Join The MisFitNation as host Rich LaMonica welcomes US Army Veteran Lori McVicar-Peltan — MP pioneer, private investigator, actress, comedian, and the definition of grit.

After the military, she became the first female to start her own PI firm in Buffalo, NY, earned top investigative honors at AIG, and now continues her mission as a grandmother of 11, actress in the film Lucy and the Lake Monster, presenter at the VETTYS, and graduate of a comedy writing program.
