Welcome to Helping The Brave, a 30-minute podcast hosted by veterans Ed Parcaut and Amy Tietmeyer, where we provide a supportive space for veterans to share their experiences and offer practical advice and resources to navigate post-military life. In this episode, we are joined by Anthony Schuman, a US Army veteran who transitioned from the military into the nonprofit sector, where he coordinated fundraising events with local and national businesses, trained chapter leaders in 42 states, and developed a franchise model for non-profits.

Anthony will share how his transition led him to comedy, and how he uses humor to cope with the challenges of post-military life. If you're a veteran struggling with the transition to civilian life, join our community of veterans and experts to find support and resources that can help you on your journey. Listen in as we explore the ups and downs of life after the military with Anthony Schuman, only on Helping The Brave.
