She said she was going to show up for veterans. And then she did. On the podcast, Ella shared her plan for “Valentine’s for Veterans.” Not long after, she and her nonprofit Ella's Angels were in Glendale handing out Valentine’s bags to veterans... reminding them their service is never forgotten.…

She planned for 100 families... 237 showed up. Watching a young leader realize the real-world impact of service is something you don’t forget. Last week’s episode with Ella (nonprofit founder of Ella's Angels) is a reminder of what happens when you stop waiting, start small, and show up anyway. 🎧…

I see a lot of people selling programs to folks who aren’t ready. If you’re not screening people… If you’re not preparing them… If you’re just taking their money because they can pay...

If you’re a father, your leadership at home matters more than any title you’ll ever hold. In this week's episode, I asked Ella who her biggest inspiration was. She didn’t hesitate.... “My dad.” And when he joined us on camera, you could see the pride, the humility, and the example…

Access to…

Here’s something that doesn’t get said enough: Service isn’t only measured by deployments or combat zones. It’s measured in missed birthdays, missed holidays, and being where you had to be instead of where you wanted to be. If this resonates with you, I’d love to hear your perspective. 🎧 And…
