A Tale of a Pettijohn

Signal Fire Media — Tue, 21 Mar 2023 05:00:00 -0400

In this episode, we finally get to hear the true life story of Brandon Pettijohn, Esq. He shares with us his marine corps career, wherein Brandon literally got a taste of everything from sea service deployment life, firefights in Sangin, and being a straight up beast on the marine corps wrestling team. Matt fails to appropriately define the genX term of the day. The conversation's filled with good looking men, gasping laughs, three different flavors of Bang energy drinks, and reasons why Rob is the prettiest man in the room. Rob and Matt also share how the very first Patriot Franchise Expo went, and why they're stoked for the one's yet to come. Oh yeah, and Matt really super hates it when marines put Combat Action Ribbon (CAR) stickers on their cars. So smoke 'em if you got' em, and hang out for a while with the SF boys!

Attention on deck!

Signal Fire Media — Tue, 07 Mar 2023 05:00:00 -0400

The Signal Fire boys are left hand-left knee, right hand-right knee as they host the first general on the show. (JK about sitting at attention) Retired Army Brigadier General Rob Cooley, and UNCW's Director of Military Affairs Bill Kawczynski share their vision for building the nation's first

Veterans Resilience Project (VRP) right here in the greater Cape Fear Region. We discuss how there are so many veteran service organizations out there, yet many of them are siloed, causing the impact of each organization to be fragmented. Through artificial intelligence and ingenuitive design, the VRP will be a clearing house of resources in our region to support veterans and their families that have transitioned or are transitioning back to the civilian side. This concept is the first of its kind and it'll be a game-changer on so many levels for our nation's warfighters. Oh yes and how could I forget?! Matt goes 2/2 on his gen Z translate challenge. So come, strengthen your nation today and give this latest episode a warm ear.

Outta pocket!

Signal Fire Media — Tue, 28 Feb 2023 00:15:00 -0400

Rob, Matt and Brandon dive right into this week's episode with the banter that has come to identify the culture at Signal Fire. Rob starts off with throwing Matt a slider ball on a particular saying that gen z'ers are using. The team explores the nuances of networking and what they feel are the best models to grow one's professional network. Brandon shares his personal insight on veteran disability ratings, and why ALL qualifying vets should pursue it. Looking at the topic through their lenses will broaden your approach to the veteran's disability program. The boys wrap up the convo with some civil discourse on tipping, so see who you agree with most! This episode will fill your tank with laughs and love for the SFR podcast. So come, sit, and listen to have your minds blown and your guitars shattered

Yay!

The Chief Kief paid us a visit!

Signal Fire Media — Mon, 07 Mar 2022 00:15:00 -0400

But don't be confused with the herbal kind:) Author and Honor Foundation coach and faculty member William "Bill" Keiffer joins the Signal Fire team for the second episode of season two, where he shares how his transition struggle ultimately evolved into an invaluable asset to current transitioning veterans.

Bill's a former Army logistics officer who served active duty for 12 years. Around his twelfth year of service, he was confronted with a divorce and suddenly became responsible as a single father of three. Bill shares his amazing experiences, trials, and hurdles, that yielded the insight and wisdom he shares with many today.

A few simple thoughts that helped Bill share his insight:

-Know who you are and what you bring to the party.

-Know how YOU define success.

-And come to know the environment you're transitioning to.

A few other fun nuggets we learned about Tony Packo's Pickles and Peppers, and why beer is the e-tool of humanity.

This is a stellar convo from start to finish.

We hope you enjoy it!

Life For Pot, The Beth Curtis Interview: Part Two

Beth Curtis started Life For Pot, a foundation to grant clemency to those incarcerated for non-violent cannabis charges. Her story is one about love and justice. Her brother, John Knock was convicted to a life sentence in which Beth spent decades trying to free him of injustice and was successful after John had spent nearly 25 years in prison for a crime he did not commit.

Beth Curtis, Peter Maguire, Paul Free (who also faced life in prison until his release thanks to Beth) and Rob have a long conversation about the history of the war on drugs and how hypocritical the marijuana industry became in only a matter of decades. Beth is a hero and has saved the lives of so many innocent prisoners and her story is nothing short of incredible.
