Leadership, resilience, and authentic conversations took center stage this week on The MisFitNation and The ToosDay CrĂĽe.
🎙️ Saturday – Special Edition with Allison Burton
We kicked off the weekend with Allison Burton, speaker, writer, military spouse advocate, and unapologetic truth-teller.
Together, we explored the realities of invisible labor, burnout, identity loss, resilience culture, and the emotional weight carried by military spouses, caregivers, and leaders who are constantly expected to hold everything together.
A conversation that reminded us it's okay to ask for help—and that resilience doesn't mean carrying every burden alone.
🇺🇸 Sunday – The MisFitNation welcomed Scott Paradis
Rich LaMonica sat down with retired U.S. Army Colonel Scott Paradis for an inspiring conversation about leadership, personal growth, and living with purpose.
Drawing on his experiences as a Congressional Fellow in the U.S. Senate, a National Security Fellow at Harvard University, and the author of eleven books, Scott shared practical lessons on leadership, success, financial wisdom, and unlocking human potential.
🌎 Tuesday – The ToosDay Crüe welcomed Becca Spahr
After serving 20 years as a Marine Corps officer, Becca Spahr shared the challenge many veterans never expect—rebuilding friendship, purpose, and belonging after military service.
Her story highlighted the importance of community, meaningful relationships, and creating a new mission once the uniform comes off.
A conversation that resonated with veterans, military families, and anyone navigating a major life transition.
🎖️ Thursday – The MisFitNation welcomed Keni Thomas
