The Birth of a Movement: The Origin and Evolution of Tip of The Spear
“Tip of The Spear” was born out of necessity—a response to the urgent call for a dedicated platform where veterans could gather, speak candidly, and confront the issues that affect them directly. More than just a podcast, it has become a rallying point for those who have worn the uniform and now seek to serve in a different way—through dialogue, advocacy, and unity. What began just 18 months ago as a humble roundtable conversation has transformed into a powerful and dynamic forum. One that elevates veteran voices, confronts community concerns head-on, and isn’t afraid to tackle global issues that ripple through both military and civilian life.
The Genesis of Tip of The Spear
The roots of Tip of The Spear trace back to a collaboration between four pioneering podcasts—each with its own unique voice and mission, yet united by a common goal: to uplift and empower the veteran community.
HomeFront Sitrep – A show dedicated to highlighting veteran service organizations and the stories behind them, providing critical information and support to veterans across the country.
The Triple Threat Vet Podcast – A raw, unfiltered space where veterans speak their truth, share their experiences, and tackle tough conversations with honesty and grit.
The MisFitNation – A podcast that breaks barriers and brings together a wide range of perspectives from veterans, first responders, and civilians alike, pushing for understanding and mutual respect.
I Am Pitts – A deeply personal and powerful show that shines a spotlight on one man’s journey from service to storytelling, offering reflections on resilience, service, and identity.
Together, these founding voices laid the foundation for what would become Tip of The Spear. Their early discussions were more than just talk—they were blueprints for action. Veterans spoke openly about mental health, transition struggles, systemic issues, and the challenges of reintegration into civilian life. As word spread and impact grew, more podcasts and veteran voices joined the roundtable, expanding the conversation and deepening the bench of experience.
A Platform with Purpose
Tip of The Spear is now more than a roundtable—it's a movement. It’s a growing community of storytellers, change-makers, advocates, and allies who believe that veteran voices matter and that those who have served should lead the way in conversations about leadership, accountability, and global citizenship.
Each episode serves as a sounding board and a beacon—shining a light on what matters most to the military community and offering insight and inspiration to those still navigating life after service.
Whether it’s tackling the latest policy debates, elevating untold stories, or forging new paths for post-service purpose, Tip of The Spear remains firmly planted at the frontline of advocacy, awareness, and authentic veteran storytelling.
