I had an enlightening conversation with Bryon Wiebold, the Mayor of Farmersville, Texas, and a dedicated individual working in Industry Relations at Tenstreet. The discussion centered around Farmersville’s unwavering commitment to supporting Wreaths Across America, a heartfelt initiative that pays tribute to the sacrifices of American servicemembers.
Farmersville, the proud hometown of Audie Murphy, the most decorated soldier in World War II, holds a special place in the hearts of those who understand the true meaning of service and sacrifice. Bryon Wiebold, though not a military veteran himself, embodies the spirit of service by dedicating his efforts to those who have served.
The upcoming episode sheds light on Farmersville’s deep involvement in Wreaths Across America’s annual campaign, slated to kick off on December 16th. Wreaths Across America’s mission is simple yet profound: to place wreaths on the gravesites of every American servicemember, ensuring that no hero is forgotten during the holiday season.
Bryon Wiebold’s collaboration with Wreaths Across America has provided valuable insights into the organization’s mission and the importance of honoring the nation’s heroes. His dedication to ensuring the continuation of this noble cause exemplifies the gratitude and respect that should be extended to those who have served in the military.
Listeners can find inspiration in Bryon’s commitment to supporting Wreaths Across America, showcasing how individuals from all walks of life can contribute to preserving the memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice. As the holiday season approaches, Bryon’s message serves as a reminder that gratitude and remembrance are timeless virtues that can unite communities and bridge the gap between those who served and those who support them.

In the fast-paced world, we live in, it’s not often that we get the chance to sit down and chat with someone whose life has taken them on a unique journey—one that involves not only conquering monster trucks but also navigating the gears of life itself. Recently, I had the pleasure of talking with Bryce Kenny, the man behind the wheel of the Great Clips Mohawk Warrior Monster Truck in the Monster Jam World Tour.
What struck me about Bryce is not just his adrenaline-pumping career but the depth of his insights into life. Byrce is a civilian, but his roots run deep within a military family, bringing a unique perspective to the challenges and triumphs we all face. Bryce’s book, “Geared for Life,” caught my attention. Drawing from his experiences, he breaks down the phases of life into gears, offering a practical guide on how to shift through challenges and, perhaps more importantly, what to do when success comes knocking. The metaphorical gearbox he presents is a refreshing take on personal development, providing a tangible framework to achieve our full potential.
During our conversation, Bryce shared how his diverse roles as a speaker, author, host, and emcee complement his monster truck driving career. It became evident that he is more than just a driver; he is a storyteller, imparting lessons learned through his own journey.
Visiting Bryce’s website (https://brycekenny.com/) reveals the multifaceted nature of his contributions to the world. It’s not just about the monster truck; it’s about empowering individuals to face life head-on.
As someone with a military background, I found Bryce’s insights to be universally applicable. The conversation served as a reminder that lessons can be learned from individuals, whether civilian or military. It’s a testament to the power of shared experiences and the wisdom that can be gained by opening ourselves up to diverse perspectives.
Thank you, Bryce, for sharing your time and wisdom. As you embark on the 2024 Monster Jam World Tour, here’s to hoping that your journey continues to inspire others to shift through life’s gears and reach their full potential.

In the complex world of mortgages, navigating the process can be challenging, especially for our military veterans. Meet Mark Clark, affectionately known as the “Veteran Mortgage Wingman.” Though Mark didn’t serve in the military himself, his commitment to supporting veterans stems from a deeply personal connection—his father’s service in World War II.
Mark’s journey into the mortgage industry uncovered a significant gap in knowledge among veterans about the VA loan process. Inspired by a desire to make a difference, he founded the Veteran Mortgage Wingman, a dedicated initiative aimed at educating and empowering veterans in the states of Georgia and South Carolina.
It’s not every day that you come across a civilian passionately advocating for veterans, but Mark Clark stands out as a shining example. Through the Veteran Mortgage Wingman, Mark goes above and beyond to ensure that veterans understand the intricacies of the VA loan process, providing them with the knowledge and tools they need to make informed decisions about their mortgages.
Speaking with Mark was not only enlightening but also inspiring. His commitment to serving those who have served our country is a testament to the impact that individuals outside the military community can make. The Veteran Mortgage Wingman is more than just a resource; it’s a lifeline for veterans navigating the often-daunting world of home loans.
For those interested in reaching out to Mark and benefiting from his expertise, you can find him on Facebook or visit Geneva Financial’ s website at https://www.genevafi.com/mortgage-georgia-mark-clark-1/. Mark is readily available to answer questions, provide guidance, and offer the support veterans need when making significant financial decisions.
In closing, a heartfelt thank you to Mark Clark for his dedication to our veterans and for taking the time to share his knowledge. The Veteran Mortgage Wingman is a beacon of support for those who have served our nation, bridging the gap and ensuring they have the information and resources necessary for a smooth mortgage process.

This week, I had the privilege of speaking with Vicki Cody, a truly remarkable individual who spent 33 years as an Army wife, providing unwavering support to her husband throughout his military career. Vicki’s journey is not just a testament to her enduring commitment but also a source of inspiration for countless military families around the world.
During her husband’s service in the U.S. Army, Vicki Cody raised their two sons and faced the challenges of frequent relocations, both within the United States and overseas. However, she didn’t let the nomadic lifestyle hold her back. Instead, she became a coach and mentor for other Army spouses, offering guidance and encouragement as they navigated the unique demands of military life. Her dedication to supporting Army families didn’t stop there. Vicki was also an advocate for military families, working tirelessly to ensure they received the care and attention they deserved.
In addition to her invaluable work as a mentor and advocate, Vicki Cody is also an accomplished author. She has penned two compelling books that shed light on her experiences and the world of military families. “Fly Safe” delves into the intricate relationship she shared with her husband during his command of an Apache helicopter battalion, providing a poignant glimpse into the challenges and triumphs of military life. “Army Wife” goes beyond just the commitment between spouses; it’s a tribute to the commitment to the military life itself, capturing the sacrifices and the enduring love that defines it.
Vicki Cody’s down-to-earth and engaging personality shines through when discussing the importance of supporting military families. Her insights are not just theoretical; they stem from over three decades of living the U.S. Army life and being a devoted U.S. Army wife.
I encourage you to visit her website at https://vickicody.com/. Vicki Cody’s story is a testament to the strength, resilience, and unwavering commitment that defines military families across the globe.
