William Benson: Healing Heroes with Military Trucks and Talks

from Helping The Brave Podcast · host Ed Parcaut

In this compelling episode of the Helping The Brave Podcast, hosts Ed Parcaut and Amy Tiemeyer sit down with William Benson, a veteran with a remarkable story of resilience and dedication to helping fellow veterans navigate the challenges of PTSD. After overcoming personal financial struggles with some unexpected aid, William embarked on a journey from entrepreneurship to part-time employment, which ultimately led him to a fulfilling role with Medways. Advocating for mental health, he founded the Old Grumpy project, leveraging the power of old military trucks as a conversation starter to provide immediate resources for veterans who are psychologically scarred by their service. Listen as William shares his experiences in the military, including stints as a machine gunner in the Marines and a Bradley Gunner with the Washington Army National Guard. Discover the motivations behind his transition to civilian life, his innovative Old Grumpy project, and his ambitious plans for a mobile podcasting venture, talent recruitment, and a budding documentary that could change the narrative around PTSD and veteran support. Get involved and learn more about William Benson's project, hear about the clinical aspects of PTSD, and find out what can be done to support our veterans in their battle against this invisible foe. Follow along for a deep dive into William's story, his collaborations with veteran organizations, and his quest to monetize the project to sustain its growth and outreach.
