Nothing Owed

In this episode we talk to Angie Morelli of Customistic.com. Angie is a Marine, (although she is an air-winger.....LOL. Jk....). Angie talks about her time in the Marine Corps, and how she started a business in her free time while she was still enlisted, and despite some warnings from her chain of command......

Angie made some amazing decisions right off the bat that really set her business up for success. She also talks about the struggles that are unique to her. This is a great episode for anyone, but I think this one will be especially inspiring for any female entrepreneurs!

He is the father of three girls, and documents his adventures in family life on his IG page @thedodobrotherhood. Mitch is a very humble guy who has a lot of knowledge to share.

In this episode we talk to Lester Lumbad. Lester is an Air Force veteran who had a very successful military and civilian career. Lester eventually ended up in Las Vegas with his family, and had plans to eventually move back to Southern California. However, he and his wife decided to stay in the Las Vegas area.

After that, Lester found a lack of services were available for veterans looking to advance their careers after the military. Lester then founded the Souther Nevada Veterans Chamber of Commerce. Lester is using his organization to help veterans grow, as well as link them up with local businesses that want to employ veterans and their services.

Wether you are a veteran or not, this is a great episode! Everyone will get a ton of take a ways!

In this episode we talk to Craig Martin of High Seas Provisions. Craig is a Navy veteran, and served as a machinists mate for just over 10 years. He planned to make a career out of the Navy until the Navy decided to change his plans.

Craig talks about how he had no desire to join the military, yet, after he enlisted, decided to stay. He talks about starting in the Nuclear Engineering program in the Navy, and how he eventually made his way onto the USS Iwo Jima.

When Craig left the Navy he tried to start a new career, but wasn't riding what he was looking for. Craig talks about how he started his company on the side, while working full time. And how eventually, his company became successful enough, that he was able to transition to working full time in his business.

Craig is yet another example of someone who was thrown a curveball, but reused to let it bring him down.

In this episode we talk to Joseph Kent. Joseph is current running for Washington's 3rd Congressional District. Joe is an amazing guy, and was very generous to spend some time with us during his campaign. Joe enlisted in the Army to become Ranger, then became a Green Beret. He completed several deployments to Iraq. And if that wasn't enough, Joe decided to become a CIA contractor. Joe has spent his entire life serving the United States, and now he continues to serve by running for Congress. Even after a horrific loss, Joe continues to push forward and continue his life of service to the United States.

We could have talked to Joe for several hours, but we wanted to focus on some current issues that were relevant to his campaign. The format of this episode may be a little different than our previous shows, but we felt it was important to give Joe a platform to speak about current events, and how they relate to the mission of our podcast. Make no mistake, Joe is yet another shining example of our show title, 'Nothing Owed'.

In this episode, we talk to Dave Adams of Dash Ten Hot Sauce. Dave is an Army veteran that was forced to retire due to injuries sustained while serving. Dave was unsure what to do, but always had an idea handed down from his mother in his back pocket. Eventually Dave took the first step, and created an entirely new business. Dave has a great story that I'm sure nearly everyone can relate to.

In addition to the new business, Dave has still been able to donate to charity. Dave is yet another great example of our motto, 'Nothing Owed'. I know you will really enjoy this episode.
