This week, Chris meets up with high school friend William "Billy" Clark. After Billy graduated high school, he joined the Marine Corps Reserves and walked on to a NCAA Division I football team. After 9-11, Billy decided to go active duty, and crossed over to the US Navy.  Billy became a Master-at-Arms and cross trained as a military working dog (MWD) handler.  As the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan continued, Naval Special Warfare units found value in MWD's.  This led to Billy being assigned to a SEAL team and deploying 11 times, seeking out high value targets in theatre.  A combination of Billy's traumatic childhood and his combat tours led to post-traumatic stress injuries.  Listen in as Billy shares how he copes with stress and his current projects to help military veterans and first responders.

This week, #EvilCrusher Nic McKinley joins Chris on the podcast. As an Operative who served as a Country Chief for a Special Unit within the CIA, Nic witnessed not only the epidemic of child trafficking within illicit markets, but also the unrealized opportunity to apply his understanding and training to influence this global crisis. As Nic began to work with experts to better understand the problem in the United States, he found it impossible to turn a blind eye. As a result, DeliverFund was officially established as a 501c3 in October 2014 and our counter human trafficking organization, focused on ending sex slavery in the United States got to work.

Nic spent 11 years in US Special Operations as an Air Force Pararescueman prior to being recruited to the Central Intelligence Agency. Due to his highly specialized training and experience in both special and intelligence operations, Nic has a firm understanding about these illicit, illegal markets and has the highest levels of training to effectively combat them.
