A Warning Order For Canadian Veteran Entrepreneurs

Look, I'm going to cut right to the chase. I'm going to be a part of the creation of the Military Influencer "North".

Not tracking what the Military Influencer Conference is?

It's the world's premiere military based, entrepreneur conference and I've been tasked to help get it off the ground, in Canada, with a team of motivated Canucks.

MIC North

Although this might sound like a new sandwhich from MacDonald's, it's going to be the first iteration of the MIC in a foreign country. The goal is to bring together the global veteran community, through entrepreneurship. I'm all in on this concept and it falls in line with my concept of the "Veteran Renaissance".

Over 20 years of fighting during the GWOT created a new breed of veteran, capable of thinking on their feet, adaptable, highly skilled and relentless. Plus, we're all connected with this new thing called the internet where we can share ideas, podcast, connect and trade.

The Warning Order

The warning order is simple. Curtez Riggs , organizer of MIC, has laid it out for us.

When: No later than end August, 2024.

Location: TBD but within the Toronto-Montreal corridor.

Who: Active duty military and veterans looking to showcase their products or services and/or anyone that supports the military entrepreneur efforts.

For now, follow all the developments in my newsletter and reach out to me via direct message for more information.

Voluntold

There's a new app in town and it's called Voluntold . This is the brainchild of Michael Perstinger and I during the dark, depths of COVID lockdowns. The goal, to help 1 million veterans lose 20 million pounds!

The Kickstarter

In order to get this app to the next phase of development, we need some of your hard earned cash. Don't worry, we're not going to shake you down; just make you feel guilty for NOT contributing to the well-being of the veteran community.

You see, we've got a very disturbing pattern of suicides in the veteran community. Upwards of 22 suicides a day in the U.S. and proportional numbers in Canada. Mike and I had enough and decided to act. We're using a digital, community-based, fitness-gaming model to get veterans physically healthy.

The data shows, overwhelmingly, that physical fitness is far superior to our current model of talk therapy and pharma meds. We also know that reducing obesity is a massive step forward in conquering PTSD for the individual.

Gruntstyle Support

You should probably know that we've received the blessing and support of the Grunt Style Foundation , who are incredible guys and gals that want nothing more than for our project to succeed. They boast a massive audience and consistently do great things for the veteran community because they actually give a sh*t. Their apparel company is HUGE and we're beyond excited to see where this partnership will take us.

Wrap Up

There are loads more updates to fill you in on but in order not to have you drinking from a firehose, these are the most important for the week. Be sure to share this newsletter with those in your circle that could benefit from high speed fitness and health content for the veteran and military communities.
