I met Sara through the Friday Night Masshole Vets (https://www.facebook.com/MassholeVeterans) Zoom Call. It is where a bunch of the Veterans in the Masshole Region (New England) get together to socialize. It has been a great way to connect and meet other Veterans.
We were all hanging out one night when Sara started talking about hiking the Appalachian Trail. I started asking questions and realized that this wasn’t just talk. Sara wanted to use this experience and time to think. It also became clear that Sara sees a goal as a challenge and goes after it with everything she has.
Just learning about the equipment Sara is going to carry for more than 2200 miles was fascinating. I thought for sure she was going to use military gear to do the hike and found out there are vast differences between what we carried during our service and what is considered good for civilians.
I left the conversation with a sense that Sara is excited to go and be a part of nature. And while she is not wandering, achieving this goal will bring a new perspective on life and what she wants to do.
Thanks for talking with me Sara, I will meet you at the finish.

It may not look it, but Daniel and I have a lot in common. There are three things that unite us as brothers in arms. We served in the Marine Corps, we like heavy metal music, and we love Warhammer 40K. Daniel created a Facebook and MeWe group called VetsRock. That is how we met. It is a place where if you listen to or play rock and roll or heavy metal you can join in the fun. He was surprised when I joined and we started talking music. We met in person at the 2020 Irreverent Warriors Boston Halloween Party. Daniel showed up as Thor and crushed it. As we said in the conversation, a big thanks to Gladys Morgan for putting on that event. It was a great time. It was there that we started talking about about Warhammer 40K or 40K to all the players and fans. Daniel plays the game, but I like the lore. Just sitting there at the party or the Masshole Veterans Zoom Calls and shooting the breeze brought me back to many conversations in my 5-Ton in desert as we were pulling our HAWK gear. It was a good time. I want to do more of these. I know my show has been purpose driven, but doing this helped bring me back into alignment that sometimes all we need is someone just talk with about things we enjoy. Can’t wait to talk with you again Daniel. Next concert in town we are in the pit! Ave imperator!

I met Heather Clark at the 2020 Irreverent Warriors Nashville Hike on September 11th. She is a Navy Veteran. It was early morning after the event at The Boondox and Heather was offering a yoga class for Veterans. While I didn’t exactly get my Namaste on I could see that there were benefits to what Heather was teaching. I say benefits because these were yoga poses based on drills I done with firearms training in and out of the Marine Corps. I was hooked. Since then Heather has been Oscar Mike. She is starting her own company and is working to make yoga more accessible to veterans. She hosts the 7 Echo Podcast on YouTube and has many other things in the works. You can see Heather perform with Chris Turner (www.christurnermusic.com) at The Boondox February 12th 2021 for the Hearts for Warriors Event. Yoga was just the start and I can’t wait to see what she does next!

When people think coaching, they often think of sports or athletic coaching. Especially when “High Performance” is used as the coaching nomenclature.
Judy Skilling was a Navy Corpsman, and after leaving the Navy discovered that helping people gave her a sense of purpose that she couldn’t get in other career fields. She found that the principles in the High Performance Coaching Platform could help people attain their personal and professional goals.
Like Heather Hargrove, I found that Judy takes a proactive approach to identifying her client’s needs and giving them the tools for lifelong success. If you are stuck in the proverbial rut personally and professionally go to www.judyskilling.com to learn more. I can’t wait to have Judy back on Oscar Mike Radio. We just barely scratched the surface of the High Performance Coaching Platform. Thank you Judy!

January 16th Tarrish Potter will be performing at The Boondox (https://the-boondox.business.site/) in Columbia, TN to support the launch of L United.
Tarrish has literally been performing all her life. Whether with her family or being a child actor, Tarrish’s experiences eventually led her out to Nashville.
Connecting her music to someone listening is one of the most rewarding aspects of being artist Tarrish told me.
When I asked her about family connections to the military, there was a look of pride when she told me about her family’s service across generations. Tarrish is honored to use her music to support those who have served.
Despite all the challenges that came from COVID-19, she is looking forward to songwriting, recording, touring in 2021.
I have enjoyed getting to talk to all the country music artists that are supporting L United. Thanks for coming on Oscar Mike Radio.

L United is bringing hockey to Veterans and children in the Nashville, TN region. This organization is taking a unique approach to hockey for children and Veteran’s Advocacy.
Chris Turner started playing music in the Marine Corps. Music became a passion and he moved to Nashville to start his country music career. Like the other artists who are supporting this event, being able to perform is life itself. Especially when it is for a cause like L United.
