2200TAPS Podcast

We are BACK and kicking it into higher gear than where we left it. 

Join me as we sit down with our friend Trent Fielder who is the prime definition of an overcomer AND warrior. This man has endured some of the most brutal experiences life can possibly throw at someone and it all started when he was a little boy.

He continues to fight his ass off, proving those doctors that they were indeed WRONG!!

Thank you Trent for being such an inspiration to us and everyone you come across. We love and appreciate you as always brother!

After reading an article about another teenager committing suicide, I called for an emergency Podcast episode that needed to be done asap. Thankfully, I had many who reached out to help put this special episode together in hopes to help our kids, parents and caretakers who are really struggling with lost hope. 

Our kiddos are hurting and all they want to be is heard. Our parents are hurting because they are parenting out of fear which in turn comes out sideways to our kids. Our caretakers are also feeling the same things if not more. 

Join us as we sit down with our guests who bring some nuggets to help our kids, parents and caretakers on this amazing episode. What's even cooler, April and Maddie are actually a mother/daughter duo that bring their story to the table and talk us through what worked, what didn't work and so fourth. Elishia brings a very different angle as a healthcare provider, shares her story about raising her boys and how she worked through that fear. 

I couldn't ask for a better final episode to sign off with for this madhouse of a year we call 2020!!

My next guest is our very first adaptive athlete and brother in arms, Marine Corp. Veteran Aron Cheatham. After surviving a motorcycle accident while on Active Duty, he chose to do something that not many people could never imagine doing. All this for the sake of his unborn grandchildren! 

Also, find out how we both met through the Adaptive Training Foundation, founded by retired NFL football player David Vobora. Thank you Aron for coming on and sharing your story brother! This is one of the coolest episodes by far!!

Have you ever wondered what people would say if they were still here with us after a horrific suicide attempt? What if I told you my next guest not only survived his suicide attempt, but framed the bullet hole from the exit wound on his wall. I know, crazy right?! Just look at the profile picture for this episode.

Well, join us on the very special episode about Roy Williams, an Army Veteran who not only survived the attempt, but managed to call 911 after it happened. This episode is absolutely jaw dropping when you find out how it all unfolded and the message he has for our viewers who are thinking about taking themselves out or just need a heartfelt story of a man who has found a his purpose again all while to telling others..."Don't waist it"!!

I only wish more Veterans would speak up about the madness that we see on the inside that not many civilians know about. Believe it or not, one thing that is highly frowned upon is getting help for your mental health. If you seek help, it could end your career which is why many don't seek help and just stuff. The other...reporting sexual abuse/harassment of any kind. Many (not all) Commands will sweep these reports under the rug or retaliate against their own. Which is exactly what happened to my next guest which ultimately ended his career.

There's really nothing left to say other than get ready to hear about some jaw dropping moments as we sit down with Retired Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer Claude Morrissey. His story is absolutely frustrating to hear yet hopeful at the same time. Not to mention, this was by far my funniest episode yet which sounds polar opposite of what we're about to share with you. We hope you share this with your loved ones as we bring light to a very dark area within the Armed Forces. This shit needs to stop!!!

American Sniper Chris Kyle!!!

You might know his name and a little bit of his story as portrayed by award winning actor Bradley Cooper in the Academy Award winning hit American Sniper. You might also know the events that lead up the untimely deaths of Chris and his buddy Chad Littlefield.

What many don't know is the story about the woman that was his rock, his amazing wife Taya. That is until now!

I had the privilege of sitting down with Taya to discuss her story, how she's been able to overcome such horrible losses, how music has helped play a crucial role in her life and what she's doing now. Talk about a huge blessing to have her on our show.

Thank you Taya so very much for giving us your heart. We love you!!

What if I told you that for a brief stint yours truly was homeless, would you believe me? What if I told you I picked up a part-time job at a gym just so I could take a shower, would you believe me? Well it's all true and I promise I'm going somewhere with this.

One of the coolest things in life is when the stars line up and I get to meet some kick ass, everyday people and Veterans who keep fighting the good fight to help bring an end to suicide, Veteran suicide and Veteran homelessness. With that said, you don't want to miss this special episode as I sit down with Marine Veteran Karalyn Martin to showcase some of the ways she's been able to help fight veteran homelessness (females specifically) and her own personal story that literally rocked me during this interview. 

We're going to talk about the good, the bad and the ugly on how many women have been treated in the service and how she has been able to prevail from retaliation. This isn't a male bashing segment at all, it's her story. It's one of many similar stories that are starting to surface for the general public to see. I'm just so glad she chose to come on our show to tell us how she was able to overcome some of the darkest demons imaginable. She's a fighter to say the least.

Also check out the links below to learn about some of the resources we talk about on this episode. They're reputable non-profits here to help you or someone you love with mental health, veteran homelessness or hell, to reconnect with comrades. We're all here to help, just reach out to someone and tell them we sent you!!
