In this episode, Renona Brown and Raffa Gibbard discussed how veterans can get money for starting a business. That’s why I wanted to revisit this episode for those of you who missed out on this because there are a lot of veterans out here, but they specifically were in certain tracks that the government has that allows veterans to start their business and so we’re going to talk about that in this episode.

Renona Riddle Brown is the CEO and Founder of HuRMAR Solutions, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned and Woman-Owned Small Business. HuRMAR is a Human Resources, Administrative, and Business Consulting company delivering mission-focused and solutions-oriented services to the federal, state, and private industries. After retiring from the military, Renona continued her service for the federal government sector. She knew she had so much to offer to the world, and so it was fate that she discovered the self-employment track.

Raffa Gibbard is the CEO of Brave One Contract Agency. In the Army, She was a Project Manager on several multimillion dollar projects (roads, entry control points, barracks , airfield runways and ranges in Kuwait. With Brave One Contract Agency her crews are vetted with the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Interior, and the Department of Transportation. All employees have OSHA 10 certifications and supervisors have OSHA 30.

Stay tuned for this episode and let’s welcome our Govcon Giants, Renona Brown and Raffa Gibbard.
