Episode 14 - Donny O'Malley (USMC, OEF Veteran)
Listen now
Description
Host Tim K., sits down in Southern California at the Vet TV Studios with Donny O'Malley, the Founder of Irreverent Warriors and Vet TV. O'Malley served as a Captain in the USMC deploying to Afghanistan, shortly before being medically retired and ending his career in the Corps. Upon reentry into civilian society, O'Malley wrote the well-received "Embarrassing Confessions of a Marine Lieutenant: Operation Branding Iron." The book was so popular with fellow veterans that Donny decided to develop his satirical approach to serious issues, while raising awareness of the necessity of camaraderie in combatting veteran suicide. This development led to the genesis of his non-profit, Irreverent Warriors and their popular "Silkies Hikes" as well as a subscription based, streaming platform called "Vet TV." Join your host Tim K. (Founder of The Veterans Project and The Caregiver Project) as he speaks with Donny about developing an entrepreneurial approach, O'Malley's approach to comedy, reintegrative issues in the veteran community, and the value of sweat equity.
