In this episode, Mike sits down with two of the most amazing people who are after REAL CHANGE! Steve Nisbet & Jennifer Byrne are both Veterans of the United States Air Force  and have teamed up to ensure that the heroic men and women in uniform outlive and overcome their own battles. That's why they started Shields & Stripes; a 501(c)(3) dedicated to redefining mental health rehabilitation to heal those who sacrificed so much to protect this nation. The story behind Shields & Stripes is incredibly moving and underscores the sometimes invisible pain that our Veterans, Law Enforcement Officers and First Responders endure.

Shields & Stripes is still in the start-up stage and is hosting their first pilot study the week this podcast airs (20-25 September 2021). As many of you know, PTSD and Mental Health issues are rampant in these communities and these service members need our help. It costs $5000 to sponsor a service member through this 4-Month program, and is at NO COST to the service member receiving treatment.

That said, there are a couple ways YOU CAN HELP.
1. You can share this episode with as many of your friends and family as you can. We need to spread the word about organizations like Shields & Stripes.
2. You can head to their website listed below and donate.

In this episode, Mike sits down with Co-Owner of UBORA Coffee to discuss the world of java. UBORA is one of the most celebrated coffee shops in the Augusta area, largely in part due to their amazing coffee line. Coffee is such a widely consumed beverage and is probably one of the most consistent thing in people's lives. Check out this podcast to learn some of the ins and outs of roasting coffee, in addition to learning how to brew consistently great cups of that black gold.

I highly recommend that you order some of their coffee for yourself. It's extremely aromatic and always delivers that punch I need to get my day rollin'. Ubora is also the official coffee of ForTheNation Podcast. Use the link below to pick up some of their beans and help support the show!
