Okay seven thirty here fifty five kr CV talk station.
They are very happy Tuesday to you.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
You know me.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
I love helping out the American veterans and well also
enjoy getting folks on that are helping out the American veterans.
And today we have Dan Claire from the DAV about
the Patriot Boot Camp. Dan, welcome back to the program.
It's good to hear from you today.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
Hey, good morning, Brian, thanks for having us back again.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Always enjoy hearing from you, and I appreciate what you're
doing for the American veterano. Remind my listeners about what
you do at the DAV.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
Sure DAV is nationally headquartered right here in the Try say.
We're an erlanger. We help veterans get their benefits, we
help them connect with jobs, and this week we're going
to be helping them become entrepreneurs.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
How do you go about doing that? I'm sorry, Dan,
I lack the entrepreneurial spirit. I've been at W two
employee my entire life, and I'm always in awe of
folks who are able to They're like, you know what,
I've got an idea, I'm going to start my own business,
and they actually get it accomplished. I have the most
utmost respect for those because I just I just don't
have it in me. You know, I do too.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
It takes a lot of guts. I mean, just by definition,
if you're an entrepreneur, you're doing something that is inherently risky.
But these veterans are up to it, you know. And
what we're trying to do is give them some of
the building blocks. A lot of these folks during the
prime years that they would have been entrepreneurs, they were
serving their country. So we want to help them give
them access to great instruction, mentors, and a network that's

(02:26):
going to be there to help them as they pursue
their ventures.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
Okay, so what's going to take place at the event
and give us all the details on that.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
Sure, Well, we kick off on Wednesday morning, tomorrow morning,
bright and early. We're going to start and we will
actually have Robert Irvine from Food Networks Restaurant Impossible speaking
and he'll be a mentor and participating in the event.
We're really excited about that. We're going to talk about marketing, pitching, legal,
We're going to have a big deployer legal shield presentation.

(03:00):
We're going to talk about funding and wellness. All tomorrow
the event keeps going, We're going to talk about government contracting,
mergers and acquisitions. And then we're going to do something
on Thursday that's really unique and that we really rely
on the community here in northern Kentucky and Cincinnati on
and that's mentor matching. Every one of these veterans is

(03:20):
going to get matched up with local business leaders and
some national business leaders who are traveling in. They're donating
their time, about four hours of their time to meet
with eight veterans and help them, you know, just walk
through what they're going through and maybe help some of
these veterans avoid some of the mistakes that those CEOs

(03:40):
that those legal folks have seen happen to other people
or happen to themselves over the years.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
Well, that's the value of having people that have been
down that road don't make the mistakes that they made.
They went through it and had to get themselves out
of the challenges, and so they have great ways of explaining, oh,
by the way, don't do this because this is going
to happen to you. That's valuable real life experience. Is
this taking place at a venue.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
It's actually at dav's national headquarters here Hurling are off
Doulwick Drive. So we're hosting it here again and we'll
be back in October for another event. We got the space,
we got the facility, and we might as well use
it to make sure that we're taking care of these
veterans here.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
Oh amen to that. Now, I understand you've got a
bit of a shark tank competition going on.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
There, absolutely ten thousand dollars in nondoluted capital to the winner.
We're going to out of our cohort. We're going to
have about eighty veterans participating, we expect, and the top
three will share in ten thousand dollars in nondoluted funding
to help their businesses. And it's nice to give them
a little bit of a boost. T Mobile sponsors that.

(04:44):
But it's also very nice for us because it teaches
the rest of the class through questions, through seeing someone
else do it, kind of seeing someone put on the spot.
It helps them prepare for the pitches they're going to
have to make if they want to succeed in business.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
Now, I mean, obviously this is recommended for veterans out
there who have a business model or an idea in mind,
or maybe someone who's already started off down that road
and maybe need some assistance with dealing with some of
the challenges. It wants to learn from folks who have
been down the road with their current entrepreneurial endeavor. But
what about folks who are veterans who think, hmmm, maybe

(05:21):
I could be an entrepreneur. I just don't have anything
in mind right now. Would they benefit at all from
being at this event.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
Well, we're looking primarily for veterans who have taken some
serious steps towards their entrepreneurship, but we do offer other
resources and the community is there to help other folks
who are like in that seed stage where they just
have an idea. They're an ideation mode, and we want
to help them out, and we also connect them with
SBA and other resources, other people who are out there

(05:49):
helping them so that they can get to that point
where they're ready to take on something like the av
Patriot boot Camp.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
All right, so for all the details, it's Patriot Bootcamp
dot org. Have I got that right?

Speaker 3 (06:02):
Absolutely?

Speaker 1 (06:03):
Thank you, no problem. Well, they're going to want to
know hearing something about like an event like this, with
all the resources are going to be available, why not
take them up on it? It's there for your benefit,
my veteran friends, and entrepreneurial veteran friends Patriot Bootcamp dot org.
And again the kickoff time tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
Tomorrow morning, we kick off at eight am.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
Eight am. That's a sleep in for veterans, right, yah,
we call.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
It boot camp, but eight am is a pretty late
starting terms.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
In those terms, it is for the American veteran who's
used to the bugle. Yes, indeed, Well, I appreciate you
joining the program, and I thank you for the opportunity
to spread the information of my veteran friends out there.
Dan Claire Communications Outreach ofvis for for dav the resources
are there for you, my veteran friends who take advantage
of them. Thanks for doing the program, Dan, it's a

(06:53):
great idea.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
Thanks your constant sources support for us, and we really
appreciate what you do for us.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
I am blessed to be in this position to be
able to spread the news, my friend, and happy to
do it. Thank you for your service for our country,
my friend. It's seven thirty six right now, folks, So
I hope you can stick around. Got more to talk about.
I will be taking phone calls too, if you'd like
to call, I'd love to hear from you. But first
I want to mention affordable medical imaging because I want
everybody to save thousands of dollars. Don't go to the

(07:19):
hospital and get your images echo cardigram CT scans, MRIs, ultrasounds.
They are a boatload of money at the hospital. They
got tons of overhead, but they also like the fat
bank the profit that comes from the hospital imaging center,
because most people don't know about affordable imaging services where
that echo cardiogram will get you right in to do
it no waytime. It's five hundred dollars without an enhancement.

(07:40):
Eight hundred with that price comes with a board certified
radiologists report, where you would pay probably thirty five hundred
dollars if not more at the hospital five hundred without
an enhancement, eight hundred with these prices never cease to
amaze me. I'm doing commercials for affordable imaging services for
a long time now, and every time I see the
stark contrast between the two and the fact that I've

(08:01):
been there, I mean, I've gotten several CT scans from
affordable imaging services where it's four point fifty without a
contrast six hundred with a contrast, it could be five
thousand dollars, same kind of equipment. Medical professionals who've been
doing this for decades never had a problem with my
doctor looking at the at the image and the radiologists report,
So why pay more? You got a choice. Exercise it

(08:22):
five one three seven, five three eight thousand, five one
three seven, five three eight thousand. It's low overhead, but
it's massive savings. Online. You can learn more at Affordable
Medimaging dot com.
