  • Combat veteran and TV celebrity JR Martinez host Medal of Honor podcast

    Combat veteran and TV celebrity JR Martinez host Medal of Honor podcast
    May 8 2026
    This week we share our conversation with Army combat veteran, and Purple Heart recipient turned TV celebrity JR Martinez, about the inspiring podcast, “Medal of Honor, Stories of Courage”. We begin with a closer look JR’s life, who went from surviving an IED attack and severe burns, to winning “Dancing with The Stars” and a role on the daytime TV drama “All My Children”. He shared incredible moments from his personal recovery, including how an off-the-cuff comment he made to comfort his mother, eventually became reality as he went from the hospital to Hollywood, eventually starring in national television shows. Martinez also describes the true heroes covered in the podcast. Like tales of a soldier’s valor during WWI and the teacher who saved a student’s life. The Medal of Honor podcast, from the acclaimed producers at Pushkin, gives all listeners inspiration during these challenging times. Martinez also reminds us that while we hold Medal of Honor recipients in the highest regard, we all have what it takes to be a hero to others.

  • White House Greenlights Psychedelics: SEAL veteran Marcus Capone shares what comes next on this long legal trip

    White House Greenlights Psychedelics: SEAL veteran Marcus Capone shares what comes next on this long legal trip
    Apr 24 2026
    This week we’re hearing about a major mental health milestone for psychedelic assisted therapy, after President Trump signed a landmark Executive Order demanding research on alternative treatments for severe mental illness. We broke it down with Marcus Capone, Navy SEAL veteran, Founder of Veterans Seeking Treatment Solutions and an elite combat vet whose life was saved after his experience with the psychedelic, Ibogaine. Capone describes how this Executive Order will impact the veteran community, the studies that show the efficacy of psychedelic medicine, and if the influence of Big Pharma will pervert research on plant-based medicines. We also take a closer look at what psychedelics qualify for the Executive Order’s “Breakthrough Therapy” designation, and if that will become a hurdle that disrupts veteran's ability to get access. Capone offers a glimpse at surprising connections between psychedelic medicine and God. And he shares the celebrity podcaster Joe Rogan played in getting President Trump to sign the Executive Order.

  • Remembering Pat Tillman: Ranger, NFL Star, and the legacy that continues to inspire

    Remembering Pat Tillman: Ranger, NFL Star, and the legacy that continues to inspire
    Apr 21 2026
    On Wednesday Apr 22 we remember the ultimate sacrifice of Army Ranger Pat Tillman who was killed during combat operations in Afghanistan. A unique Ranger in that he left a pro football career with The NFL’s Arizona Cardinals to join the Army shortly after 9/11, along with his brother. On the evening of April 22, 2004, Pat’s unit was ambushed as it traveled through the rugged, canyon terrain of eastern Afghanistan. His heroic efforts to provide cover for fellow soldiers led to his tragic death. Today we’re not only honoring his memory but also hearing how his incredible legacy lives on through the Pat Tillman Foundation. We’re joined by Tillman Foundation CEO Dr. Katherine Steele, and scholar recipient, Army veteran Maj. Bernard Toney Jr. Steele shares unique memories of Pat and how the Tillman Foundation grew from donations to his alma mater Arizona State University, to helping high caliber veteran students complete college and become the leaders of tomorrow. Army veteran Bernard Toney Jr. shares how he went from the Special Forces community (serving in the same area as Tillman, just 4 months after his death) to serving in The White House. And, how he hopes to make an impact in Public Health and improve the lives of Americans from all socio-economic backgrounds.
