This is a very special episode and one that is different from any of our previous shows. We begin with a personal story about Tony's twin brother, Aaron, who died suddenly while serving in the U.S. Army in November 2018. This leads into a discussion about the #1 killer of Americans and all humans, and why more needs to be done on this front. Finally, we conclude with the stories of three veteran founded startups.

Please consider sharing this episode along with the legacy and memory of Aaron Mastrorio so that his story can help inspire others around the world.
