The fastest way to stall your business is to do it alone. We sit down with William Garay Jr. veteran, entrepreneur, and leadership coach to talk about what actually moves the needle when you are building something from scratch: presence, trust, and community. He shares how he frames his work around helping people eliminate doubt, especially during the messy transition from military structure to civilian entrepreneurship and leadership.

We unpack his Goal-Getter community and why mastermind-style rooms create momentum. You will hear how weekly wins, hot-seat problem solving, and practical series on brand, planning, and AI can shorten your learning curve. We also get real about the parts founders avoid: pricing your time, separating personal and business money, setting up clean systems like LLCs and accounts, and having hard conversations about finances without turning them into personal attacks.

The conversation widens into legacy. William connects small business ownership to generational impact, parenting, and what success looks like at 41 compared to 31. We also touch on veteran mental health, including thoughtful perspectives on cannabis and other emerging tools used with intention, plus a hard truth civilians often miss: veterans understand the cost of freedom in a deeply personal way. If you care about veteran entrepreneurship, leadership development, small business growth, and authentic brand building, this one is for you.

Pearland is growing fast so the big question is: can we keep what makes it special while everything scales up?

I sit down with Tony Carbone sixth-generation resident, CPA, longtime council member, and mayoral candidate for a real, no-nonsense conversation about the future of the city. We break down his four priorities: public safety, infrastructure, flood mitigation, and affordability, and what those actually mean for your taxes, water bills, and daily life.

We also get into the issues residents care about most traffic on 518, zoning debates, drainage after Harvey, and how technology is shaping public safety. If you want a clear, practical look at where Pearland is headed and what’s at stake in this election, this episode is for you.

Trauma does not always hit all at once. Sometimes it stacks up quietly until one small moment at home becomes the blow-up you never saw coming. I sits down with Matthew, a Navy veteran, Houston police officer, and executive director of the Birdwell Foundation, to talk about what PTSD really looks like after the uniform and what actually helps when willpower is not enough.

Matthew shares a deeply personal story about surviving a shipwreck near Bahrain, avoiding water for years, and then finding calm again through fishing. That healing turned into action with “Fishing for Peace,” a program that takes veterans and first responders out on the water, teaches fishing and basic boating skills, and helps people build a reliable outlet they can use with their kids, their buddies, or on a hard day when their nervous system will not shut off.

We also dig into the Birdwell Foundation for PTSD and Camp Valor in Conroe, Texas: a faith-based recovery camp built on brotherhood, structure, and peer support. Matthew explains who the program is for, how the intake process works, why they require a PTSD diagnosis, and how chapters in multiple states provide free support.

In this episode of Charlie Mike The Podcast, we sit down with Ryan, an 11B Infantryman who served with the 10th Mountain Division and deployed to Kosovo, Iraq, and Afghanistan. After years of living at the speed of war, Ryan faced a different kind of battle when he came home—one that nearly cost lives and forced him to confront addiction, accountability, and the long road to sobriety.

Now approaching ten years sober, Ryan shares his journey of rebuilding his life, rediscovering faith, and finding purpose again through service, community leadership, and a new mission in cybersecurity helping fight child exploitation.

This conversation is about brotherhood, redemption, and the truth that Charlie Mike—continue the mission—isn’t just a radio call. It’s a way of life.

Processing the Charlie Kirk assassination has been difficult, especially seeing people celebrate the death of someone for their beliefs regardless of whether you agreed with him.

• When someone is killed for their beliefs, it's bigger than one person—it's an attack on free speech
• Life's fragility is a sobering reminder that we aren't guaranteed tomorrow
• Having courage to speak your mind should never cost anyone their life
• Revenge, hate and more violence only continues the destructive cycle
• We must decide whether to let anger consume us or find a better way forward
• We can debate strongly while still maintaining our shared humanity
• Cherish your loved ones and be present because tomorrow isn't promised
