Marine Corps veteran Jerry Shaffer, founder of the Red Star Foundation, joins us for a powerful, deeply human conversation about remembrance, stigma, and actionable hope. Jerry lays out the hard numbers behind the veteran suicide crisis—not as statistics, but as stories of lives cut short and families forever changed. He introduces the Red Star banner and lapel pin, symbols that honor those lost to suicide while sparking the honest conversations that can prevent the next tragedy. We also hear how the Foundation’s Red Star Voices program literally saved a young airman’s life—proof that connection and storytelling can be life-saving interventions. You’ll get an inside look at the Foundation’s growing impact, including collaborations with Gary Sinise & the Lieutenant Dan Band and potential projects with Orange County Choppers—partnerships designed to scale awareness and reach more veterans where they are. Most importantly, Jerry shares practical ways you can help right now—from volunteering and donating to simply checking in and sharing resources like 988 (press 1 for Veterans).

]]> 2532 yes Ep: 353 - Losing Game: How Wars Are Lost and Veterans Pay the Price https://www.heroesmediagroup.com/shows/the-decision-hour/ In this compelling episode of "The Decision Hour," host Adam Bird sits down with Eric Hommel, a retired Lieutenant Colonel whose extensive military career offers a unique perspective on the intricacies of service across different branches. Eric's journey is a fascinating one, beginning as a Navy submariner before transitioning to an Air Force officer, providing him with a broad view of military operations and leadership dynamics. Eric's time in Afghanistan is a focal point of the discussion, where he shares vivid accounts of the challenges faced on the ground. He recounts the complexities of navigating the rugged Afghan terrain, the cultural nuances that often went unnoticed by higher command, and the day-to-day realities of engaging with local communities. These experiences underscore the importance of cultural sensitivity and the need for a deep understanding of the local context to achieve mission success. One poignant example Eric shares is the difficulty in establishing trust with Afghan villagers, a crucial element for gathering intelligence and ensuring the safety of troops. He describes efforts to build relationships through small gestures, such as sharing meals and participating in local customs, which often proved more effective than traditional military strategies. Eric also reflects on the strategic challenges faced during his deployments, particularly the disconnect between military leadership and the realities on the ground. He highlights instances where decisions made at higher levels failed to consider the nuanced and rapidly changing conditions in Afghanistan, leading to operational setbacks and increased risks for soldiers. His book, "The Losing Game: How to Lose A War and Fail Veterans" serves as a critical examination of these military failures, emphasizing the need for leaders to understand the 'why' behind their missions. Eric argues that this understanding is not only vital for mission success but also plays a significant role in the rehabilitation of veterans, who often struggle to reconcile their experiences with the broader objectives of their service. Throughout the episode, Eric's personal anecdotes and reflective analysis provide listeners with a deeper understanding of the systemic issues within military strategy and the importance of adapting to the cultural and political landscapes of conflict zones. He discusses the impact of political decisions on military operations, illustrating how these choices can complicate efforts on the ground and affect the morale of those serving. Join us for this thought-provoking exploration of military leadership, the lessons learned from decades of service, and the enduring spirit of those who serve. This episode promises to offer valuable insights into the challenges faced by our military and the path forward in addressing these complex issues.

Beth, a devoted military wife of nearly 27 years, has weathered the storms of loneliness, frequent moves, and the unique challenges that come with loving someone in uniform. In our conversation, we unpack how Beth transformed her initial resentment toward the military into a powerful mission of faith and community-building. Alongside her husband, she embraced the calling to support and guide other military couples through the same trials they once faced. After realizing the significant role her faith played in reshaping her life and marriage, Beth committed to leading small group ministries and retreats, aiming to strengthen other military families with the same guiding principles that salvaged her own. As they navigated the massive transition to post-military life, Beth and her husband decided to extend their service, dedicating five more years to active duty, savoring the fulfillment of influencing others to trust in God through their service. Now, working full-time with Crew Military in Colorado Springs, they continue to touch lives on bases across the nation. Beth also relates her personal struggles, from grappling with the idea of leaving her marriage to finding parallels in her life with the biblical story of Sarah. Her journey led her to author "Another Move, God: 30 Encouragements for Embracing Your Life as a Military Wife," a reflection of her experiences bolstered by scripture.

]]> 2112 Ep: 332 - The True Path to Amazon Success https://www.heroesmediagroup.com/shows/the-decision-hour/ We're unraveling the complexities of e-commerce with a very special guest, Lesley Hensel, a business powerhouse who co-founded River Bend Consulting. Lesley isn't just an entrepreneur; she's an inspiration — balancing business acumen while parenting a son with significant learning challenges, showing us that perseverance and dedication indeed pave the road to success. In this episode, we'll dissect the vast world of Amazon selling, shattering myths, and setting the record straight on scams you should sidestep—like those flashy Lamborghini videos on YouTube. Lesley's keen eye helps us navigate the maze of online retail, as we discuss the nuts and bolts of becoming a third-party seller on Amazon. With almost two-thirds of products on Amazon sold by small businesses like hers, Lesley underscores the importance of building a business that aligns with personal goals like funding your children's education or planning for retirement, not just chasing luxury items. But how does one start? Well, Lesley's book, "The Amazon Incubator," published by Simon and Schuster, is the blueprint that could transform goals into reality. It's tailor-made for the modern seller, dealing with issues from the mandatory verification process to the referral fees that come with each sale. Also, we dive into how Lesley turned challenges into automation, dealing with ordering and inventory like a pro. Together, we'll explore her belief in the burgeoning potential of online retail, especially with Amazon's backing of third-party sellers, and how to avoid common pitfalls like misleading reviews. Moreover, we touch on personal stories that resonate with us all, like Lesley's courageous decision-making in treating her son's cancer, which mirrors the bravery needed in business ventures. So, gear up for a session that's as much about the heart as it is about commerce. It's time to make that Decision Hour, and take charge of your goals with the wisdom only Lesley Hensel can offer. Lesley, thank you for joining us, and to our listeners out there, get ready to be empowered with knowledge, right here, on The Decision Hour.

Join us as we explore the rise of cancel culture and its impact on our society. In a world where smartphones have given everyone a platform to capture and share content, cancel culture has become a buzzword that elicits both concern and controversy. Evan raises important questions about the consequences of this phenomenon, particularly when it comes to online criticism and the swift judgment of individuals. Should cancel culture dictate our lives? Do we have the right to hold and express our opinions without fear of being targeted or "canceled" by online mobs? Throughout our conversation, Evan shares his insights and experiences, shedding light on how cancel culture can affect everyday people, small businesses, and even employees of larger organizations. From negative online reviews to more serious incidents like murder-suicides, his team at Red Banyan has handled a wide range of situations with unique perspectives on crisis management. Evan's latest book, "The Cancel Culture Curse," delves deep into the complexities and consequences of cancel culture. He argues that cancel culture is fundamentally unamerican, contradicting the principles of due process, free speech, and public debate. But what led to the rise of cancel culture? Is it a product of excessive social media usage, increased political polarization, or a combination of both? Evan shares his thoughts on these crucial aspects. Join us as we explore the nuances of cancel culture, discuss the impact it has on our society, and contemplate how we can navigate this new digital landscape without sacrificing our freedom of expression.

]]> 2111 Ep: 321 - The Battleground Within: How Wild Ops Challenges Combat Veterans to Break Free https://www.heroesmediagroup.com/shows/the-decision-hour/ On this episode of The Decision Hour, our guest Jeff Morris delves into the topic of combat veterans and the challenges they face when seeking help. Jeff discusses the program he started called Wild Ops, which aims to provide support and opportunities for combat veterans to overcome their struggles. The program is not for veterans who simply want to help others or enjoy recreational activities, but rather for those who are ready to put in the effort to overcome the issues that are holding them back. Jeff invites potential applicants to consider two critical questions before accepting an invitation to join Wild Ops: Can they convince him they need help, and are they truly ready to do the work required? Jeff emphasizes the importance of connecting veterans with other combat veterans or someone close to them who can understand and communicate effectively. This connection, along with the challenging experiences provided by Wild Ops, helps draw veterans out of isolation and into a supportive community. In addition to the profound impact of the program, Jeff shares some of the key values and principles that guide Wild Ops. The program aims to call forth the warrior spirit within the veterans, challenging them rather than coddling them. The mission statement of Wild Ops, "get free or die," was written by combat veterans themselves, reflecting their determination to overcome their struggles.  Jeff also emphasizes the importance of confidentiality and trust within the program. Through a strict "vault" principle, everything shared during the program remains confidential and never leaves the group. This builds trust and creates a safe environment where participants can open up and address tough issues. Throughout the episode, Jeff provides insights into the challenges facing combat veterans and the unique approach taken by Wild Ops to support them. Listeners are encouraged to visit the Wild Ops website, call their 800 number, or apply online to learn more about the program and how they can support this mission.

Growing up in Camden, NY, Ed raced motocross for many years until graduating from high school, and then graduated from Alfred State College with a degree in business management. In 1990 he married his childhood sweetheart Kelli and in 2022 they celebrated 32 years of marriage, they have 3 children and 4 grandchildren.

With a background in government contracting and Health and Life insurance, Ed eventually owned multiple firms while serving faithfully as a youth pastor and worship leader at Abundant Life Church in Camden, NY. He even made time to serve and chair the FCA board of directors for Central NY! 

Starting in 2012, Ed served on the FCA board of directors in Central NY for three years. In 2014, he started the first FCA Motocross team in the Northeast, and organized the first training camp in 2015. The camp has grown into a vibrant ministry with over 250 people now attending the FCA Motocross & Off-Road training & ministry camp!

Ed has been involved with FCA for over 10 years and now serves full time as an Area Director with two specific areas of focus, Northeast FCA Outdoors Director and NY FCA Motocross & Off-Road Director, two of Stratton’s lifetime passions!

“Sports is a passion shared by many. To bring sports and ministry together through the FCA platform gives us an opportunity to share the message of Jesus and the cross where – in most cases – churches are not allowed. This is working and that is exciting!” says Stratton. “Serving in ministry is my passion and introducing people to Jesus using the platform of sports is a double blessing.”

In other words, they exist in nature.  What does that mean?  We explain it.

Watching John work with a horse is like watching poetry in motion, smooth and relaxing.  He explains how to gain trust with the horse by taking the lead and how does one do this? “Who moves whose feet” “So, if I command and start directing that horse to move his feet and where he moves his feet, then he goes, Okay, you understand my language.” We wrap up the show with John sharing his "Decision Hour" that involves a judge’s gavel. If you want to learn more about horses, Horsemanship then please do yourself a favor and contact John on Facebook Host Note:Personal Experience – I’ve had the opportunity to be taught by John now for a few weeks. This experience is one I most certainly never thought I would ever experience. It’s been nothing short of amazing and it's one that I am forever grateful. Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s a great cause and Marie is doing wonderful work.

How much do YOU really know about, UAV’s, drones, Humanoids etc? Did you know that Russia has already sent a humanoid robot to space? There are so many things going on in the world right now with autonomous systems and the United States is nowhere near the top of it.  Why is this all important?  Take a listen as Dr. Mumm explains. Here is a clip from the show… Rwanda, Africa, and it's actually operating extremely well. They have some very interesting aircraft they're flying. They're including some aircrafts that basically fly without human intervention. So they end up getting their instructions on the packages they deliver. So they're actually delivering things like plasma and other things. Interestingly enough, one of the things that they're finding that they need to be able to deliver is international paperwork. So if you have if you have bills of lading, or if you have international paperwork, a lot of that still actually asked to have a physical wet signature on it, well, if you're going to send a courier from your law office, on you know, some vehicle and try to send them out to the ship. In order to move that paperwork, when you're dealing in a country that may not be quite secure, such as Rwanda, Africa, your courier will probably lose his little moped along the way.

How much do YOU really know about, UAV’s, drones, Humanoids etc? Did you know that Russia has already sent a humanoid robot to space? There are so many things going on in the world right now with autonomous systems and the United States is nowhere near the top of it.  Why is this all important?  Take a listen as Dr. Mumm explains. Here is a clip from the show… Rwanda, Africa, and it's actually operating extremely well. They have some very interesting aircraft they're flying. They're including some aircrafts that basically fly without human intervention. So they end up getting their instructions on the packages they deliver. So they're actually delivering things like plasma and other things. Interestingly enough, one of the things that they're finding that they need to be able to deliver is international paperwork. So if you have if you have bills of lading, or if you have international paperwork, a lot of that still actually asked to have a physical wet signature on it, well, if you're going to send a courier from your law office, on you know, some vehicle and try to send them out to the ship. In order to move that paperwork, when you're dealing in a country that may not be quite secure, such as Rwanda, Africa, your courier will probably lose his little moped along the way.

So it was a necessity it was definitely a necessity for mental health wise as well. And then, as I, got more into it, I just started talking to more women, it just seems it occurred to me that not everybody understands how beneficial it can be. And a lot of people operate under the misconception that if you're going to be in shape, if you're going to be into fitness, it has to be your life. And I remember I was listening to this one trainer say something to the effect of, um, you know, if you if you don't make it, your number one priority, fitness is not your number one priority and your number one thing, then you're not going to ever reach your goals.
