This episode focuses on and salutes the brave women and men who served in the military and are alive, they're our veterans. Paul Lawrence Vann is a veteran having served over 20 years in the USAF.

Veterans Day was originally named Armistice Day on November 11, 1919, which was the first anniversary of the end of World War I. Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance, and November 11 became a national holiday beginning in 1938. 

Veterans Day pays tribute to all American veterans living or dead but especially gives thanks to living veterans who served their country honorably during war or peacetime.

1. 18.8 million living veterans served during at least one war as of 2018.
2. None percent of veterans are women.
3. Seven million veterans served during the Vietnam War.
4. Three million veterans have served in support of the War on Terrorism.
5. Of the 16 million Americans who served during World War 11, about 325,000 were still alive as of 2020.
6. Two million veterans served during the Korean War.
7. The top three states with the highest percentage of Veterans were Virginia, Wyoming, and Alaska.

Salute a veteran and thank them for their service. Freedom is not free and can only be sustained through vigilance and a commitment by those who believe in their country.

Kathleen Gage's interview is a must-listen-to episode because she provides a wealth of knowledge. As a marketing and business strategist, Kathleen Gage has made it her mission to teach solo and small business owners how to become visible to their market through the power of clarity of their message and to package their core message into speaking engagements, books, information products and consulting and coaching services.

Known for her “no-nonsense, common sense” approach to all she does, Kathleen teaches experts how to determine the best strategies for getting their message out to market. 

Kathleen loves shattering the myth that we are too old to go after our dreams. 

Having participated in her first full marathon at the age of 61, completing her first sprint triathlon shortly after her 64th birthday, celebrating her 65th birthday with a half marathon, Kathleen is working toward certification through eCornell University with the plant-based nutrition program and writing her next book, Discover the REAL Fountain of Youth; Plant Based Eating for Health, due for release in summer, 2021. Her book on plant-based eating shows it’s never too late to take control of one’s health.

Although Kathleen is recognized as a top leader in her field, this wasn’t always the case. Kathleen made choices in her teens and early twenties that took her from a comfortable middle-class upbringing to a life of homelessness and being unemployable. 

Kathleen Gage rose above seemingly insurmountable odds of ending up on the streets in her twenties to become an award-winning business owner, bestselling author, Internet sales and marketing trainer, and highly sought-after keynote speaker. 

Outside of business, her passions reside in raising awareness about the power behind a plant based life-style as it relates to health, compassion for animals, and the environment. 

She resides in a rural community in central Oregon that boasts the fact there is not even one stoplight in town.

3. One of the keys to becoming rich is to think big, because when you do, you exceed your expectations.

The three-part series on taking decisive steps to get rich in your 20s, to become rich in your 30s is going to get your attention. What this provides to listeners is a fundamental principle when it comes to  becoming rich and it's this, the sooner you start the quicker you will begin achieving your desired money goals.

Financial Coach Paul Lawrence Vann touched on the following five (5) steps during this episode: 

1. Own your own business because it pays to be operating in your passion field and yes it takes hard work, but the rewards outweigh the risk.
2. Plan for the long run. In the early stages of building up your savings, and emergency accounts you will begin to see progress. While employed for someone else, simply request to be added to a retirement plan, 401K, and or Roth IRA and it will result in tax-free investment, this can result in a quick accumulation on your investment.
3. It goes without saying that if you're to become rich, you will have to take some risk in life. The following quote comes to mind, "The greater the risk, the greater the reward." Take a chance on yourself and over time it will reward you.
4. Put your financial plan on autopilot because it will result in one less thing you will have to think about. Automate your finances, register for a direct deposit bank account, savings, emergency funds, bill payments, to include your utilities, and more. Online banking works when you register for autopilot.
5. Lastly, an accelerator that will help you become rich is to find a wonderful mentor. A mentor has been where you're trying to get, thus their knowledge can save you time and money. Search wisely because you don't want to be working with a mentor that holds you back.

Paul Lawrence Vann interviews Melissa Van Nest, she provides expertise and knowledge about mental health in pandemic times and beyond. In 2000 she obtained her Master's Degree in Social Work in order to educate and facilitate solutions for people with those very problems she reported on, while still building the human connections that drew her to journalism. 

With a love for learning about other cultures through friendships made in school, through colleagues and travels, Melissa moved to the Southern Hemisphere in 2016 and now resides in Quito, Ecuador, where she continues as a therapist in the mental health community, as well as enjoys as a hobby teaching storytelling in English, as a way to give back to the people in the country she resides in. 

During over 85 days of a mandatory quarantine due to the Covid pandemic, Melissa realized there was a forgotten population, The elderly and disabled were forgotten, and using her background working in nursing homes and firsthand experience and knowledge about assisted living facilities, recognized the need for domiciliary workers and family members to learn how to care for their elders and the disabled with compassion and safety, while taking into account the quality of life and identity of an elderly or disabled person and she embarked on a mission to help people of all socioeconomic classes with the spirit of the highest form of love and giving, agape. 

Melissa is in the final stages of creating her company AGAPE SAS Para Adultos Mayores y Discapacitado providing on-line courses and safe closed groups for geriatrics, disabled, family members, and caretakers with topics ranging from when and how to discuss finances and end of life wishes, maintaining purpose and self-identity as the body physically weakens or becoming the role of caretaker, and an outlet to discuss privately in small groups the taboo subjects of frustrations and resentments that come as family members age, along with understanding and processing the stages of grief while a person is still living, in addition to in-home care and group activities.  

As in most countries, particularly South America, only a select few can afford in-home care from nurses or aids, but with the belief that providing tools to empower people to do better on their own the most ethical and best practice, Melissa's on-line courses and groups provided through AGAPE SAS give so many more people an opportunity to care for this vulnerable and forgotten population as well as themselves with higher knowledge improved care and self-love.
