One dude recently probably gave me the best compliment I've ever received. And I'm so tempted to take it, but I can't. But he was on social media. He's like, you have more testicular fortitude than any other man I've ever met. I mean, it's like the best thing you could ever hear as a dude, right? It's awesome.
And I so am tempted to be like, yeah, bro. And people have said similar things, like, we just can't believe how strong you were through this. And it's like, no, you're missing it. You're missing it, man. I don't have testicular fortitude. If you compliment me, I've got to just point you right to Jesus. I've got to do it because anything else is me claiming that I was strong through this.
You may have seen moments of strength. Those came between moments of absolute despair, absolute weakness, absolute just brokenness. And I just kept submitting to the Lord and trusting that he was taking us somewhere special. Like we talked about, to a season that would be producing more fruit. And he carried me through that. So if you saw strength, you saw his strength through me.
It was not my strength. Paul talks about this in the New Testament. When we are weak, his strength is manifested through us. And that's glorifying to God. So when we are weak, that's when we're actually strong. Because when we lean on him, his strength manifests. It's a powerful message. I hope they hear it. I hope they hear it. There's solidarity in it.
And I think it's important for them to hear it. And I struggled with how much to tell on that part of the story. But I think it's important for them to know that, yeah, man, there's other people who have gone through this. We can get through it together. Call me. Reach out to me. And or let's make changes. Let's fix this. Let's stop this from happening to our teammates.
Let's stop contributing to the suicide epidemic by 29%. There's a better way to do business that takes better care of our teammates.
I think... Dude, it's so funny you said that. I never really thought much about my voice. But seeing all the comments from the last episode about my doggone Batman voice, apparently. And now I got a head cold, so I don't know how this is going to turn out.
Well, my old CEO, a guy I loved, I mentioned him last one. Whenever I told stories, I would drop into an octave. And I didn't even know I did it, but I used to call it the Marlboro Man voice. He's like, did you just smoke a pack of cigarettes before the story?
I'm like, I don't know. I don't know. It just happened over the years. So yeah, next career, who knows? Hopefully I'm retired by the summer. One June, one July timeframe is what we've been aiming for. assuming we can figure this out with the Navy and just let me leave, guys, let me leave. That's the hope. And then we'll see what's next.
Whether this administration decides to pick me up for a job, great. I've told them I'd be happy to serve as long as I'm a change agent. and able to actually run in the directions that we need to run in and make the changes that will protect our teammates. And if not, that's fine. Give me a call. I'll consult with you for free.
I will tell you about all the things we saw and what needs to change and what needs to be fixed. And I know they already have smart people doing these things also, which is good. They weren't hearing this just from me. They heard it from a lot of sources. And so we're seeing that start to manifest now, which is very exciting.
So I'm comfortable and confident that all the right change is going to happen very, very soon here. And it's already starting. Um, so yeah, hopefully by this summer, this season's behind us officially.
Yeah.
Yeah. Um, thank you. Appreciate that. Um, part of that change, we were just brainstorming one day about like, man, one of the things they, that, that prohibits you from doing these things is we talked about the, the, the cost, the financial piece. Uh, people have been like, oh, well he was an officer. He was able to pay for this.
No, dude, we're up to about 200 something thousand dollars in legal fees in totality for three years. We couldn't afford that. And one of the things the military prohibits you from doing is fundraising for yourself for these types of things. So it's like they pitch you up as a David versus Goliath scenario, but then they deny you access to the stones to even fight. Yeah.
We've got to fix that problem too. If someone's allowed to be provided civilian counsel, which they need, because you need a mediator attorney, and in my case, a team of mediator attorneys, like we said, between you, Davis, Mark Jessup, and Tim Parlatori, who all still, we still collaborate. We had a whole thread called Team Truth.
If that's what you need, well, then we need to be able to allow that person to solicit funds for that. And so one of the reasons we started talking about this was we had to search through nonprofits to get there. We talked about the Cash Foundation. We're still with Stand With Warriors. Davis Yannis was here last time, represented by them.
But he had thought of the idea of we should just start our own 501c3 because what we found is even family members and these people out there want to help people like us. But they also want it to be a tax-deductible thing where they can get benefits from that, and it makes it easier for them to throw money at that. And so on a whim, he's like, well, why don't I just start a 501c3?
So if your parents want to help or friends of the family that ask want to help, they can just go through that and it saves them some tax burdens. So we're in the process of starting that. Amy's going to be a board member. Oh, man, that's cool.
And protections, you know, and I hope... Protections. I hope... I hope you'd stick it out for the change to come. I was teaching this class, and I keep reinforcing these young dudes, like, stick this out. The teams are a great place, and we need you to stick it out. We need you to make it better.
