  • Veterans Facing Cancer With Love And Backup
    Apr 6 2026

    Cancer isn’t a solo fight—especially for veterans. But too many are still fighting it alone.

    In this episode, Marine Corps couples Joe and Jennifer Worthy, and Casey and Ashton Kroner, share the reality behind colon cancer, testicular cancer, remission, and the grind of chemo. This is the side of cancer you don’t see—shock, denial, constant appointments, and the strain of trying not to lose your identity as husband and wife while cancer pushes you into patient and caregiver roles.

    We break down veteran cancer risks—burn pits, Gulf War exposure, Camp Lejeune water, asbestos—and why one question from a doctor, “Have you ever served?”, can change everything.

    If you’re a veteran or caregiver navigating this alone, this conversation offers real steps: build support, advocate for your care, and get screened early.

  • U.S. Army Pilot on Success, Regret, and Purpose
    Apr 2 2026

    What if success isn’t the right career?

    In this Unarmored Talk podcast episode, I sit down with U.S. Army veteran Frank Van Buren, author of Life Lessons from the Cockpit, to explore his journey from flying night missions to Wall Street—and the realization that success alone doesn’t equal fulfillment.

    A chance conversation on a beach in Cyprus during the Beirut Air Bridge set everything in motion. It led to business school, a career in finance, and ultimately a deeper truth: purpose comes from alignment, not just achievement.

    Frank breaks down three leadership lessons you can use immediately:

    Growth happens in adversity
    Fear of regret outweighs fear of failure
    Self-awareness reveals your strengths

    If you’re navigating transition, leadership, or purpose, this conversation will help you choose meaning over burnout.

    👉 What’s one decision you’re making today that your future self will thank you for?

  • For the First Time, He Opens Up: Why People Matter More Than Profit
    Mar 24 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Have you ever stopped to ask yourself—am I putting people first, or just chasing outcomes?

    For the first time, David Tellefsen removes the armor.

    In this episode, the 22-year Marine Corps veteran and Director of Veterans Services in Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin, shares what drives his passion for serving others—and why people must always come before profit.

    We discuss leadership, the identity shift after the military, and the reality many veterans face when transitioning. David also breaks down common VA benefit misconceptions, the danger of comparison, and why focusing on your own journey matters.

    This is a conversation about purpose, leadership, and putting people first—every time.
