GV 18-40 The Impact Echo in Ramadi has made with Scott Huesing.

October 1, 2018September 21, 2022Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Our Global Veterans with Sara Troy and her guest Scott Huesing, on air October 2nd

Scott is back with us to share the overwhelming response to his book Echo in Ramadi where he shares his combat journey and in how it has impacted those that have heard him and read the book. Come hear my last show with Scott here.

Scott A. Huesing is a retired United States Marine Corps Infantry Major with 24 years of honorable service, both enlisted and as a commissioned officer. During his career spanning 10 deployments, he operated in over 60 countries worldwide. Throughout his numerous deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Horn of Africa he planned, led, and conducted hundreds of combat missions under some of the most austere and challenging conditions. Scott is a published author since 2005. His book, Echo in Ramadi, is a ten-month snapshot in time that changed the face of operations on the battlefield; a captivating story of Echo Company, 2d Battalion, 4th Marines during the Second Battle of Ramadi in support of the Multi National Forces (MNF) Surge Strategy in 2006. His true-life account provides keen insights into what may be an unfamiliar world to readers, but very familiar to those, like Scott, who lived it and endured this historic fight. Echo in Ramadi was written to honor the sacrifices and spirit of his Marines and the families they supported – it is his tribute to them and his honor to tell this great story. Readers will feel the pain, emotion, laughter, intensity, and friction that Scott describes in unvarnished detail.

RAISING AWARENESS FOR

VETERAN SUICIDE ONE MILE AT A TIME

On Friday July 22nd, Major Scott A. Huesing USMC (Ret), the Bestselling Author of Echo in Ramadi is riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle across the country again for Save the Brave (STB) to raise awareness for Veteran Suicide. Huesing (51), the Executive Director of Save the Brave (501c3) began this ride in 2020 to honor his high school friend and veteran, David W. White (aged 48), who died from alcohol poisoning on Sunday, June 7, 2020, in Butte, Montana. Huesing will ride from Bastards Canteen in Temecula, California to Palmetto Brewing Company in Charleston, South Carolina.

During the 9-day journey, Huesing will make several stops to ask supporters to donate to STB and ride along with him on his journey to raise awareness for veteran suicide – emphasizing that these are not statistics anymore, they are friends and sons and brothers that we all know. He’ll be joined by fellow veterans and riders from every state he passes through amidst the heat of July. Their goal – $100,000.

When asked, “Why did you pick July to make this ride?” Huesing responded, “I didn’t pick the month – the month picked me. If nothing else, it’s a reminder to everyone who joins me along the way that maybe we need to suffer a little bit to be reminded exactly why we are riding.” Veterans dealing with depression, alcohol abuse, and PTSD are especially impacted by the isolation this pandemic has caused in many cases.

This is a unique opportunity to stay connected as veterans and as communities while supporting a worthwhile charity.

As a young women, Sara was diagnosed with a disease that left her in constant pain and confined to her home. Sara blogged about her life journey with pain, sickness, loss and through it all, joy.

RK18-38 “King Zoom the Vegan Kid” Sharing Animal Compassion

September 17, 2018July 28, 2021Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Raising Our Gifted Children with Sara Troy and her guests Kid Zoom THE Vegan Kid and Mum Gillian Walters.

Most children are taught to take the best care of their companion animals. They love them and feed them, pamper them and make sure they are not harmed, but at the same time, we live in a society that teaches us that it is okay to eat pigs for breakfast, chickens for lunch, and cows for dinner. It is estimated that 60 billion land animals and 90 billion marine animals are killed for food each year. These numbers do not include the millions of animals killed in other areas of exploitation. Find out how King Zoom makes sense of this and what you can do to help save animals.

Saving the Planet with Compassion

I was born Vegan.
I learned that we drank almond milk because cow’s milk was for baby cows. Eating plant-based foods was just normal for me (and delicious!).
Growing up I learned that we didn’t visit zoos and marine parks because the animals inside these places were not happy.
As I got older I learned more about animals used for food, entertainment, clothing and in laboratories. I felt confused as to why this was happening to animals. I just knew that I had to do something to make a change, so I got active!
My activism started when I was about 7 years old. I felt so sad about the earthquake in Haiti that I wanted to do something. So I asked friends to donate money to Doctors without Borders instead of birthday gifts for me.
For several years I made freshly squeezed lemonade and sold it to raise money for local animal rescue groups.
?Since then I have attended marches, peaceful protests, gathered signatures for
? Bill S-203, spoken with local government, leafleted, created posters and chalked!
? I have had an active part in making history; including the Ban on Cetaceans in Captivity at the Vancouver Aquarium and the biggest Animal Rights March in San Fransisco!
?But my favourite activism is speaking about Veganism and visiting sanctuaries.

AK18-38 The Missing Piece and More with Bud Boughton

September 17, 2018March 11, 2019Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

An Author’s Kiss with Sara Troy and her guest Bud Boughton, on air from September 18th

Bud Boughton has lived an amazing life filled with a variety of experiences and yet, he sees himself as just an ‘ordinary guy’ who has been blessed to have many great people around him. A husband and father, he has lived a real life sprinkled with both successes and failures, all of which has taught him how to be resilient when facing the toughest circumstances.

A native of Kenmore, New York (suburb of Buffalo), Bud grew up with wonderful, supportive parents in a very athletic family of three boys. All three boys were active in youth sports and would eventually all play college football. In fact, Bud began his professional life as a college football coach and educator, obtaining his Master’s degree while coaching college football at Ball State University in Muncie, IN.

With his roots in education and coaching, he has always looked for new learning opportunities and has long been a student of both leadership development and performance improvement. Thus, it was no surprise when he moved almost seamlessly from the coaching profession into the business world where he sold for several Fortune 500 companies early in his business career (Proctor & Gamble, Xerox and IBM). He later left IBM to pursue opportunities in the banking software business where he held several senior level management positions and was an office of a publicly traded software company.

As an author, Bud has written three books and numerous articles. His comments and opinions have appeared on the pages of FORTUNE magazine, INC. magazine, Sales and Marketing Management and in ETHIX Magazine published by the Institute for Business, Technology & Ethics. His latest book, Coaching is Teaching at its Best! has already been described in one review as a book that has the potential to change the course of youth sports in America.

As a professional speaker, Bud’s credentials include everything from keynote addresses for state and national professional associations to guest lectures on college campuses and motivational presentations for national sales organizations. He’s even done storytelling sessions for elementary school audiences.
Bud still maintains an active lifestyle playing hockey, golf and hitting the gym 2-3 times a week. He is a certified official with both USA Hockey and US Lacrosse and he has run nine full marathons over a span of some 35 years (including both the New York City Marathon and the Boston Marathon). In 1996, he successfully climbed Mt. Rainer (14,411 ft.), often considered one of the most arduous and difficult climbs in the lower 48 states.

Highly creative and entertaining, most people who have the opportunity to work with him come away with the same impression…he is real and has an enduring passion for life. In a second marriage with his elementary school sweetheart, Cindy, they currently reside in a suburb of Indianapolis sharing the lives of their combined family (six sons and nine grandchildren).
