Speaker 1: I love helping out the American veterans and well also
Speaker 1: enjoy getting folks on that are helping out the American veterans.
Speaker 1: And today we have Dan Claire from the DAV about
Speaker 1: the Patriot Boot Camp. Dan, welcome back to the program.
Speaker 1: It's good to hear from you today.
Speaker 3: Hey, good morning, Brian, thanks for having us back again.
Speaker 1: Always enjoy hearing from you, and I appreciate what you're
Speaker 1: doing for the American veterano. Remind my listeners about what
Speaker 1: you do at the DAV.
Speaker 3: Sure DAV is nationally headquartered right here in the Try say.
Speaker 3: We're an erlanger. We help veterans get their benefits, we
Speaker 3: help them connect with jobs, and this week we're going
Speaker 3: to be helping them become entrepreneurs.
Speaker 1: How do you go about doing that? I'm sorry, Dan,
Speaker 1: I lack the entrepreneurial spirit. I've been at W two
Speaker 1: employee my entire life, and I'm always in awe of
Speaker 1: folks who are able to They're like, you know what,
Speaker 1: I've got an idea, I'm going to start my own business,
Speaker 1: and they actually get it accomplished. I have the most
Speaker 1: utmost respect for those because I just I just don't
Speaker 1: have it in me. You know, I do too.
Speaker 3: It takes a lot of guts. I mean, just by definition,
Speaker 3: if you're an entrepreneur, you're doing something that is inherently risky.
Speaker 3: But these veterans are up to it, you know. And
Speaker 3: what we're trying to do is give them some of
Speaker 3: the building blocks. A lot of these folks during the
Speaker 3: prime years that they would have been entrepreneurs, they were
Speaker 3: serving their country. So we want to help them give
Speaker 3: them access to great instruction, mentors, and a network that's
Speaker 3: going to be there to help them as they pursue
Speaker 3: their ventures.
Speaker 1: Okay, so what's going to take place at the event
Speaker 1: and give us all the details on that.
Speaker 3: Sure, Well, we kick off on Wednesday morning, tomorrow morning,
Speaker 3: bright and early. We're going to start and we will
Speaker 3: actually have Robert Irvine from Food Networks Restaurant Impossible speaking
Speaker 3: and he'll be a mentor and participating in the event.
Speaker 3: We're really excited about that. We're going to talk about marketing, pitching, legal,
Speaker 3: We're going to have a big deployer legal shield presentation.
Speaker 3: We're going to talk about funding and wellness. All tomorrow
Speaker 3: the event keeps going, We're going to talk about government contracting,
Speaker 3: mergers and acquisitions. And then we're going to do something
Speaker 3: on Thursday that's really unique and that we really rely
Speaker 3: on the community here in northern Kentucky and Cincinnati on
Speaker 3: and that's mentor matching. Every one of these veterans is
Speaker 3: going to get matched up with local business leaders and
Speaker 3: some national business leaders who are traveling in. They're donating
Speaker 3: their time, about four hours of their time to meet
Speaker 3: with eight veterans and help them, you know, just walk
Speaker 3: through what they're going through and maybe help some of
Speaker 3: these veterans avoid some of the mistakes that those CEOs
Speaker 3: that those legal folks have seen happen to other people
Speaker 3: or happen to themselves over the years.
Speaker 1: Well, that's the value of having people that have been
Speaker 1: down that road don't make the mistakes that they made.
Speaker 1: They went through it and had to get themselves out
Speaker 1: of the challenges, and so they have great ways of explaining, oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, don't do this because this is going
Speaker 1: to happen to you. That's valuable real life experience. Is
Speaker 1: this taking place at a venue.
Speaker 3: It's actually at dav's national headquarters here Hurling are off
Speaker 3: Doulwick Drive. So we're hosting it here again and we'll
Speaker 3: be back in October for another event. We got the space,
Speaker 3: we got the facility, and we might as well use
Speaker 3: it to make sure that we're taking care of these
Speaker 3: veterans here.
Speaker 1: Oh amen to that. Now, I understand you've got a
Speaker 1: bit of a shark tank competition going on.
Speaker 3: There, absolutely ten thousand dollars in nondoluted capital to the winner.
Speaker 3: We're going to out of our cohort. We're going to
Speaker 3: have about eighty veterans participating, we expect, and the top
Speaker 3: three will share in ten thousand dollars in nondoluted funding
Speaker 3: to help their businesses. And it's nice to give them
Speaker 3: a little bit of a boost. T Mobile sponsors that.
Speaker 3: But it's also very nice for us because it teaches
Speaker 3: the rest of the class through questions, through seeing someone
Speaker 3: else do it, kind of seeing someone put on the spot.
Speaker 3: It helps them prepare for the pitches they're going to
Speaker 3: have to make if they want to succeed in business.
Speaker 1: Now, I mean, obviously this is recommended for veterans out
Speaker 1: there who have a business model or an idea in mind,
Speaker 1: or maybe someone who's already started off down that road
Speaker 1: and maybe need some assistance with dealing with some of
Speaker 1: the challenges. It wants to learn from folks who have
Speaker 1: been down the road with their current entrepreneurial endeavor. But
Speaker 1: what about folks who are veterans who think, hmmm, maybe
Speaker 1: I could be an entrepreneur. I just don't have anything
Speaker 1: in mind right now. Would they benefit at all from
Speaker 1: being at this event.
Speaker 3: Well, we're looking primarily for veterans who have taken some
Speaker 3: serious steps towards their entrepreneurship, but we do offer other
Speaker 3: resources and the community is there to help other folks
Speaker 3: who are like in that seed stage where they just
Speaker 3: have an idea. They're an ideation mode, and we want
Speaker 3: to help them out, and we also connect them with
Speaker 3: SBA and other resources, other people who are out there
Speaker 3: helping them so that they can get to that point
Speaker 3: where they're ready to take on something like the av
Speaker 3: Patriot boot Camp.
Speaker 1: All right, so for all the details, it's Patriot Bootcamp
Speaker 1: dot org. Have I got that right?
Speaker 3: Absolutely?
Speaker 1: Thank you, no problem. Well, they're going to want to
Speaker 1: know hearing something about like an event like this, with
Speaker 1: all the resources are going to be available, why not
Speaker 1: take them up on it? It's there for your benefit,
Speaker 1: my veteran friends, and entrepreneurial veteran friends Patriot Bootcamp dot org.
Speaker 1: And again the kickoff time tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Tomorrow morning, we kick off at eight am.
Speaker 1: Eight am. That's a sleep in for veterans, right, yah,
Speaker 1: we call.
Speaker 3: It boot camp, but eight am is a pretty late
Speaker 3: starting terms.
Speaker 1: In those terms, it is for the American veteran who's
Speaker 1: used to the bugle. Yes, indeed, Well, I appreciate you
Speaker 1: joining the program, and I thank you for the opportunity
Speaker 1: to spread the information of my veteran friends out there.
Speaker 1: Dan Claire Communications Outreach ofvis for for dav the resources
Speaker 1: are there for you, my veteran friends who take advantage
Speaker 1: of them. Thanks for doing the program, Dan, it's a
Speaker 1: great idea.
Speaker 3: Thanks your constant sources support for us, and we really
Speaker 3: appreciate what you do for us.
Speaker 1: I am blessed to be in this position to be
Speaker 1: able to spread the news, my friend, and happy to
Speaker 1: do it. Thank you for your service for our country,
Speaker 1: my friend. It's seven thirty six right now, folks, So
Speaker 1: I hope you can stick around. Got more to talk about.
Speaker 1: I will be taking phone calls too, if you'd like
Speaker 1: to call, I'd love to hear from you. But first
Speaker 1: I want to mention affordable medical imaging because I want
Speaker 1: everybody to save thousands of dollars. Don't go to the
Speaker 1: hospital and get your images echo cardigram CT scans, MRIs, ultrasounds.
Speaker 1: They are a boatload of money at the hospital. They
Speaker 1: got tons of overhead, but they also like the fat
Speaker 1: bank the profit that comes from the hospital imaging center,
Speaker 1: because most people don't know about affordable imaging services where
Speaker 1: that echo cardiogram will get you right in to do
Speaker 1: it no waytime. It's five hundred dollars without an enhancement.
Speaker 1: Eight hundred with that price comes with a board certified
Speaker 1: radiologists report, where you would pay probably thirty five hundred
Speaker 1: dollars if not more at the hospital five hundred without
Speaker 1: an enhancement, eight hundred with these prices never cease to
Speaker 1: amaze me. I'm doing commercials for affordable imaging services for
Speaker 1: a long time now, and every time I see the
Speaker 1: stark contrast between the two and the fact that I've
Speaker 1: been there, I mean, I've gotten several CT scans from
Speaker 1: affordable imaging services where it's four point fifty without a
Speaker 1: contrast six hundred with a contrast, it could be five
Speaker 1: thousand dollars, same kind of equipment. Medical professionals who've been
Speaker 1: doing this for decades never had a problem with my
Speaker 1: doctor looking at the at the image and the radiologists report,
Speaker 1: So why pay more? You got a choice. Exercise it
Speaker 1: five one three seven, five three eight thousand, five one
Speaker 1: three seven, five three eight thousand. It's low overhead, but
Speaker 1: it's massive savings. Online. You can learn more at Affordable
Speaker 1: Medimaging dot com.
