HERE ARE SOME OF THE QUESTIONS AND POINTSRAISED DURING THIS PODCAST:

This episode I’d like to dedicate to a special friendthat made an impact on me while I was serving inthe Marine Corps, Angie Kardashian, who owned

an Italian restaurant in Tustin, CA. She would reachout to Marines during the Thanksgiving holidays to

come eat at her restaurant, for free.

Her kindness, high sense of community service andcommitment to reaching out to Marines during a lonelypart of the year is an act of duty-to-serve-others I willnever forget. That’s what Entrepreneurs, and in thiscase, vetrepreneurs do! It was those seeds ofgreatness that I picked up when I decided tocomplete my last enlistment in the Marine Corps andchoose the path of entrepreneurship, officiallybecome a “Vetrepreneur” in the financial servicesindustry. And my life has never been the same, in agreat way, ever since!

Semper Fi,Angie!

PS. I cal led out one of the MasterSergeants who to ld me, “I couldn’tdo i t” . Would you bel ieve I want totake him out to dinner? L isten in andsee what e lse he to ld me…
