In this episode of Helping The Brave Podcast, Ed Parcaut sits down with Damon Darnall, also known as the Drone Boss, for a conversation about drones, entrepreneurship, and why this fast-growing industry can be a strong fit for veterans.

Damon shares how he got into flying at a young age, how the drone industry has evolved, and why he believes commercial drones are creating one of the biggest business opportunities in the years ahead. He and Ed talk about inspections, solar, dams, power lines, delivery systems, mapping, AI-powered automation, and how drones are opening doors for small business owners.

One of the biggest takeaways from this episode is Damon's experience helping people move from traditional jobs into drone entrepreneurship. He explains why veterans often do especially well in this space, thanks to discipline, execution, and a natural ability to follow systems and operating procedures.

This is a practical episode about veteran transition, new technology, side hustles, and building a business in a growing market.

In this episode of Helping The Brave Podcast, Ed Parcaut sits down with Aaron Crippen for a real conversation about military service, hidden trauma, transition, reinvention, and purpose.

Aaron shares why he joined the Army, what life looked like in infantry service, and how injuries and experiences from that time followed him long after he got out. He talks openly about not fully understanding PTSD at first, dealing with survivor's guilt, learning how trauma shows up years later, and navigating a system that often leaves veterans frustrated when they need help most.

The conversation also explores what came next. Aaron found his way back into stunt work, built a business in a trust-based industry, and began writing a memoir rooted in one powerful idea: sometimes the moments that knock us down become the ones that shape us most.

This episode is about resilience, mindset, veteran transition, storytelling, and what it means to keep getting back up.

In this episode of Helping The Brave Podcast, Ed Parcaut sits down with Terry Weaver for a conversation about military service, transition, creativity, and the power of storytelling after the uniform comes off.

Terry shares how he joined the Navy, served as a Corpsman with the Marines, and eventually had to figure out what came next after service. That next chapter took him through business, entrepreneurship, writing, acting, and filmmaking. What makes this conversation stand out is how honest it is about reinvention. Terry talks about discovering creativity later in life, building a new mission around meaningful stories, and why veterans need something purposeful to fill the void that can show up after service.

This episode also explores faith, film, writing, military influence in storytelling, and the deeper need for connection and purpose. It is a strong conversation for veterans who know transition is not just about getting out. It is about becoming someone new without losing who you were.
