Fragout Podcast

Tim La Sage is back!! After 4+ years and 200 episodes he came back on and was the most honest and vulnerable I’ve ever seen him. We went 3.5 hours. He now holds the record for longest podcast. Tim spent most of his life preparing for war and fighting in combat, but now he’s trying to find his peace. This podcast was beautiful, honest, vulnerable, pure, and fun. The conversation we had today is what we all should strive to have with everyone we love. I’m proud of Tim.

I called my friends Curt and Jeff on this 3rd installment of the SITREP. Jeff and I talked about turkey hunting and how he is motivated to go out and try to get a Tom this year. I gave him some pointers on turkey hunting. Curt and I have an event on Feb 29th in Madison, WI. So we talked about that and his various other events he has going on.

Todd Smits and I met 7 years ago in Appleton. He was one of the many Homeless Veterans I’ve helped over the last 17+ years. Todd served 7 Years in the NAVY. He was in the Fleet for 2 years, and did 5 years in Naval Special Warfare as a SWCC Boat Operator. Todd shared his incredible life story loosing both parents at a young age, going to jail, deployments, transitioning, and so much more. Todd recently graduated from college and has turned his life around 180 degrees with a lot of hard work! I am so proud of him.
