4 Powerful Veteran Stories in ONE Week | Leadership, War & Fighting for Justice

🔥 WHAT A WEEK ACROSS THE MISFITNATION!

Four conversations. Four very different journeys. Leadership, service, sacrifice, resilience—and the fight to make a difference after the uniform comes off.

🇺🇸 SUNDAY – CARESSA BELL

Rich welcomed U.S. Army Gulf War Veteran Caressa Bell, author of Manufactured Fearlessness.

From deploying as a young Soldier and single mother to becoming a healthcare executive and eventually building her own leadership advisory firm, Caressa showed us that fearlessness isn't necessarily something you're born with—it can be built.

⚓ TOOSDAY – ROB ROBERTSON

The Crüe hung out with U.S. Navy Veteran Rob Robertson, who spent six years aboard the nuclear-powered attack submarine USS Louisville (SSN-724).

We dug into submarine life, teamwork, discipline, accountability, leadership, martial arts, and the lessons Rob carried into life after the Navy.

📚 THURSDAY – CLAUDIA HINZ

Author and former television reporter Claudia Hinz joined Rich to discuss her novel Safe Keeping and a challenging question:

Has America become disconnected from the people we send to war?

From the legacy of Vietnam and the end of the draft to today's all-volunteer force, this conversation challenged us to think about who carries the burden when America goes to war.

⚖️ SPECIAL FRIDAY – WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

Our friend, U.S. Navy Veteran Arvis Owens, returns to The MisFitNation!

Arvis is back to update us on his continuing advocacy for service members and others that have been falsely accused or wrongfully convicted—and his push for greater due process, accountability, and resources for those fighting to prove their innocence.

This is exactly why we created Where Are They Now? The story doesn't end when the interview does.
