Adam's Bio: Adam Bird, founder and CEO of Heroes Media Group LLC, is a seasoned, serial entrepreneur and leader in building companies, educating, training and mentoring and empowering teams to success. Bird's career has been centered around serving America's Community Heroes for more than a decade, including Military, Veterans, Firefighters, First Responders, Law Enforcement, Educators, Medical Professionals, and Clergy. While he has primarily focused his attention on HMG's media platforms, he saw an opportunity to expand into the beverage market this year. For the past five years HMG had a coffee blend called Heroes United. When he saw an opportunity to leverage these products as a way to give back, he took that opportunity to launch an entirely new business venture. HMG Beverage LLC launched in November 2020, the week of Thanksgiving. Started with five blends, and now offers a spirt line as well to include, Gin and Straight Bourbon Whiskey with plans of offering other beverage options as well, with a portion of every purchase donated to charity.

Freedom is hugely important to me, and I know it's tremendously important to my guest on the RELAUNCH of The Live Free Series, Dave Galluch! I know Dave as a great human being, a true AMERICAN PATRIOT, and a lover of corgis! I can say this with conviction because he was my teammate as a Navy Special Operations Bomb Technician. Dave committed his life to defuzing bombs and rendering explosive ordnance (conventional, improvised, or otherwise) safe. He also chose a path to lead others in the same pursuit, with the same mission as a Naval Officer.
Now, Dave is doubling down and showing us that his American patriotism runs deep. He is currently on the campaign trail running as a Congressional Candidate for Pennsylvania's 5th District!
Our conversation reinforces how powerful the nuclear family is, the role of a strong connection with your extended family, and the need for authentic leadership in every aspect of our lives.
US Congressional Candidate Dave Galluch shares a remarkable story of resilience! From fighting off toxic mentalities to discovering his true path and serving for it every day, overcoming all odds, and LIVING FREE!

Amy takes us on a journey from being a hotel professional, wife, and mother to losing her job, herself, and nearly her mind.

Listen to learn the steps Amy took, enabling her to overcome self-limiting beliefs and regain control of her thoughts, actions, money, and FREEDOM!
This is a true story of resilience, being plagued with a toxic mentality, and fighting through that to overcome and LIVE FREE!

What gets you out of bed every day? Is it to serve a purpose? Far too often, that is not the case. Jay takes us on a journey from dismantling improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in combat to dismantling stress in peoples’ lives. Reflecting on his time living too close to the edge, going hands-on IEDs in Afghanistan, risking everything—nearly losing everything, and deciding to make a change, Jay delivers actionable lessons to implement into your life right now. By positively identifying your purpose and choosing to live for it every day, you will become a better leader, a better spouse, a better friend, a better human.
