  • Ep. 48: Shannon Walker - Northwest Battle Buddies Non-Profit
    2024/11/01

    I talked with Shannon Walker, the CEO and Founder of Northwest Battle Buddies, about what led her to start a non-profit and what Northwest Battle Buddies does.

    The mission of Northwest Battle Buddies is to gift professionally trained service dogs to veterans battling with PTSD in order to help them regain their freedom and independence.

    The service dogs they train spend five or more months in training and then are matched with a Veteran handler for five more weeks of training and bonding. It is an amazing organization whose definition of success isn't related to profits but instead is measured by the number of Veterans they can help through the dogs they train.

  • Ep. 45: Cliff Sabo - Detachment Marianas "Micronesias Bomb Squad"
    2024/09/13

    EODCS(ret) Cliff Sabo had a Navy EOD career that only one dreams of. Deploying to Iraq, Afghanistan, and Bahrain where he disarmed IED's, supported special operations assault teams, led underwater mine countermeasures teams, and more. On shore duty, he was at Det Marianas where he spent his time defusing bombs on base, blowing up mines underwater, and doing range clearance operations on a small island in the Pacific. This episode shows the full range of what a Navy EOD Operators career can be; the reason we all joined.

  • Ep.44: Matt Wheeler - The Importance of Leaders Willing to Act
    2024/08/31

    Matt Wheeler and I sit down and talk about some serious topics surrounding leadership, mental health, and more. Matt doesn't shy away from discussing his exit from the military, a medical retirement after going down a path that any of us could easily find ourselves on.

    Due to some leaders who thought about the individual as a person that they genuinely care about and a lot of hard work done by himself, Matt is excelling at life. His mission now is to be a great father, husband, and friend.

    Take some time to listen to Matt, hear his story, and learn from the lessons he shares. ----------------------- EPISODE SPONSOR: ----------------------- Become a sponsor of the Podcast echooscardeltamk2@gmail.com --------------- SOCIAL MEDIA: Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/echo_oscar_delta/⁠ Linktree: https://linktr.ee/EchoOscarDelta Donate: ⁠https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=FXKKVEPDZSW7E⁠ Linkedin: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/jerron-clark-b7144599/⁠ Amazon Affiliate: https://amzn.to/4018uus⁠ ----------------- PODCAST LINKS: Spotify: ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/7syOy5nkVvozfYVhO0GaV9⁠ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLbV3wd_LX6E2DHWKhe-50Q Amazon Music: ⁠https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/4f39a29e-3801-443c-9380- 0fc7a51d0ab2/echo-oscar-delta⁠ Apple Podcast: ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/echo-oscar-delta/id1662351080⁠ Google Podcast: ⁠https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy9iZTk0NGQ3OC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw⁠ iHeartRadio: ⁠https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-echo-oscar-delta-106737255/⁠ Castbox: ⁠https://castbox.fm/channel/id5349816?utm_source=podcaster&utm_medium=dlink&utm_campaign=c_5349816&utm_content=Echo%20Oscar%20Delta-CastBox_FM&country=us⁠ -----------------
