John aka "Batman" is the founder and CEO of A Hero For Kids based out of St. Cloud Florida and continues to do fantastic things in the community for kids and families. If you spend any time at all with John you will quickly learn what makes him tick and most of it is his love for kids and his desire to give back. Starting out as simply just doing things, he soon realized that it needed to become bigger and POW, BIFF , ZAP.....A Hero For Kids was born!! His tag line is not all heroes wear capes, but John is a hero and he does wear a cape! #aheroforkids #checkyoursixpodcast #CY6 #podcast #grpstudios #community #givingback

The Baja Men had it right with Who Let The Dogs Out when Ally Nass and Dan Cornier dropped by the GRP Studios for the 42 Episode of the Check Your Six podcast. Ally and Dan, Army and Marine veterans respectively, created Command K9 Service Dogs as a way to giving back to veterans as well as civilians that are struggling with a multitude of emotional issues. Both Ally and Dan have experienced first hand what those conditions are like that can cause anxiety, PTSD and other emotional challenges from military service, first responders and beyond. Their love of animals and their desire to help others made it this episode really special when we saw how much these animals have done for them and they even brought Trump in to see us, well sort of. #serviceanimals #military #firstresponders #givingback #checkyoursixpodcast #CY6 #grpstudios #small-business

Chuck and Debbie Davidson made their way into the GRP Studios for the 41st Episode of the Check Your Six podcast talking about their business Techy. With so many of the things that we use on a daily basis, being able to fix and/or repair all of our electronic devices. Chuck and Debbie talked about some of the challenges of the business as well as some of the fantastic opportunities that Techy provides to their franchise owners. They also talked about giving back to the community and their plan for the month of March to donate a portion of their proceeds to the charity that Craig and I both work with, Kids In Support of Soldiers. Chuck was our fist Coast Guard veteran that we had on the podcast so we did not make a lot of fun of his service, but Debbie did bring up a very interesting point during the podcast...something about the Air Force boot camp going virtual this year!!! Ouch...;o) #techy #checkyoursixpodcast #grpstudios #smallbusiness #small-business

We have had a couple of Realtors on the Check Your Six - CY6 podcast so Episode  40 brought mortgage broker Angie Federici into the GRP Studios for her session. Angie was a great compliment to the information the Realtors provided and talked to Craig and Tim about the funding from a mortgage broker standpoint and the relationships that can be built with having  great Realtors and brokers. She also talked about the Hero program that she is involved with the way that she is able to give back, especially to veterans, first responders and now teachers as well. Great information on the mortgage side and funding for homes. #grpstudios #vetsgrowth #mortgage #broker #funding #podcast #military #firstresponders #educators #checkyoursixpodcast

Episode 38 of the Check Your Six - CY6 podcast brought back to back realtors into the GRP studios. Pamela Costa with Coldwell Banker Realty came in for her session today and talked about some different aspects of home buying and selling not only here in Central Florida but International as well! Her niche as we found out was working with seniors in helping them with home purchases, either downsizing or second homes and the challenges with working with some of us that are older and may not be on the cutting edge when it comes to technology....both Craig and Tim are old school so we felt right at "home"!! #CY6 #podcast #coldwellbanker #realty #veterans #grpstudios #small-business

Episode 34 of the Check Your Six - CY6 podcast, had a little bit of a different slant on it when Jeremy Shontz stopped by the studio and talked about the challenges of selling automobiles. A lot of us have opinions about car sales personnel, some good, some not so good, but Jeremy was able to shed a little light on how the operation works at Napleton Volkswagen here in Central Florida. It was a lot of fun having him in the GRP Studios and we learned a lot about how things work. Don't know if it made us like shopping for cars, but it helped. #checkyoursix #podcast #grpstudios #automobiles #dealerships #small-business #CY6
