Speaker 2: Do you give your speech? You go? You know, I
Speaker 2: thank our engineer, Dan, I want to thank you know,
Speaker 2: Karen from Accounting, Terry Miners, Tony Cruz, everybody, but you
Speaker 2: leave me out.
Speaker 1: I feel bad about it.
Speaker 2: And then they read your little you know, your stupid
Speaker 2: little biography, your dumb ass biography.
Speaker 1: I accomplished this. Well.
Speaker 2: First, what has w q mf ever been a steam
Speaker 2: radio station?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 2: Did did you write this crap? But here's where I'm
Speaker 2: getting that. He just says, I used to listen to
Speaker 2: you and Tony while I was growing up on one
Speaker 2: hundred point five of Fox. Why was the Morning Movement
Speaker 2: our morning show not listed on your on your criteria?
Speaker 2: Why would you? Why would you be? Our slug line?
Speaker 2: Was the Morning Movement make us number one when you're
Speaker 2: going number two? It's true, it was like it was
Speaker 2: like a like Walter Cronkitt and Dan.
Speaker 1: Rather, it's a part of my career that I'd rather forget.
Speaker 2: Well, Uh, you got a lot last night during your
Speaker 2: acceptance speech.
Speaker 1: And I'm sorry I left you out. You and Dave.
Speaker 1: I left you in Dave out and and Terry Miners
Speaker 1: called me earlier that day and said, dude, take notes,
Speaker 1: because you're gonna forget the most important people in your life.
Speaker 2: And I forgot almost almost as if he were embarrassed
Speaker 2: for some reason. But I digress. Enough about your shortcomings and.
Speaker 1: Your stupid dishy highway for USA.
Speaker 2: Care, your stupid falsey heart.
Speaker 1: I don't know if people knew that that I had
Speaker 1: a heart attack. Did they not know that almost died? Yeah,
Speaker 1: your last thoughts were saved the show, Dwight. I love you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was watching you downstage last night. Anyway, USA Cares.
Speaker 2: Listen to this, man, USA Cares. They have a one
Speaker 2: hundred percent rating on Charitynavigator. That's impossible. Only three percent
Speaker 2: of the charities on Charity Navigator can get that have
Speaker 2: gotten that high of a rating. And with USA Cares, man,
Speaker 2: it's year after year after year. If you're looking for
Speaker 2: in an organization to donate to this holiday season, are
Speaker 2: men and women to serve they need them, and this
Speaker 2: is your organization.
Speaker 1: Okay, we talked about the stop gap between if you know,
Speaker 1: we don't want evictions. We want you know, car payments, food,
Speaker 1: you know, keep the electric on. But then it goes
Speaker 1: way farther than that. Todd is with us. Todd, how
Speaker 1: are you.
Speaker 3: Good morning, gentlemen.
Speaker 1: We just talked about what you do, which is career skills,
Speaker 1: So so tell me what you do with USA CARES.
Speaker 1: It's fascinating.
Speaker 3: So with USA CARES, I am the career Skills manager.
Speaker 3: I work with service members exiting the military, so those
Speaker 3: retiring from the military as well as exiting after their term.
Speaker 3: After they've served their term up and so the Army
Speaker 3: allows you to participate in a fellowship just like a
Speaker 3: college student would up to one hundred and twenty days.
Speaker 3: We run a CSP program or Skills Career skills program
Speaker 3: out of Fort Knox and we partner with organizations small, medium,
Speaker 3: and large, and we try to take those skill sets
Speaker 3: of those service members and partner them in internships and
Speaker 3: ultimately we want those internships to lead to their second
Speaker 3: career because many many of these service members, the military
Speaker 3: is all they've known. They've never job interviewed before. And
Speaker 3: so I had a service member exiting wanted to become
Speaker 3: an electrician. I needed to find some electricians that were
Speaker 3: hiring that we wanted to do this, and so I
Speaker 3: called to a lot of electricians in the town area
Speaker 3: and came across Brian at gen Ray. We talked about
Speaker 3: the program. He said, let's talk about it. I want
Speaker 3: to interview the service member and ultimately we went with
Speaker 3: a program.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's say we have some corporate citizens or some
Speaker 2: industries listening right now and they say, you know what,
Speaker 2: we'd like to be a part of that. How they
Speaker 2: get in touch.
Speaker 3: With you, Todd? So for me, they just need to
Speaker 3: reach out to us at USA Care talk about the
Speaker 3: CSP program. Hey, we want to be part of your
Speaker 3: fellowship program. We have a lot of great organizations, General
Speaker 3: Electric Beam, I'm sorry, Centaury Global. Now, we have the
Speaker 3: distilleries that are looking at it. So we have a numerous,
Speaker 3: diverse group of industries that are looking to do that.
Speaker 3: But we need small medium in large. Right, we know
Speaker 3: where some of the workforces and this is a perfect everybody,
Speaker 3: look at somebody.
Speaker 1: This is a perfect marriage. And Brian, you're with gen Ray.
Speaker 1: Tell us about gen Ray first.
Speaker 4: So we're a family owned business in Elizabethtown, started in
Speaker 4: nineteen eighty three by my parents, and then they decided
Speaker 4: to retire. I bought it out in twenty one, so
Speaker 4: we're still small, family.
Speaker 1: Owned residential, commercial, commercial industrial. Both. Okay, guys, what do
Speaker 1: you do there?
Speaker 5: Electrical contract contract?
Speaker 1: So how did you marry with this?
Speaker 4: Got the unusual call from Todd and I had to
Speaker 4: get him to explain the program to me two or
Speaker 4: three times because they just SA and to.
Speaker 2: Good to be true to.
Speaker 4: Ask me to send to a person, a person who
Speaker 4: has a work history. They understand responsibility and uh and
Speaker 4: they want responsibility and I don't have to pay them
Speaker 4: and and.
Speaker 3: That really blew my mind.
Speaker 4: Well, they're still paid by the military for the number
Speaker 4: of weeks they're in this program.
Speaker 5: So uh he we we got it.
Speaker 4: We I interviewed Anthony, and uh, you know, this guy
Speaker 4: is almost my age. I'm forty six, he's early forties. Uh,
Speaker 4: comes in, sits down. I can tell he's a little nervous.
Speaker 4: You know, I know I know a little bit about
Speaker 4: his military service from talking to Todd, and and uh,
Speaker 4: five ten minutes break the ice, and he seems comfortable
Speaker 4: with me. Uh we're getting along well and and uh,
Speaker 4: you know, it seems like he's gonna be a great
Speaker 4: fit for the program. He just wants he wants to
Speaker 4: be an electrician. He thinks that's going to be interesting.
Speaker 4: So as as we're going through it, what we can
Speaker 4: offer and and uh in our expectations of employees. Uh,
Speaker 4: you know, towards the end, he tells me, he says, uh.
Speaker 4: He goes, Man, I I really appreciate you sitting down
Speaker 4: with me today. You know, I've been in the military
Speaker 4: twenty I think it's twenty three years. I joined right
Speaker 4: after high school. I'm getting out now. And I just
Speaker 4: didn't know if anybody would want me. Oh and God, and.
Speaker 2: Here's this big dude.
Speaker 4: He's he's full of muscle and sitting across the table
Speaker 4: from me, and I'm I'm like, man, I only known
Speaker 4: you fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2: I want to give you a hug.
Speaker 4: Right, So it's a lost and it's been it's been
Speaker 4: an incredible experience. One, get somebody who understands, you know
Speaker 4: what work responsibility is. You don't have to tell him everything. Yeah,
Speaker 4: And Two he wants to be here. He worked for
Speaker 4: eight weeks thirty two hours a week, and and nobody
Speaker 4: made him come to work.
Speaker 5: Wow, because he wants to be here.
Speaker 4: So just it's an incredible, incredible opportunity, and I'm thankful
Speaker 4: that USA Care is the one that they're helping veterans
Speaker 4: with programs like this. But from our standpoint as an employer,
Speaker 4: it's it's it's almost as if they're helping us as
Speaker 4: much as as they're helping the people that need it.
Speaker 1: When you contact people or people like is this a scam?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: Like it this sounds too good to be right, because Brian,
Speaker 1: he's right. We're all looking for these companies are all
Speaker 1: looking for good people. And now I had no offense
Speaker 1: to anybody out there, you won't show up, So they're
Speaker 1: not showing up anymore. Everybody deals with that. So when
Speaker 1: you're dealing with people that are like, is this a scam?
Speaker 1: What's going on? Well?
Speaker 3: If my sales pitch isn't working, when I tell them that, look,
Speaker 3: you do not have to pay. This is an intern
Speaker 3: paid internship that's unpaid. The military is still paying them,
Speaker 3: like there's no workers comp there's not like that's the
Speaker 3: military has them. They're like, wait, wait a second, what
Speaker 3: so I basically have them on an eight week interview?
Speaker 3: You're correct, you're going to have them for eight weeks.
Speaker 3: You can put them in the roles that you want
Speaker 3: them to be in when they're out of this internship.
Speaker 3: It's an eight week interview.
Speaker 2: What an incredible opportunity for a company out there to
Speaker 2: find a great, qualified, dedicated worker and see how they
Speaker 2: do for eight weeks on an internship.
Speaker 4: Well that was I was telling one of our vendors
Speaker 4: about this just a few days ago, about the whole
Speaker 4: program and how it worked out for us, and he said,
Speaker 4: this is awesome. You get to try him for eight
Speaker 4: You got to try this guy for eight weeks before
Speaker 4: you hired him. And I said, you know, I hadn't
Speaker 4: thought of it that way, and he kind of looked
Speaker 4: at me funny, and I said, well, I looked at
Speaker 4: it as though I got to give an opportunity for
Speaker 4: this individual to work eight weeks and what he hopes
Speaker 4: is going to be his next career before he had
Speaker 4: to make a mind up if he wanted to go
Speaker 4: to work force or not. And and you know, it's
Speaker 4: the same exact thing, but it's from the the opposite
Speaker 4: side of the spectrum.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 4: I was happy that when his eight weeks was up,
Speaker 4: he was like, yeah, I really like this, and I
Speaker 4: like working here, and I like working with the people.
Speaker 1: That I'm in and that's it is.
Speaker 3: It's uh, it was. It told him, just.
Speaker 2: I gotta chase the squirrel. Look at it, Todd, I'd
Speaker 2: like to have Todd is a neighbor. Look at the guy.
Speaker 2: He looks like Todd looks like the guy I could
Speaker 2: fix anything. You know what I'm saying, like my dishword,
Speaker 2: because I'm I'm as handy as nipples on a bull.
Speaker 2: But I can see Todd going, hey, caught my wife
Speaker 2: called Todd. Can you just seem walking down the driveway
Speaker 2: in his robe getting the paper morning?
Speaker 1: Todd?
Speaker 2: Look at the guy?
Speaker 1: How did you find you any USA cares?
Speaker 3: I was calling on trace. I was with another organization
Speaker 3: and I wanted him to become a member. And so
Speaker 3: at the end of the conversation, I said, well, how
Speaker 3: can I help you moving forward? And he's like, well,
Speaker 3: we have some positions open, and I said, tell me
Speaker 3: about the position you have opened. This was the position
Speaker 3: that he was looking to hire. Yeah, and I come
Speaker 3: from my father's a marine. My father in law is
Speaker 3: a combat veteran in the army as well. So I
Speaker 3: come from a family that's that served. Both grandfathers were
Speaker 3: in the military too. So look, I like helping people
Speaker 3: as you see, right, and we want to we want
Speaker 3: to give those opportunities to those service members because it's
Speaker 3: a second career. These when we say retire, everyone thinks
Speaker 3: sixty five. Yes, these are service members that are coming
Speaker 3: out in their early forties. They have another lifetime ahead
Speaker 3: of them, right, rightly, there's no question. And so that's
Speaker 3: the beauty of this program. And that's where we are
Speaker 3: one hundred percent open arms to talking to organizations that
Speaker 3: want to take part, because it's you're right, it's too
Speaker 3: good to be true. He's going to get a tax
Speaker 3: credit for hiring a veteran as well, right, So when
Speaker 3: you put the tax credit in with the money he
Speaker 3: saved an internship, it's a very big win win. And
Speaker 3: it's just it's empowering, right. We want to empower the employer.
Speaker 3: We want to empower the workforce as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just to reset where we are if you're just
Speaker 2: now tuning in, we are with USA Cares. It's one
Speaker 2: of mine and Tony's favorite organizations. They have a one
Speaker 2: hundred percent rating on Charity Navigator that is absolutely unheard of.
Speaker 2: It impossible to do. And right now we're talking about
Speaker 2: hire a veteran. How about an internship where you get
Speaker 2: paid while they intern and it's basically an eight week interview.
Speaker 2: Can you find out is this the right employee for me? Man?
Speaker 2: That's a win win todd.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 1: You can't pay enough for people to show up on time.
Speaker 2: No, I mean, it's just a career.
Speaker 1: Your early uh you know, and you know this. I
Speaker 1: have two of my friends have retired colonels and they
Speaker 1: had a hard time transitioning because people wouldn't you know,
Speaker 1: they don't answer emails, they don't. It's it's like they're
Speaker 1: just like the regular world is nuts, Like they don't
Speaker 1: get it because they and that's the value of that,
Speaker 1: and it's not so we talk about USA Cares and
Speaker 1: what they do and you think, oh, they're helping feed
Speaker 1: a family, but it splinters out to more than that,
Speaker 1: which is this, which is the real tangible hands on
Speaker 1: changing people's lives because they do you think, oh, well,
Speaker 1: he's a retired veteran, he's got his stuff together. No, man,
Speaker 1: they still need direction too, And and those got to
Speaker 1: be the satisfying when you interview those veterans right where
Speaker 1: you're like you're talking to him and you're like, I
Speaker 1: love this guy. He's got it together, but he needs direction.
Speaker 3: Well, and for me it's being you know, we do
Speaker 3: our due diligence. Brian and I talk more ultiple times
Speaker 3: making sure that was the right fit. Brian interview Anthony.
Speaker 3: So you're gonna interview these possible candidates before they're put
Speaker 3: into that role. And so you're right that the rewarding
Speaker 3: thing is making sure we're putting them into those internships
Speaker 3: where ultimately we want a job offer then, right, we
Speaker 3: just don't want an experience, right, we want a job
Speaker 3: offer then, and so we really do our due diligence
Speaker 3: on both sides.
Speaker 1: Do they go to USA cares dot org to get
Speaker 1: ahold of you? Yea? What do they click on?
Speaker 3: They can go to USA Cares and then it'll be
Speaker 3: under our programs and they'll talk career transition. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: so they can look that and they can also call
Speaker 3: and call the office number there and we can get
Speaker 3: that connected with us.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about it because right now we're talking with electrician.
Speaker 2: You know, you have a veteran with an internship.
Speaker 3: That you're more likely going to hire the guys. So
Speaker 3: he did.
Speaker 2: He started.
Speaker 5: He started about three or four weeks ago.
Speaker 2: So let me ask you this, then, Todd, Is there
Speaker 2: an industry? Is there a category right now that you
Speaker 2: are falling short of where maybe if there's a business
Speaker 2: z owner listening, I'm open to that. Is there a
Speaker 2: category in particular need that you're just opened all of them?
Speaker 3: I think we're really open to all of them. That
Speaker 3: CSP program is mainly designed for service members coming out
Speaker 3: of Fort Knox. It's to take part, you got to
Speaker 3: you have to be in a fifty mile radius of
Speaker 3: Fort Knox to be in this fellowship. But I work
Speaker 3: with service members that are exiting out of Fort Campbell
Speaker 3: right and they're coming back to back to Louisville, and
Speaker 3: they're like, hey, I need I need some assistance. So
Speaker 3: our job is to help veterans find jobs. It's part
Speaker 3: of the CSP program, is our role. But I also
Speaker 3: help veterans in Florida and Texas that reach out to
Speaker 3: us and say, hey, I saw where you do resume assistance.
Speaker 3: I'm struggling to find a job. I sit down with them,
Speaker 3: we do a resume review. We take the military jargon
Speaker 3: and turn it into civilian terms that an hr or
Speaker 3: or the wizard right that it didn't spit through can
Speaker 3: do it. But ultimately putting that resume in someone's hands
Speaker 3: and having conversation like this is the way we are
Speaker 3: really really successful.
Speaker 1: Todd, thank you for everything you do. Go to USA
Speaker 1: cares dot org, click on programs, drop down and you'll
Speaker 1: see it. Brian Family owned Operation Fantastic. You love that
Speaker 1: that it's you bought it from your parents, right, I
Speaker 1: mean that's uh.
