Welcome to VET S.O.S., where we shine a spotlight on veteran entrepreneurs making a difference. In this gripping episode, we’re joined by the extraordinary Bryan Stern, Chairman and Founder of Grey Bull Rescue, a decorated U.S. Army and Navy combat veteran, 9/11 first responder, and Purple Heart recipient.
Bryan's story is nothing short of incredible. As a former intelligence officer with decades of experience, Bryan transitioned from military service to founding a nonprofit that specializes in rescuing Americans and allies from some of the most volatile and dangerous situations in the world. From the fall of Afghanistan in 2021 to the ongoing crisis in Ukraine, natural disasters in the U.S., and even rescuing hostages from Gaza, Bryan and his team at Grey Bull Rescue have conducted 728 high-stakes missions and saved over 7,000 lives worldwide.
🛠️ Key Topics Covered:
✔️ Military Transition: How Bryan landed on his feet after service, starting with consulting before founding Grey Bull Rescue.
✔️ Entrepreneurial Journey: The challenges of running a nonprofit in high-pressure environments and the importance of leadership, creativity, and resilience.
✔️ Rescue Operations: First-hand accounts of daring missions in places like Afghanistan, Sudan, Ukraine, and Haiti.
✔️ The Realities of Nonprofits: Bryan’s candid insights into the veteran nonprofit sector, the importance of loyalty, and the tough decisions leaders face.
✔️ Life-Saving Impact: How Grey Bull Rescue fills a critical gap where governments and other organizations cannot operate.
💡 About Grey Bull Rescue:
Grey Bull Rescue was founded during the fall of Afghanistan in 2021 when Bryan decided he could no longer stand by and watch people in need suffer. Since then, the organization has conducted life-saving missions in war zones, disaster areas, and other challenging environments where conventional help is unavailable. Grey Bull Rescue has set records, including two of the largest private rescues in U.S. history, saving 293 Americans from Israel in 2023 and 117 Americans from Afghanistan in 2021. Their motto? “We buy one-way tickets—we don’t come home until they come home.”
💡 Support Grey Bull Rescue:
Bryan and his team rely on donor funding to carry out their life-saving missions. Every contribution helps them save lives and bring Americans and allies to safety.
