CY6 - Check Your Six

We finally grounded USAF Captain Anna Tanzilla with the Camaraderie Foundation, for Episode 63 of the Check Your Six podcast. Anna flew in to the GRP Studios from Lakeland, actually she drove so I can't use the very old "and boy were her arms tired" pun, to be on the show and talk about the work they are doing at the Foundation. This in not just for veterans but for anyone that is married to a vet, has a veteran in their family, works with vets, teaches children of vets, anyone that might be in the support role in any way shape of form. There are a multitude of resources available as well as the ability to mentor veterans and other programs that filled up our time very quickly. We really appreciated Anna taking the time to come in and chat with us, it always seems to be better when there are 3 Air Force veterans in the house, not sure why??

Episode 62 of the Check Your Six podcast brought Jennifer Rucco into the GRP Studios with the CG Moneta LLC group. Jennifer talked about helping businesses potentially reduce costs with things like tax incentive studies, corporate expense reductions, telecommunication, cloud and IT Service just to name a few. So many of us small, or emerging business owners, often just look at the cost of the products or services that we use without looking at the overall picture of those expenditures. There are other groups that do things similar to CG Moneta but they do take somewhat of a unique approach that comes with the experience of people with a business and financial background. As usual, there does not seem to be enough time to cover everything but we absolutely loved having Jennifer in the studio!!

Jennifer Englert from The Orlando Law Group stopped by GRP Studios again and talked about non-profits on the 61st Episode of the Check Your Six podcast. Always enjoy meeting with Jennifer and today was no exception as she walked through some of the topics surrounding the non-profit world. Jennifer and The Orlando Law Group have done so much for local charities both in support, instruction, development and helping them grow or at least provide the contacts that are needed to make that happen. She really is a tremendous resource for those that are looking to start a non-profit or need people that can help them grow. Today was just another example that her earlier episodes in season one, Episode 4 and 5, we just the beginning of what they can do.

We could see clearly after Dr. Farhana Yunus and Jerry Muscadin dropped by the GRP Studios for Episode 60 of the Check Your Six podcast. Dr. Yunus owns My Eye Care in Casselberry and is another of the Seminole Chamber members that we enjoyed having on the podcast. Learning what led Dr. Yunus into the field of optometry, her plan, along with Jerry, to slow grow the business and how they funded the start of My Eye Care were just some of the topics that we covered. It truly was a pleasure having both Farhana and Jerry in the studio and listen to the passion they have for their customers and the community.

Episode 59 brought another Seminole Chamber member into the GRP Studios for the latest segment for the Check Your Six - CY6 Podcast. Andre Kratt came in and talked about the need for property adjusters when dealing with insurance companies and the claims process. When you need to call them, why you should call them, what to expect from them and the results that you could get using them as opposed to doin it yourself. Besides doing appraisals on damage, they can also look at both homeowners and businesses insurance policies for gaps in coverage or for things that you might assume are covered but are not. A lot of great information from Andre about protecting yourself and getting what you should after any kind of emergency!

Episode 57 brought Jeff and Pam Brown into the GRP Studios for their session of the Check Your Six - CY6 podcast. Besides being a Deputy Sheriff here in Central Florida, both Jeff and Pam are impacting the lives of our first responders through the Hometown Heroes Alliance based right here in Central Florida. https://www.hometownheroesalliance.org/events
While they are based here locally, they are able to impact the lives of first responder and their families all over the country. We learned a lot about the lives of those that serve our community on a daily basis and what often happens when they are injured in the line of duty. Obviously with Jeff being a police officer for more than 40 years, he has seen a lot of things happen that are just incredibly sad when it comes to those that are serving the community. We really enjoyed having both of them on and hope to work with them in the months to come on some of their projects. #CheckYourSixPodcast # CY6 #firstresponders #police #firefighters #community #GRPStudios

Episode 54 of the Check Your Six - CY6 podcast had Air Force Veteran Sylvester Terry in the GRP Studios for the  Memorial Day episode airing today. Thanks to Sylvester, who does own a company called The World Golf Center virtual golf simulator, but today he talked about his ties with the local chapter of the Tuskegee Airman Inc. Back in WWII when these individuals were part of the Army Air Corps, they did amazing things with little to no support. It makes all of us that have served in the current rendition of the USAF, how much we own to some of the things that they did. You can find out more information about the General Daniel "Chappie" James Jr,  Central Florida chapter here at tia-cfl.org or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/cflctai/. Thank you Sylvester for sharing your passion about this amazing group of individuals and what they had to fight both in the field and here at home. Thanks also to the Army Band for their rendition of taps...gets me every time.
