11. Veteran Episode

On this episode, Carl Falconer and Danny Arroyo honor Veterans Day with a special discussion on homeless veterans — exploring the challenges they face, the programs designed to help, and the importance of community in ensuring no veteran is left behind.They unpack the causes behind veteran homelessness, including mental health struggles and reintegration challenges, and spotlight Pathlight HOME’s No Buddy Left Behind program, which has already helped dozens of veterans find stable housing. The conversation also touches on powerful stories of resilience, the role of teamwork and service, and how military values like brotherhood and compassion translate into the fight to end homelessness.Plus, the duo highlights inspiring veterans’ initiatives, including Hayden Hurst’s mental health advocacy and Stacia McDonough’s “Keep Them Warm” campaign — while reflecting on the week’s “MVP” and “Fumble” moments in the NFL and in housing advocacy.Produced by Gigi Ramirez and Jay Falconer.
