This past week on The MisFitNation and The ToosDay Crüe, we sat down with remarkable leaders and storytellers who brought resilience, wisdom, and creativity to the forefront.
🎙️ Sunday – We welcomed back Dennis McCurdy, a down-to-earth expert who knows how to get things done even when life tries to get in the way. Dennis is a financial advisor, entrepreneur, author, and Air Force Security Forces veteran whose mission is to help people secure their finances, manage risks, and—most importantly—get out of their own way to achieve their dreams. He’s the author of several books, including his latest humorous and practical guide, Suck It Up Cupcake, Stop Screwing Yourself and Get the Life You Want, where he dives into chasing ambitions, surviving setbacks, and reigniting motivation.
🎙️ ToosDay Crüe – The Crüe sat down with Naoki Hisey, a retired Marine with a deep passion for naturopathic medicine. As an Indigenous woman, Naoki is dedicated to helping others find natural remedies that truly work. With a background as a Navy Corpsman and a medicine holder in her Tribe, she combines medical knowledge with ancestral healing practices, tenaciously pursuing ways to heal without harm.
🎙️ Wednesday – Rich teamed up with David Willis (Homefront Sitrep), Martin "Ty" Cobb (Triple Threat Vet Podcast), and Travis Partington (Oscar Mike Radio) for Podcasting 101 on Cavarts. Together, they broke down the art of storytelling, the craft of production, and the role podcasts play in building stronger communities.
🎙️ Thursday – We closed out the week with Paul Pape, a TEDx speaker, author, and creative business strategist known as “Santa for Nerds.” With over 20 years as a successful creative entrepreneur, Paul has designed custom collectibles for Disney, Universal, and Nickelodeon while building his own thriving design studio. His insights on creativity, entrepreneurship, and building lasting impact offered inspiration to veterans and creators alike.
👉 This week captured what The MisFitNation is all about—grit, growth, resilience, and the creativity to thrive no matter the path you take.
