In this episode, we sit down with Chaz Kraynak, founder of FSB Initiative Inc. (Forward Support Base). After serving our country, Chaz suffered injuries that, combined with some tough choices, left him homeless. Out of that hardship came his mission: to honor, help, and serve others facing similar struggles. Today, FSB operates as an all-volunteer nonprofit—working around the clock to deliver real support to those in need. Learn more at fsbinc.org.

Our musical guest is Kelly Daniels, a talented artist who chose music over military service the very day he was set to enlist. With deep family roots in military and first responder service, Kelly shares his gift as a way of giving back.

He performed three powerful songs for us:

“Faded Photographs” (featuring Brooks Herring) — inspired by his grandparents’ resilience and the sacrifices of families who send loved ones off to serve.

“Kiss Me Goodbye” — a deeply personal reflection on love, loss, and the pain of silent goodbyes.

“Drowning” — an honest look at life’s hardships and the healing power of music over destructive choices.
