Joe Sapien joins the #YearOfTheVet family to seemingly just have a good time on the mic! I brought Joe in to talk purely about veteran benefits and to break some myths, but before record was even pressed, Joe and I had already had about 20-30 minutes of quality off-air time that felt like two friends meeting up after a long weekend to fill each other in; and I feel that as you listen, you’ll begin to feel the same way.

Episode #20 features Marine Corps veteran Jimmy Guevara; but what it REALLY features is a mirror for a lot of the vets I’ve met.

Jimmy shares his story (that turns into a two-part episode)...

Kevin Boughan had hopes to serve honorably in the military the same as his brother, uncle, father, and father's father, only to have it end one day from a motorcycle accident that he would never remember, and one that turned him into 4-year old all over again as a 20 year old man. A vet that never made it, and an alcoholic who progressively crawls his way out of rock bottom, he still has time to find his way to celebrate the Chris...
