This episode is packed with nuggets from his personal journey that will absolutely bring value to your own journey. You will learn how Fred saw a need in his community to change veterans lives by helping start The Veterans Trust. They then used that platform to help change education for our community by giving us a one stop shop kind of deal using their access, placement, completion model. We go over how they helped the Mission United program become what it is today operating in 21 separate counties with forty to fifty more being created. We learn how they started with two people being invited to a race track to having a national presence throughout multiple different tracks into getting veterans taught to drive race cars.  We then learn about how, with the mentorship of a top Virgin (Virgin as in Richard Branson’s Virgin you sick f***s) executive he helped start a early stage investment company focused on vets. They actually require one of the founders or top management spots be a veteran. We go over what exactly they look for when choosing what company each month gets their funding and then the incubation help afterwards. This will help anyone going through any stage in their own startups who think they might need some sort of funding in the future (because who doesn’t eventually need funding, right?).   If you’re in the process of building a business, have thought about it, or already have built one you should definitely check this one out. There are so many little nuances that I haven’t thought about on my own journey I am sure it will benefit and bring value to you as well. Please check out their site if you think your business is ready to be funded or to see what you have left to work on.  You can reach out to them and what their doing by checking these out.   The Veterans Trust - www.theveteranstrust.org 	IG/FB - @theveteranstrust The Bricks – brickcapital.co  	IG/FB- @brick_capital  Finally, Fred’s 3 pieces of advice to someone struggling in their own journey. 1.	Find a mentor – he can’t stress this enough 2.	Find a social network/group to engage with  a.	Veteran(or first responder of course) or civilian – shooting club or book club it doesn’t matter what 3.	Find a way to express yourself 4.	Don’t be afraid to ask for help

Take your health (and your life) into your own hands with Fred Roger pt. 2

Have you ever wondered what you should do after you get that magical DD 214? Have you ever just been floating by while burning through your GI bill? Today we had a very special guest on with us, who can give you his story which will hopefully give you some ideas on what to make with your story. His name is Fred Rodger. He is a marine combat veteran. After getting out he has gotten his MBA, help create and open dozens of franchises, started a nonprofit, opened his own consulting firm, and currently is the director of marketing and outreach for a early stage investment company called the Bricks. There was so much good information given out in this, we’ve had to split our conversation into 2 parts just so we didn’t miss anything.   By a trick of fate, we unfortunately lost the first five minutes of this conversation due to technical problems, but don’t worry it only gets better. In part one (where the recording starts here at least) we go over some things to look for when picking a school after the military, how to get a more advanced internship (unless of course you really like to get coffee and make copies all day), and even what to look for when you are researching a company. We then find out how someone can move from the normal MBA path to start working with franchises fairly quickly.  “Take your health into your own hands”  We talk about challenges he struggled through when getting out and until he worked through them and to the incident that led him to realize he needed help.  Meds have a time and place in our lives, but as you know and Fred points out, there is a real downsize that causes many of us to avoid them at all costs. There are so many different services out there that you can utilize that I was unaware of. •	Veterans Choice Program - www.va.gov/COMMUNITYCARE/programs/veterans/VCP/index.asp •	Vet Centers - www.vetcenter.va.gov •	Local Outreach Facilities  •	Give an Hour - www.giveanhour.org  o	An amazing organization Fred discusses where mental health professionals from around the country volunteer their time every week through many different mediums to vets and first responders that need it. You are able to vet your provider to make sure you get the right person who has the right background (PTSD, sexual trauma, ect..). Please check this out, it is FREE to you.  Please check out part 2 in episode 3 to hear the rest of the story! Thank you for checking us out.   		YOU matter, YOU’VE got this, and YOU’RE not alone!
