weekdays. On the weekends you can find me hiking 14ers, skiing double black diamonds, or hanging out with my dog Ginsburg and my fiancé. I love to cook and try new recipes weekly though my go-to is jalapeno popcorn, I could eat it for every meal. I have been at Brighter Day Law since September 1, 2021 and am loving every minute of it. I am thrilled to be on the show.

Guest: Devin Christensen
A 4th generation Colorado native, Devin was born and raised on his family’s farm in northeastern Colorado. Being from an entrepreneurial family he became involved in several different business ventures even at a young age. From raising chickens and selling the eggs at age 6, purchasing his own semi-truck at age 16, to running his own marketing business at 21, business seemed to come naturally. However, several profound spiritual encounters led him to walk away from his business and pursue full time ministry in a highly unusual way.
Choosing to give everything away, he began living out a new vision. One of living by faith. He has now spent the last 10 years traveling and doing ministry based on the dreams he has at night. Having felt called to not fundraise or ask for money, he relies solely on God to send him what he needs and has an abundance of stories of miraculous provision.
He now travels and speaks for various ministries and churches, doing seminars on how to practically live by faith, how to hear from God in dream and visions, and on spiritual authority and warfare. Having lived out the New Testament call of Jesus to “leave everything and follow Me…” his passion and joy is to help people hear from God for themselves.

Guest: Tim Johnson, Copperfox Coffee Roasters
Tim Johnson is native to Colorado Springs, CO. A couple fun facts about Tim: Music is part of his core and he is a guitarist at heart, leadership in the workplace is important to him, he is a visionary and always sees the potential in something, he is resourceful and works with a sense of urgency, and he is married to Laura (his best friend and business partner) and together they have two sons, Caleb and Ferris.
Tim has worked in the coffee industry for over 15 years and has been roasting for over 10. He began working at a coffee shop while he was in college because he needed the money. At the time, he didn’t even like coffee. But the more he learned about it and tried it, the more he realized, geography has a flavor.
In his over 10 years of roasting, Tim has realized that coffee tastes so much better when it’s a lighter or medium roast because you can taste more of the notes from the bean when it’s not smokey or burnt. Plus, the lighter the roast, the more caffeine. So that’s also a pleasant bonus. Coffee has so many different notes and flavors, it is easy to distinguish itself, as mentioned above. For example, Latin American coffee will have sweeter notes like caramel and chocolate, whereas African coffees tend to be fruitier. This can be anywhere on the spectrum between a grapefruit to a darker fruit, like a plum. So, as you can see, geography really does have a flavor.
All that said, but Tim wanted to do more than just sell great coffee. What was the purpose? What was the heart behind it all? You can buy coffee anywhere, but Tim wanted to give back. Out of this, Copperfox Coffee Roasters was born. Copperfox Coffee Roasters is coffee with a purpose, coffee with a heart. Simply put, 10% of all proceeds go to fight human trafficking. Copperfox Coffee Roasters gives to an organization that risks their lives to investigate and set these children free. So, the bigger vision behind selling coffee is to help set children free from the sex industry.

B.Sc / RMT Program Director, LifeSpark Cancer Resources
Usui Reiki Ryoho Registered Karuna Reiki® Master/Teacher
Julie@LifeSparkNow.com

LifeSparkNow.org
Hi, I’m Julie Speetjens and my motto is “Worry Less, Reiki More”. I began my healing journey when corporate burnout had me feeling like a robot just going through the motions of my life, after working as the CFO and Project Manager for our IT Consulting company for a decade. Reiki has been a springboard to my spiritual awakening and has renewed my life-force energy!
I am honored to be serving as the Program Director for LifeSpark Cancer Resources, a leading-edge nonprofit organization that provides Reiki and Healing Touch treatments free of charge to individuals with cancer and their primary caregivers. Few lives are wholly untouched by cancer, and it is a privilege to be able to share the amazing healing power of energy medicine with our Participants. Our therapies are complementary and integrative with traditional medical care, and bring a holistic approach to healing. Everyone deserves peace while going through cancer, and our treatments reduce the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation while promoting a deep sense of well-being.
LifeSpark’s unique program of Reiki and Healing Touch treatments are gentle and supportive. Nearly 80% of those receiving sessions in our program report feeling significantly better both physically and emotionally, and 95% of participants say the sessions were valuable and they would refer others to our program. It is quite normal for Participants to fall asleep during a session, and nearly all of them report feeling lighter and more relaxed afterward. Over 100 LifeSpark Reiki and Healing Touch volunteers deliver thousands of sessions annually. LifeSpark is dedicated to serving individuals and the oncology medical community through education, training, advocacy, and delivery of hands-on and distant healing sessions.
Energy medicine administers a transformative force that truly can heal our mind, body, and Spirit if we allow it. In 2019, Reiki helped me recover from hip surgery by alleviating my pain, promoting sound sleep, and empowering me to stop taking pain medicine and abandon my crutches weeks ahead of schedule. In 2021, I was able to provide hands-on Reiki during my son’s wisdom teeth removal. Not only was there minimal swelling and pain medication in the days following his surgery, but also he was rock climbing within days and eating almonds within the week! I believe the healing power of Reiki is limitless and we are just beginning to understand its potential and the Quantum Mechanics behind it.
I am Registered Karuna Reiki® Master/Teacher through the International Center for Reiki Training, as well as an Affiliate Member of the Reiki Membership Association. I have created and hosted several online events, including “Zen Wednesdays” and “Soul Journey Sundays”, and I have been featured on several holistic wellness podcasts. I am also a Coordinator and Speaker with Healing Wheel Wellness Retreats. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Environmental Science from the University of Alabama as well as Certificates in Energy Medicine, Music Therapy, and Sound Healing from the University of Colorado.

Mya Delagarza Bio
I am a paralegal at Brighter Day Law. Before I entered my legal journey, I was a paraprofessional at Academy School District 20 while attending UCCS undeclared. I knew I wanted to either be a teacher or a professional in some legal field, just wasn’t completely sure. After having my daughter and being a stay at home mother for a year, I decided it was time for a career change and becoming a teacher wasn’t in the cards for me. So, I decided to look into entry level positions at Law Firms and landed a job as a receptionist at Torbet Tuft & McConkie; where I met Angela Jones who helped guide me into the paralegal role I am in today. After several years of being a Family Law Paralegal with all the good and bad that comes with this career, it is an accomplishment every-day. Helping others when they are at their worst, striving to make their lives better in the now and future, helping them overcome the hardest decision they either must make or accept, and encouraging them to do what’s best for not only themselves but their children. That is why I do what I do as a Family Law Paralegal.
Outside of work, I am a full-time single mother who doesn’t get a lot of free time, between a 7 year old diva and being the oldest of 9 siblings, there isn’t much time left. I like to decompress at the gym either lifting or spending an unreal amount of time switching in between the sauna and steam room. I enjoy the free time I get with my friends, when they are in town or if I get the luxury of visiting my besties in NY. I absolutely adore the times I get to be lazy and binge watch shows on Netflix while stuffing my face with mint chocolate chip ice cream. Other than that, I am your typical Colorado girl who also loves time in the mountains, but only when it is 65 degrees or higher, anything below, count me out.

APEX GEAR COMPANY
Apex Gear Company co-founders Nick Wyatt (Marine Corps) and Drew Everett (Army) have been friends since childhood. They first partnered on an e-commerce site for Nick’s family owned company Foot Medic Insoles. One day they had a great idea – a one stop marketplace for Veteran owned retailers and Veteran brands. They assumed someone else had already filled that market gap but extensive research showed they were wrong. Apex Gear Company debuted to the public on September 11th.
There are numerous books on how military strategies and philosophies can transfer to the business world. Many business executives refer to the “The Art of War”, a tome written by Chinese General Sun Tzu in the 6th century BC. In this Veteran Entrepreneur episode Nick and Drew discuss their experiences in the context of Sun Tzu’s writings.
They describe Apex Gear Company as “an Amazon for Veteran brands” and their target customers are those who are looking for unique products they won’t find in other places. The site features a very diverse set of products including apparel, tactical gear, food/beverage and beauty/health products. They focus on diversity and breadth of catalogue when selecting partners for their website. To qualify for their website partners must be Veteran owned and actively selling online. Nick and Drew also look at sales data to assure it is a product in demand. They are constantly looking for other Veteran produced products to build out their catalogue, especially those smaller companies who don’t have the expertise or budget for extensive on-line marketing.
One of their values is to be a better marketplace and create a unique sales channel for their partners. They do not charge any upfront or registration fees and simply retain a percentage of sales lower than the industry average.
TAKEAWAY: “The response and support we have received from the Veteran network has been the most humbling part of this experience.”

SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS TRAINING – LT. COL. JOHN HOFFMAN
The Office of Special Investigations is an Air Force unit whose mission includes investigating felony level crimes and conducting counter intelligence operations. They are highly trained and this show discusses a rather unique training exercise implemented by the Commander of OSI Detachment 217.
While assigned duties at Davis-Monthan Air Force base, Lt. Colonel John J. Hoffman and his wife visited Tombstone, Arizona and took in a gunfight re-enactment. It struck him that it would be interesting to do crime scene training on a movie set. He ran the idea up the chain of command and before long was undertaking Operation “Lights, Camera, Training”.
The Mescal movie site is located outside of Benson, Arizona and has been the filming location for over 80 movies including the 1993 version of Tombstone starring Kurt Russel. OSI Agents, Security Forces Investigators and members of the Judge Advocate General’s Office were dispatched to the remote site for the day. “Crime scenes” recreating the murders of Morgan Earp and Tombstone Town Marshal Fred White were staged at the same locations used in the film. Authentic old west props, fake blood and “victims” provided by the fire department added to the “authenticity”.
Participants then undertook crime scene investigations. The purpose of the training exercise was to help agents identify what elements are important and to collect the evidence and document the scene in a manner that would be presentable in court.
John is a patrol supervisor for the Outagamie County Sheriff’s Department and is also a member of the Air Force Reserves. OSI Reservists are usually Individual Mobilization Augmentees and are assigned to fill slots as needed. Over his career, John has been assigned to seven different OSI Detachments.
TAKEAWAY: Given the average age of the participants, many had to watch the film Tombstone for the first time before participating in the exercise.

BATTLE OF CASTLE ITTER – JOHN C. MCMANUS
The Battle of Castle Itter was one of the most bizarre actions of World War II and just one of the interesting events we discuss with noted historian and author Professor John C. McManus. John is often called upon as a subject matter expert for numerous television programs and has authored 14 books on military history.
Battle of Castle Itter began on May 5, 1945 during the last days of war in the European theatre and five days after Hitler committed suicide. While some German soldiers were committed to a fight to the death, others were more pragmatic. SS officer Kurt Siegfried-Schrader approached US Captain Jack Lee to tell him that about a group of high level French prisoners being held in Castle Itter and his concern they might be slaughtered by Nazi fanatics. What ensued was something strait out of a movie plot; German soldiers, a French tennis star and a pair of World War I French Generals fighting side by side with American Soldiers defending a medieval castle against overwhelming odds.
Maintaining the “Castle Theme” we also discuss the fight to capture Fort Montbarey. The Fort was constructed in the 1700’s but proved exceptionally resistant to modern weaponry. The Fort was finally captured when combat engineers used a very medieval tactic; tunneling under the castle walls and placing explosives.
John’s latest book “Island Infernos” is the latest in a series of books he has written about the Army’s role in the Pacific War. John began the series because he believes the Army’s role in that theatre is often overshadowed by the Marines and Navy. The book exposes several interesting details. These include the capture of a key communications code book that allowed the allies to unlock Japanese communications for nine months and General MacArthur’s “cult of personality.”
Many business owners ask the question “How do I get more leads to grow my business”. Since only 18% of business owners focus on customer retention and less focus on growing their business from their existing customers, the question they should really be asking me is “ how do I maximize my existing customers to grow my business?” It costs 5x more in marketing dollars to get a new customer than keep a current customer. 65% of your revenue comes from your existing customers.
The concept of Maximizing Your Existing Customers To Grow Your Business is exciting, but you need balance so make sure you don't go overboard on client retention strategies at the expense of new customer acquisition. Start by retaining the customers you already have with some simple actions steps in this episode and then slowly branch out to creating systems to acquire new ones.
About Today’s Topic or Guest: Today’s show is going to focus on Customer Retention Strategies. The ways you can get more revenue from those existing customers and how to get those customers to refer you to new customers.

SEPTEMBER 11 TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY
September 11 survivors Matt Rosenberg and James Gagliano share their thoughts 20 years after the attacks. Matt was an Army Medic at the Pentagon and Jimmy was an FBI agent in lower Manhattan.
Matt was assigned the position of Mass Casualty NCO at the Pentagon about two weeks before September 11. His primary duty was as a medic in the minor surgery clinic and emergency response teams. Because the plane that hit the Pentagon impacted a section recently been renovated to include bomb resistant designs, it was not initially apparent to Matt that they had been hit also.
When Matt received permission to enter the burning section of the building he recalls “To this day I will never forget the look my supervisor gave me – it was one of those I don’t expect to see you again looks.” Someone gave him a shirt soaked in what they thought was water to help deal with the heavy smoke. He would later learn it was water mixed with jet fuel.
Jimmy was on his way to a dental appointment when he heard the news over the radio and turned around to rush into lower Manhattan. He says the fact that he was in a soft cast from recent ACL surgery – moving slower than normal may have saved his life. Jimmy arrived just as the first tower came down and spent months “working the pile” looking for survivors and remains. One of his most vivid memories of September 11 was the image of those souls who chose to jump to their deaths rather than die in the flames.
Both Matt and Jimmy agree that they would like to see a return the visceral feeling of resolve, connectivity and sense of unity that our nation felt shortly after the attacks.
We reflect on concepts of passing the torch to subsequent generations. Young people joining the military and emergency services today know that the September 11 attacks set a new standard for what our nation and communities expect from them and they join anyway.

EAGLE DOWN – JESSICA DONATI
“Eagle Down; The Last Special Forces Fighting the Forever War” is a powerful book by Jessica Donati that is receiving high praise from many including Sebastian Junger. Jessica currently covers foreign affairs for the Wall Street Journal. She was the bureau chief in Kabul in 2015 and lived four years in Afghanistan.
Eagle Down tells the personal stories of several Green Berets posted to Afghanistan conducting “training operations” following the official declaration that the “longest war in American history was over”. The book covers many of their missions in detail both heroic and heartbreaking. Jessica was motivated to write this book because the messaging that the government was sending out did not align with the reality on the ground. These Green Beret “advisors” were often at the tip of the spear in combat operations.
She covers several missions where Green Berets were sent in to recapture positions taken over by the Taliban, often without proper equipment or air support due to the restrictive rules of engagement. This created very real tensions between the soldiers and command leadership.
Jessica was embedded with Afghan commandos and says they are great fighters and very impressive. However, their own leadership could not always get them air support or even paychecks. She says that the average Afghan simply wants peace.
We are also joined by journalist Jessica Stone who is part of a group of humanitarian aid professionals involved with the Afghanistan Transit Initiative. They are working to help get at risk Afghans to safer locations so they can be evacuated. They have 375 individuals in their first wave to move to safer locations. Funds will be used for transportation and life support services while their permissions and paperwork are processed. You can help by making a donation here.
TAKEAWAY: “I don’t know if there was a way to win but there were certainly several different ways to lose.”

GORUCK CO-FOUNDER & CEO JASON MCCARTHY
GORUCK co-founder and CEO Jason McCarthy says his path from leaving the Special Forces to building a $100 million company is a “cautionary tale”. He even wrote a book titled “How Not to Start a Backpack Company.”
Jason served with the Green Berets and his wife Emily was a CIA Case Officer deployed to West Africa. Jason put together a “go-ruck” for Emily to carry in her vehicle and home. This planted the seeds for GORUCK, but it was a long journey fraught with many ups and downs.
“You go from having a super high speed job to doing nothing that is cool anymore. Reconciling that can be a difficult thing to do.” Jason’s marriage was falling apart and he found himself sleeping on a friend’s couch. His Green Beret training taught him that doing something is better than doing nothing. So Jason loaded some of his backpacks and drove the contiguous 48 states with his dog Java, pitching his product to potential retailers. No one bought any.
A transformational moment for GORUCK came when Jason and a team joined a rucking competition to “field test” their gear & take some photos. He saw how many people were enjoying the activity. GORUCK would expand from a gear company to a people first company. They have now hosted over 7,000 rucking events with 150,000 participants all across the country. They range from simple team events to the brutal GORUCK Selection Course featured in the documentary “The Standard”.
GORUCK also supports various Veteran & First Responder charities including The Green Beret Foundation.
P.S – The story has a happy ending. Jason and Emily are back together and their “back of a napkin” idea is hugely successful.
TAKEAWAY: “Failure is central to the human experience. I failed so many times in the Q-Course and in the early days of GORUCK. It’s all about what you do when you fail.”
Duane France continues his conversation with Eli Varney, a licensed professional counselor and explores the lessons we can learn from failing and specifically the 4 lessons Duane learned from failing the U.S. Army Jump Master Course in the Insight segment. He also spotlights TESSA of Colorado Springs, empowering victims of partner violence in the Homefront Military Network resource of the week.

BONE FROG CELLARS/BONE FROG COFFEE – TIM CRUICKSHANK
Bone Frog Cellars and Bone Frog Coffee Founder and CEO Tim Cruickshank says “giving is the reason we exist as a company.” I bet you won’t find that mission statement on many company websites.
Tim served with SEAL teams on both coasts. In addition to being the team corpsman he was also the primarily responsible for demolitions. “My kids knew nothing but me being at war the entire time. I was gone for half my son’s life at one time.”
Tim retired in 2016 and was inspired to start the Bone Frog Companies while speaking at his retirement ceremony. “We had been at war sixteen years and it was still continuing. I wanted to find a way to give back. They say we die twice; once when we stop breathing and once again when someone says our name for the last time. I wanted to create a way to keep reminding people about these heroes.”
Tim knew nothing about roasting coffee or making wine. So he engaged subject matter experts including Dave Stewart, one of the Founders of Seattle’s Best Coffee. His partner Dave Johnson also plays a critical role in keeping him aware of his left and right boundaries.
A portion of the proceeds from both Bone Frog businesses are donated to military charities including the Navy SEAL Foundation. This Foundation helped Tim his family while he was deployed
The Bone Frog symbol was first drawn by a Navy SEAL Keith Kimura and became a sacred symbol upon his death. SEALS use the symbol to commemorate a fallen teammate. Tim redrew the symbol out of respect for Keith and integrated the SEAL Trident and Navy anchor into his company’s logo.
TAKEAWAY: “For everyone who is thinking of starting a new business; find something with purpose that you are passionate about. For Veterans – there is a huge community out here ready to help you.”
On this episode, Duane's Insights segment centers around the difficulty with Military Deployments and breaking the news to kids.

BONE RATTLE – US MARSHAL MARC CAMERON
“Bone Rattle” author Marc Cameron is quite familiar with some of the scenarios presented in his latest thriller. He lived them during his long career with the US Marshals
Service. Bone Rattle is the latest addition to his “Arliss Cutter” series and joins Marc’s bestselling Jericho Quinn thriller collection. Marc was also chosen to continue the very popular Tom Clancy books.
Much of Marc’s career was in judicial protection but he most enjoyed his time in fugitive apprehension units. He draws his story ideas both from his experiences and travels as well as current world events like the John Clark (Tom Clancy series) character’s exposure to the world of child trafficking. Marc is a trained tracker and we spend some time discussing how technology like social media has augmented the toolkit of man hunters.
Marc was always interested writing, telling his wife he wanted to be a novelist even before they were married and then confessing he also wanted to be a police officer. She bought him a ballistic vest and a typewriter. His first published short story paid a month’s rent and his wife said “Now go write us a couch!”
He begins much of writing with basic pen and paper. While working on three different series simultaneously may seem challenging, he says they are all so different it has not been a problem.
We spend a little time “talking shop” and the importance of situational awareness in today’s dangerous world. Marc believes one of the biggest threats is people becoming so attached to their cell phones that they walk around unaware. He also shares his take on the status of the current relationships between law enforcement and the civilian community.
TAKEAWAY: Marc says he is fortunate to have developed a very successful career as a novelist but it is still “the SECOND best job in the world”. He very much misses his time in the Marshals service.
This episode's Insight segment centers around the topic of common perceptions about veterans in the media and in our community. Our guest interview is with Clinical Psychologist Dr. Emily Rademan from Peak Mind Consulting and the Resource of the Week features the Pikes Peak Workforce Center.

VOLITION AMERICA – JOHN SAPIENTE
Volition is a powerful concept first introduced to John Sapiente by Air Force pilot Dan Rooney. Rooney advocates; “It’s the most empowering force in the world. Volition is the POWER of choice. Every day we wake up we have a choice; we can be positive, we can be negative. We can choose to love, we can choose to hate. We can choose to pursue our dreams and our passions in life. But understand, our choices will culminate to write the legacy of our lives.”
As a busy manufacturing executive responsible for two companies, John Sapiente never really thought about or appreciated the sacrifices that military families make to protect our freedoms. An avid golfer, he purchased an opportunity to play with PGA legend Craig Stadler at a Folds of Honor tournament. It was there that John says Dan Rooney gave him a “Patriotic Awakening”.
Dan proposed the concept of starting a business called Volition America that would allow people to choose America and raise funds for Folds of Honor. John leveraged his decades of business experience and the help of fellow entrepreneurs to make the concept a reality. A minimum of thirteen percent of Volition’s revenue is returned to Folds of Honor. (There are 13 folds in the American flag.)
Volition America first partnered with Puma in 2017, then added Wilson Sports and Revo Sunglasses. They just signed an agreement with Luminox Watches. They are selective in their collaborators, only talking with premium product lines and like minded people. John would also like add special events that bring audiences and brands together. “We don’t want this to be just a holiday brand. We want it to be a 365 days a year brand.”
TAKEAWAY: “Every one of us benefits from what these people do. How are we ALL not rallying around this? I feel like it was my job to help get the word out.”
On this episode's guest interview segment, Duane France talks with Joe Lewis, Founder and CEO of Angels of America's Fallen, provides Insight on the concept of post traumatic growth and the Resource of the Week features Prep Connect 360.

DECLAN JAMES WATCH COMPANY – BRIAN DOUGHERTY
Declan James Watch Company founder Brian Dougherty is applying the attitude and mental toughness he was taught as a Navy SEAL to help with his career as an entrepreneur.
Excerpts from the SEAL’s creed give credence to his belief. Examples include; “We demand discipline. We expect innovation. The lives of my teammates and the success of our mission depend on me – my technical skill, tactical proficiency, and attention to detail. My training is never complete.”
Brian thinks he may have been just as happy in the Army Special Forces but as a young man he began applying SEAL exercise techniques and built a particular fascination with the Navy teams. At the age of 28 he was lacking motivation and a supervisor suggested that maybe he should join the SEALs before he regretted not doing so. He made two deployments with SEAL Team 7 as an intelligence specialist and served one tour as a BUDS instructor.
He founded the company with the idea that a fine watch is rooted in legacy and tradition. He wanted Declan James Watch to teach his sons the keys to success in entrepreneurship. The company is named after his first son. “Running a business is very much like looking to the guy the right and left of me at BUDS. Rolex started out as a small company too.”
Brian was referred to American Warrior by successful Veteran authors Andrews & Wilson. They practice a collaborative philosophy of doing whatever they can to lift up other Veteran entrepreneurs.
”When I left active duty it was the second time I fell in love with America. The Veteran community has opened their arms to me and offered to help me in so many ways. This represents the core values of what America and the military are all about.” The SEAL Future Foundation has also been a phenomenal help to Brian.
TAKEAWAY: “I want YOUR child to call MY son up someday and ask him about the watch he received from his father.”
Duane's guest interview is with colleague, Ken Datson a licensed professional counselor specializing in couples therapy. The Insight segment discusses why surprises can be challenging for some veterans and the Resource of the Week features Pikes Peak Community College and it's history.

Old Guys and Their Airplanes Founder John Mollison started drawing at a young age. His father built model airplanes and John’s mother would encourage him to draw the scenes depicted on the boxes. He has created thousands of works of art that are on display in fourteen countries. What makes his images extra special is that he also interviews the pilots who flew the aircraft he depicts.
This “aha” moment came when John had already achieved success in his restaurant career but felt he was lacking skills in leading his teams. Triple World War II ace Bud Anderson agreed to mentor John and suggested he tape their conversations about leadership. One day Bud suggested “If you want to interview other older guys I will open up my rolodex.”
This show broadcasts from the 390th Memorial Museum in conjunction with a special ceremony presented by the Distinguished Flying Cross Society to honor Col. Richard Bushong. Col. Bushong is a B-17 pilot that was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for bringing his crew and badly damaged aircraft safely home after a particularly dangerous bombing mission to Berlin. We give John the microphone to practice his craft by interviewing Col. Bushong.
John is committed to his Old Guys and Their Airplanes project because he believes that “history is nutritious”. Learning history also teaches us the virtues of faith and hope. He also believes that by introducing these heroes in a way that defines them as normal people it creates a touchstone that average civilians can understand.
John created a special drawing of Colonel Bushong’s aircraft for this event. Thirty numbered copies autographed by John and Col. Bushong are available as a fundraiser for the 390th Memorial Museum and may be purchased at their online store.
TAKEAWAY: Both John & I feel compelled to record as many of these stories as possible because “When an old man dies, a library burns.”

SACRIFICE – GOLD STAR WIDOW MICHELLE BLACK
“Sacrifice: A Gold Star Widow’s Fight for the Truth” by Michelle Black is a powerful read. News that her Green Beret husband had been killed in action was just the beginning of a nightmare for Michelle and her family. Sacrifice is not a “grief” but rather emphasizes why it is important for our military families to be told the complete truth.
Staff Sergeant Bryan Black was a Green Beret medical specialist killed October 4th, 2017 in Niger. Staff Sergeant Jeremiah Johnson, Staff Sergeant Dustin Wright and Sergeant La David Johnson also lost their lives. Michelle recounts that Bryan was truly a Renaissance man and quite brilliant. He became a national chess champion at a young age, spoke four languages (two of them self- taught) and even built a stock trading algorithm.
Michelle and the families of the other soldiers killed on that day received briefings from Army officials that began with few details and evolved into a series of “squishy” narratives. Michelle herself had very little exposure to the military but with the help of her retired Marine father-in-law she began to identify several inconsistencies in the story they were being told. The ultimate insult came when Bryan and his team were accused of “going rogue” and Bryan’s team “was not indicative of what special operators do.”
As part of her quest for the truth, Michelle interviewed all the survivors of the action and Sacrifice includes a VERY detailed account of transpired that day. Readers will rapidly become aware the death of Bryan and his colleagues had been avoidable and the mistakes made went beyond the typical fog of war.
Michelle also shares how her perspective about Memorial Day has shifted since Bryan was killed.
TAKEAWAY: Michelle emphasizes that her experience was a campaign against injustice and has not turned her against the military. She would still support her sons if they chose to join.

Darden Smith has been called one of the most respected American musicians working today. As a songwriter, he has spent most of his life thinking “There’s a song here somewhere.” His motto is “Write Songs. Tell Stories. Move People.”
As a typical civilian, Darden Smith had a lot of misperceptions about what it meant to serve in the military. That was before he was booked to perform at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center for a group of service members just returned from Iraq. He says the concert didn’t go very well but it changed his life. It was there he met a guitar playing Marine who shared some wisdom; “We ALL wear uniforms. YOU look like a musician and I could judge you based on that. But beneath every uniform is a human being.”
Darden had previously done collaborative song writing with various groups. He wondered what it would happen if he, as a civilian, sat down and collaborated with Veterans. While visiting with the Texas Air National Guard in his hometown he first heard the term Angel Flight and immediately knew THAT was a song title. When he asked a pilot why he did it, the response became the first verse of a new song. While visiting his friend Radney Foster, Darden was experiencing writers block. He and Radney sat down and finished “Angel Flight” in thirty minutes.
He was asked to do a collaborative writing workshop with some soldiers in Colorado Springs and “it blew his mind.” That experience led him to work with Mary Judd to create “Songwriting With Soldiers”.
TAKEAWAY: “Go..go..just go. Sometimes your dream isn’t how you make a living. If it makes you happy do it because life is finite, time is finite. Do your thing because the world actually needs what you have.”
Interesting factoid - one of the featured show guests, songwriter Darden Smith who is co-founder of Songwriting With Soldiers, did his first collaborative songwriting even there in Colorado Springs - which inspired him to create the organization.
Host Duane France talks about the importance of trust when addressing the mental health needs of the Military affiliated population, an interview with Kelly Robbins, a licensed professional counselor on couples therapy and the resource of the week CPCD that assists younger members of the Military.

SONS OF VALOR – ANDREWS & WILSON
Sons of Valor is the latest release from internationally best-selling Navy Veteran authors Jeffrey Wilson and Brian Andrews. Jeffrey served as a combat surgeon operating with SEAL teams and a Joint Special Operations Task Force. Brian served as an officer on fast attack submarines. They both join us to shed some insights into their new book. We also discuss how the military concepts of teamwork and mission before self have been transferred over to their writing and promotional models.
Sons of Valor releases to the public June 8th and raises to prominence a minor, but very popular character in some of their previous books. The co-authors begin the process of writing each book with a “what if?” proposition. In the case of Sons of Valor, this involves a terrorist organization that gains access to technologies that eliminate the asymmetric nature of battle.
We spend a great deal of time talking about transitions following military service and both Jeffrey & Brian share their thoughts and challenges they personally faced. Both guests emphasize that Veterans should realize they are not alone. There is a whole community their fellows who have successfully made the transition and are willing to provide mentoring or other support.
Their team philosophy extends to their promotional strategies as well. They believe that Veterans can lift each other up. Some examples of this creative cross promotion include using Bottle Breacher products on their merchandise page and a Bone Frog Coffee line specifically named after their new series. They also often review books written by fellow Veteran authors like Jack Carr.
TAKEAWAY: “Regardless of what business you want to go into, if you are going to be cowed at the first roadblock that’s a shame. This is how the world works – there are a lot of gatekeepers whose job is to slam the door in your face and see what you do.”
Our Insight Segment explores the myth of invincibility that surrounds servicemembers, a conversation with Matt Albright, Director of the Center for American Values in Pueblo, Colorado and the Resource Segment features the Pikes Peak Suicide Prevention Partnership.

“Freedom” is the latest release from multiple New York Times bestselling author Sebastian Junger. He has also produced several documentaries including the Academy Award nominated documentary “Restrepo”. In my opinion, Sebastian is one of the most insightful translators of the nature of the human condition I have ever read.
Photo Credit: Peter Foley
He chose the topic because “Freedom is one of the few things that people are willing to die for. It’s a core human value.” “Freedom” is a short but powerful read. Sebastian says that in today’s world people are busy so he wanted to communicate the core of his message as efficiently as possible.
Freedom is organized into three basic chapters. He chose the three elements that have historically allowed people to retain autonomy in the face of a greater power; Run, Fight & Think. Each chapter examines the concept of freedom through a diverse set of examples ranging from historical peoples to certain animal groups. A particularly fascinating point he makes involves the Gini Coefficient, a measure of the income gap in a country. Empires who have really dominated human history have moderate Gini Coefficients.
Sebastian is co-founder of the Vets Town Hall. The special events allow Veterans of all eras to stand before their communities and speak. Dozens of these town hall events have been held across the country.
This week's guest interview is with colleague Dr. Jim Bixler, Marriage and Family Therapist from Family Care Center. The Resource segment features information on Lifestance Health. The Insight segment centers around the need for Service Members need to find meaning and purpose.

D-Day was the largest seaborne invasion in history and the beginning of Irv Locker’s World War II journey to Berlin. Along the way he survived the Battle of the Bulge and witnessed the horrors of Nazi concentration camps – a powerful moment for a Jewish kid from New Jersey.
Irv was assigned to the 116th AAA Gun Battalion and landed at Utah Beach on D-Day. He says that a constant refrain on June 6th, 1944 was “You’re a victim if you’re on the beach – get off the beach so you can become a warrior!”
His unit was moved into the Ardennes when the Battle of the Bulge began and found themselves cut off from supply. Due to the nature of their AAA guns they would have to set up in open fields and the cold was a constant threat. Irv would regularly send his supply Sergeant to take clothing and boots off of dead soldiers. To this day he still takes medication for frostbite he received during that battle.
In the spring of 1945 Irv’s unit moved west of Berlin and came across the Gardelegen Camp where 1,000 prisoners were burned alive. “I’m Jewish and the first thing I did was throw up and I sat down and cried at man’s inhumanity to man.” He took photos because he feared people on the home front would not believe him.
Irv was honored by President Trump at the State of the Union address but it was the words of a French youngster that gave him a greater honor. At a 75th Anniversary event in France he saw children wearing shirts emblazoned with “I am a child of freedom, Merci dear Veteran.” When he asked where he could buy one a child said he couldn’t and then took the shirt off his back and gave it to Irv.
