I began the company to use my considerable experience both in the military and private sector to bridge the narrative gap between veterans and those who may not completely understand what our service means.The Not Your Average Joe Radio show began as a podcast March 2016 and has also aired at times on local AM radio. • Focus of show is to reach veterans where they are, give them hope that they are not alone, they are not broken and do not need to be fixed but they are forever changed and need to learn to lived with these changes. When they do learn to do this in a healthy, positive way, there is nothing they cannot accomplish.• Veterans share their personal stories of success and challenges, how they have overcome them, how values played a role and what advice they would give others going through challenging times• 30+ episodes have been completed. I have recorded, edited and produced all of them• With no outside resources, > 2,000 total downloads in year one, month 13 was the best month thus far with > 400 total downloads. On track to more than double downloads in year two.The podcast can be found here on iTunes: Tinyurl.com/zja6dzr or here: http://notyouraveragejoe.libsyn.com/
