I had the opportunity to sit down with K.L. Allen of Western Governors University (WGU) for a powerful conversation about education, service, and opportunity.
Growing up with parents who instilled the value of education and life skills, K.L. carried those lessons into his own military service, and now into his work supporting veterans and adult learners. He knows firsthand the challenges veterans face transitioning to civilian life, from navigating the GI Bill to finding flexible, affordable education that truly fits their needs.
In our conversation, K.L. shares how WGU’s competency-based model empowers veterans to succeed, and we explore the role of mentorship, affordable tuition, and personalized support in breaking generational cycles and transforming lives.
This Thursday, I’ll be at the WGU Elevating Impact Event in Boston to learn more about how WGU is building pathways for veterans to achieve their goals.

A big thank you to K.L. for joining me on this episode

This is a different kind of conversation. I talked with Sarah Johnson from Mission 22, a nonprofit dedicated to combating veteran su***de. Sarah shared the organization's origins, programs, and the importance of community support.
Our conversation centered around Mission 22’s recent struggle after their page. Their page was hacked, resulting in significant outreach and fundraising setbacks. Sarah details the challenges of getting help from Facebook and urges listeners to support their new verified page.
The discussion underscores the vital role and risks of social media for veteran nonprofits and calls for collective action to rebuild Mission 22’s online presence.
Go to Facebook and search for Mission 22 with the red logo. There is only one for Facebook. Right now, there are about 1,300 followers as of me writing this. Let’s get behind Mission 22 and help them grow again. Mark, do the best thing and fix this. You can have the ability to help out Mission 22 and other Veterans who count on this community.
Go to https://mission22.org/ to learn more and help out.
Thank you Sara, for talking with me.

This week on Oscar Mike Radio, I talk with Deborah Green, a female veteran, former military police officer, and law enforcement dispatcher with 28 years of experience.
She discusses her service in the California National Guard during the Rodney King riots and her experience as a dispatcher handling critical calls.
Topics covered include: the challenges dispatchers encounter, her experiences with PTSD, the importance of mental health support for first responders, and her efforts to promote awareness of public safety workers.
The episode provides insight into service on the front lines, both in uniform and in dispatch roles.

We’re closing in on Episode 500, and you won’t want to miss this milestone conversation! I sat down with Martin Shefsky, CEO of Empath Therapeutics, and ibogaine trailblazer Boaz Wachtell, strategic advisor at mPath Therapeutics.

Together, we unpacked how ibogaine a powerful, plant-based psychedelic, is making waves in PTSD and addiction treatment, especially for our veterans. We dove into Martin and Boaz’s personal journeys, the cutting edge science, and the hurdles of legality and access. You’ll also hear how mPath pioneering pharmaceutical grade ibogaine is pioneering, plus the latest advocacy, research updates, and upcoming treatment options on the horizon.

Boaz’s experience in the Israeli Defense Forces brings a compelling reminder: we owe it to our heroes to explore every path to healing.

This episode and the book “I Could Have Been One” are part history lessons and part biography, so my reading experience was different.
After reading “I Could Have Been One,” by Navy veteran and author Donald Jeffries, I had questions. These ranged from what our country was like to what it may become.
Jeffries shares his military experiences, reflections on socialism and communism, and his return to the Christian faith. The discussion covers historical events like the Maddox incident, the impact of political ideologies on society, and the suppression of religious groups in communist regimes.
Donald emphasizes the importance of understanding history to grasp current political climates. The episode aims to educate listeners on these complex topics through Jeffries' unique insights.
You can purchase “I Could Have Been One” from Amazon (https://a.co/d/6QzftbD).
Thank you for talking with me, Donald!
