In this episode we talk about VetFest IV. In order to talk about VetFest you have to first understand what VetFest is. For me, I saw it as a coming together of a lot of veteran run businesses and non-profits who's goal is to make the veteran space better. A lot of companies focused on suicide prevention and getting help to those that need it. Others were artists that use their crafts to help them cope with the issues they are going through. Then there were the others that were just trying to make the world a better place for not just veterans but people as a whole. Definitely an event I will go to again.
I managed to interview 5 different groups while there. Below are the names of the groups and their web pages so you can get more info on them.
