In Episode 14 of The Outreach Project Podcast, we flip the script and turn the cameras on ourselves.

For the first time, Jonathan Hodge and Josh Melching sit down to talk about the story behind The Outreach Project, why we started it, and what drives us to keep building this mission. We dig into military transition, the nonprofit resource gap, the power of storytelling, and why so many veterans and first responders still do not know what support is available to them.

We also talk about:

Josh’s journey from aircraft maintenance to TACP and how nonprofit retreats changed his life

Hodge’s military career, family story, and the passion behind helping others transition

Why the directory and app matter so much to us

The real reason this project became bigger than a podcast

Funny behind-the-scenes moments, outtakes, and the chaos of building all this in real time

This episode is personal, honest, and a look behind the curtain at the men and mission behind The Outreach Project.

If you have been following the show, thank you for being here. If this is your first episode, welcome to the mission.

The Outreach Project connects veterans, first responders, and families to trusted nonprofit resources across the country.
