354 – Michael Madsen – Still Serving

Anyone who has done anything in the military content creation space has run into Michael Madsen at one point or another. We connected a while ago when I was making the switch from being strictly a podcast to a video. I asked him to come on because he is an example of someone who continues to serve.

Michael joined the Army as a Private and then got into flying helicopters. His career is an example of what one can do when they take advantage of every opportunity afforded to them.

After retiring in 2014, Michael started working as a Veterans Service Officer. I have always liked that you are getting information from someone who has personally gone through the VA system.
At minute 23:50 Mike says something about the Volunteer VSO Program that I have never heard. Trust me, you will have the same reaction I did!

As if Michael was busy enough, he also works with Operation Rallypoint V.P. of the Valkyrie Initiative in Birmingham, Al. and the owner of the Foxhole Internet Radio Network, LLC.

Listening to Michael, I realized he could have chosen to retire, and taken it easy as he rode off into the sunset. Instead, he has chosen to keep serving by sharing his knowledge with others.
