This episode holds particular significance to me for many reasons. I want to thank Evocati Public Relations (https://www.evocatillc.com/), a veteran-owned firm, for facilitating my conversation with Michael “Sully” Sullivan, a U.S. Army Ret. Green Beret Colonel and Incoming Executive Director for Team Red, White & Blue (Team RWB).
During our discussion, Michael shared insights into his distinguished military career, the unique challenges veterans encounter during the transition to civilian life, and the vital support Team RWB offers through community engagement, physical fitness initiatives, and opportunities for social connection.
Colonel Sullivan emphasized that Team RWB’s mission extends well beyond fitness; he highlighted their commitment to inclusivity, the development of an innovative health-tracking application, and a range of diverse programs that promote resilience, teamwork, and strong relationships among veterans and civilians alike.
Before this conversation, I was under the impression that Team RWB focused solely on running activities. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that its scope is considerably broader.

I extend my gratitude to Michael “Sully” Sullivan for his dedicated service and for generously sharing his experiences.
