New Podcast Episode 🎙️

Today’s episode was one of the most powerful, emotional, and meaningful conversations we’ve had.

We were honored to be joined by Savannah, who courageously shares her journey through unimaginable loss after losing her husband to su***de nearly one year ago. Her husband dedicated his life to serving others as both an Army soldier and a Paramedic, and Savannah opens up about the realities of grief, resilience, healing, and what life looks like after such a profound loss.

This conversation is raw, honest, and deeply moving. It shines a light on the impact su***de has on families, the importance of mental health, and the strength it takes to keep moving forward one day at a time.

We are incredibly grateful to Savannah for her vulnerability, courage, and willingness to share her story in hopes that it may help someone else feel less alone.

If you or someone you know is struggling, please remember that help is available and hope remains. Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is reach out and have a conversation.

Take some time to listen, reflect, and share this episode. Stories like Savannah’s matter.

Marine Corps League Pride and Purpose #1435 of Fort Wayne hosts a pancake breakfast open to the public on the third Saturday of every month from 8am-11am inside VFW Post 857.

$6 for adults and $4 for children.

Select from 2 pancakes with 2 sausage links, 2 blueberry pancakes with 2 sausage links, build your own omelet with 2 sausage links, or biscuits and gravy. All breakfasts include coffee and orange juice. We also have chocolate and white milk available. We average over 175 people every month for the best veteran organization breakfast in town.

Yes, we have seen some horrific s**t.
Yes, it’s incredibly difficult to handle.

However - how we process our trauma is up to us. You should not be constantly treating other people like garbage because of what you’ve dealt with.

Getting help is harder, but way better than taking our grief out on other people.

What a joy and a privilege this morning to be in Amsterdam sharing a stage with Do it Best CEO Dan Starr!

I interviewed Dan at the Global DIY Summit, as we shared the story of acquiring True Value and reinventing a legacy brand with an international audience representing over 50 countries!

I am so honored to be a part of this amazing company ... I have the best job!

Come eat next Monday!
