A return guest, Ron Steptoe knows that the military and the war can have both pride and pain.  His great (how many greats?) grandfather fought in the Revolutionary War as one of the African Americans to fight for colonial rights.  As a reward, he was given land, as were many of the Continental Army soldiers, and settled down.  But during the American Civil War, many blacks were suspicioned as being spies for the North, and Ron's relative's land was right on Confederate territory.  He was labeled a spy and beheaded in front of his family.  And at the end of the war, the North destroyed all records of any spies so no one would be targeted again, so Ron had no written record of his ancestor's fate for years.  That legacy is part of Ron's rise through West Point and the Army, to Warrior Centric Health.  In the healthcare industry, Ron turned his attention to the military healthcare situation, showing them as a population of veterans with specific needs.Veteran Founder Podcast with your host Josh Carter We record the Felony Inc Podcast inside NedSpace in the Bigfoot Podcast Studio in beautiful downtown Portland.Audio engineer, mixer and podcast editor is Allon BeausoleilShow logo was designed by Carolyn MainWebsite was designed by Cameron GrimesProduction assistant is Chelsea LancasterTheme music: Artist: Tipsy Track: Kadonka Album: Buzzz Courtesy of Ipecac Records10% of gross revenue at Startup Radio Network goes to support women entrepreneurs in developing countries thru kiva.org/lender/markgrimesListen to the Veteran Founder Podcast every Friday at 1:00pm pacific time on Startup Radio Network at startupradionetwork.com

#60: A Game-Changing Solution to Optimize Healthcare for Military Veterans with Ronald Steptoe, USMA '87

What a military story!  Ron Steptoe and his wife are both West Point grads and met there.  And here's the real story: 238 years of family military service to the US!  And it starts with his FIFTH great grandfather serving in the Revolutionary War, James Bowser was one of only 5,000 African Americans to fight in that war out of about 300,000 warriors.  He fought in the Battle of Yorktown and for that, received 200 acres of land.  There is pain associated with this story, though, so listen in for more of it.  Ron was then part of a launch of consumer drugs in the DC area and that exposure to healthcare was a natural path to Warrior Centric Health.  He recognized that the vast majority of veterans did not get treated by the VA because of the lack of resources and they and their families had to go to the private marketplace.  So coordinating those private resources to fill that gap became his mission.Veteran Founder Podcast with your hosts Josh Carter and Carmen NazarioWe record the Felony Inc Podcast inside NedSpace in the Bigfoot Podcast Studio in beautiful downtown Portland.Audio engineer, mixer and podcast editor is Allon BeausoleilShow logo was designed by Carolyn MainWebsite was designed by Cameron GrimesProduction assistant is Chelsea LancasterTheme music: Artist: Tipsy Track: Kadonka Album: Buzzz Courtesy of Ipecac Records10% of gross revenue at Startup Radio Network goes to support women entrepreneurs in developing countries thru kiva.org/lender/markgrimesListen to the Veteran Founder Podcast live on-air every Friday at 1:00pm pacific time on Startup Radio Network at startupradionetwork.com
