It's R.E.D. Friday! Please Remember Everyone Deployed! if you're wearing red today, shiw it off!! It's also the FriDALY BRIEFing with news you can use! Today, it's 3 minutes of HiHello, Inc. , the networking, digital business card and contact management app that I'll be using this "Legion Convention Season". Should you use it? Watch and find out.

The LEGION ACT authorized an extension of our current "wartime" status, mostly including the Cold War veterans who had been left out. That's been corrected. Was this correction needed? Do we need to reach out to them? Should they even listen to our pitch? I address all of this and more...in less than 10 minutes. #LetsGo #WarmWelcome

Our Veterans Service Organizations are great at connecting veterans to their earned benefits...at no cost, by the way. That's just one piece of the pie, though. Our Membership and Programs troubles are complex, and this episode focuses on just one "value add" we can apply to our membership that would benefit both the veteran and the organization. On top of that, it can complete the p...

I really don't like the current state of meetings in veteran organizations. I have ideas. I don't think they are controversial, other than it's not the way we've always done it. This is a problem that must be talked through and fixed. It's a pain point and I'm not the only one disliking meetings. This episode is less than 10 minutes, even though I could talk on this subject...

Sometimes a bill gets introduced in Congress that makes so much sense while also having no real chance of passing. This one could actually fix the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) - U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Find out what it is and why you should support it. Find the DAV legislative campaigns and this specific one here: https://dav.quorum.us/campaigns/ https://dav.quorum.us/campaign...

Personally, I've always had great medical care with the VA. My issues are in other areas. Now I'm giving free advice that no one asked me for. :D I am here to help save money, get infinite ROI and serve veterans better with 2 simple recommendations.

So, I've been thinking. There's been some over arching thing that's missing from out Veterans Service Organization. It boiled down to one keyword that I extended into an extended piece that was part rant and part illustrating what I meant. I know attention spans are short, but I think I might really be on to something to save our orgs as well as helping our veterans and our communities...

RED FriDALY BRIEFing I did a thing. Hint: I joined another Veteran Service Organization and here's why I think doing the same would benefit you and the community. I also belong to other veteran groups like Team Red, White & Blue and Team Rubicon , and I really want to start an LA chapter of the Veterans Beer Club . This video is specifically about the big legacy VSOs.

It's Vietnam War Veterans Day. Please join me in saying "Welcome Home" to all who deployed and "THANK YOU" to anyone who served honorable in that difficult time. All service matters!

There's a LOT going on here, I admit: 1. My 2nd year stroke survival anniversary. 2. Women's History on a personal level. 3. Giving props to the VA Hospital.

My video-podcast content has been gone for a minute, but I’m back. I had to get in a Black History Month episode, especially after I noticed the absence of one at my former gig. ☹ In these show notes, I’m going to link to the episodes we did over there the last few years.

I get a little worked up on this one. I was INSPIRED by an Optimism Company video. This is simple action over awareness that we need our  #suicideprevention  battle. Here is the YouTube link to the 1 minute video that I reference. (7) How To Be a Friend with Milk Bar founder Christina Tosi | A Bit of Optimism - YouTube

My schedule has been off with this dagumb ankle injury. This week will be chaotic as well as I go in for surgery on Thursday. This episode is advocating for advocacy for yourself, others & community. I use examples from my own experiences and the efforts of friends. I'm still out of the studio and this episode is in two locations: 1. The hospital, and 2. My couch.

So, the FriDALY BRIEFing wasn't on time. What had happened was...I had a day!!!

I am back after a little holiday season break. Yesterday, I spent a good deal of time branding, including making this little video clip that will serve as a trailer for the show and also be part of the intro. I ran it by a couple of confidants, took their feedback, and made some tweaks. Of course, it features the new logo with a "CLASSIFIED" stamp. For those who have tuned in, does this...

I'm wearing Grunt Style for my SUPERHERO Tee! :) It's appropriate for this episode! There was an event this past weekend in San Diego American Legion District 22. SAN DIEGO AMERICAN LEGION 'BE THE ONE' WEEKEND was a high-profile, suicide prevention awareness, membership, and community resource event. We need more of these across the country! The American Legion National Commander,...

VetIntel 05December2023 Show Notes: VetIntel: Sports * Army/Navy – Go Navy: Army-Navy Preview: Army Enters Rivalry Game Looking To Flip Script (nesn.com) This game feels like it  means so much more  for Army, though. There’s an obvious reason for that, as the Black Knights can take outright control of the  Commander In Chief’s Trophy  with a victory over the Middies. In entering this contest witho...
