We're back with a new episode from our show, Never Left Behind. This week is a bit different than usual and we always want to do our best to cover major topics and holidays in between our regular episodes with veteran guests. This week we cover all things surrounding Veterans Day and how we can all get more involved to truly help veterans and help change the narrative. We sit down with Tom Amenta, one of our co-founders, and talk about the good and the sometimes bad things that come with this holiday especially in the most recent years.

Welcome back to the show, we are back this week with an epic episode for you. We apologize for missing last weeks show. Dan’s family and myself both were stuck at home and sick from covid but we are back and better than ever. This week is a bit different. We typically try and stray away from too many combat stories and focus on the transition that each veteran goes through. However, we had so many questions when we knew we would be featuring Ryan Hendrickson, former Army Green Beret, and author of Tip Of The Spear. Ryan shares some pretty insane moments he faced during his deployments including multiple near death experiences. This episode is full of courageous moments and lessons we can all learn from. Make sure and grab yourself a copy of Tip of The Spear to read about the full details and more on some of the topics we cover in this weeks episode.

Through the ups and downs Jesse has had to overcome, he is full of positivity and wisdom we know you all will enjoy listening to on today’s show.

Outside of all the craziness that is happening in Afghanistan and in our world currently, we hope that you enjoy today’s episode. This one is definitely an uplifting and motivational one. Today we are joined with Sophie Hilaire who served in the army and deployed to Afghanistan in 2012. To say this woman has lived an eventful life in such a short amount of time would be an understatement. From climbing Mount Everest and some of the worlds tallest peaks, to setting a Guinness book world record, and now living in a van and traveling the country, these are just a few of the crazy topics we discuss with Sophie. Full of wisdom and humility, we hope that not only our veteran listeners but our civilian brothers and sisters receive an incredible message from this episode to carry forth in our personal lives especially in hard times.

This episode is a bit of a sensitive one. It's a bit different than our usual shows but with the chaos that is going on right now in Afghanistan. We felt it was an important time to put everything down, take a break this week, and dive into it. We've always been about supporting other veterans and now is the time when we all need it the most. We have been on numerous news networks over the past week from CNN, MSNBC, FOX, Washington Post, News Nation, Newsmax, and many more, discussing our opinions and sharing more details about our upcoming book, The Twenty-Year War. This week has been hard on everyone but we hope you enjoy this positivity filled episode in hopes to ease peoples minds a bit and allow us all to come together. Next week we are back to our regular show with a guest and stay tuned for more exciting updates.
