Boone Cutler is an author, columnist, music video director and Warfighter Rights leader. He holds the distinguished honor of being the first nationally recognized radio talk show personality who is also a combat veteran from the current war. Boone’s message is simple: “America has lost faith in what they used to believe were the heroes of Hollywood, America has become disgusted with the political climate of today so the only place to turn to and trust for leadership is the Warfighter.” Boone began writing his Iraq War-inspired autobiographical account of what he experienced, Voodoo in Sadr City, during his combat tour in Iraq, and completed it during his two-year recovery from wartime injuries at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, during the Neglect Scandal of 2007. After recovery, Boone began to see a major void in the Warfighter community. He decided to approach Fox News affiliate 99.1 FM Talk with the concept of a new show that focused on national, international and social events based on the Warfighter’s perspective.

Retraining Your Brain with Morry Zelcovitch

Morry Zelcovitch is The World's First And Only Brainwave Entrainment Engineer. As a child Morry had many problems ranging from hearing thousands of voices in his head to severe depression. He also had a very big mouth, was always getting into trouble and was unbelievably accident prone. Something inside him made him start looking into the brainwave entrainment field when he began to observe that sometimes, time would seem to move faster and more pleasantly than other times. He eventually made the connection that when time seemed to move quicker the sounds he was hearing were more rhythmic in nature. And when time seemed to painfully stand still, the surrounding sounds were far more disjointed. After many years of using other people’s products, with some limited success, he was determined to figure out why these recordings seemed to work only in a minor way, when all of the research he read suggested the effects should be more dominant than what he was experiencing. He decided that the best route to understanding was learning at the feet of an expert in the field. So he contacted the world's foremost expert in the field of brainwave entrainment and discovered some invaluable secrets that he could not get anywhere else. Now he has conquered those extra voices in his head and severe depression, and his mission in life is to help others improve the quality of their lives without the use of dangerous and habit-forming drugs.

Live in Forward Motion with Chase Fisher

Blenders Eyewear was founded in 2012 by Chase Fisher. The idea spawned when Chase went to see one of his favorite DJs at a Downtown San Diego nightclub. His neon green “beater” sunglasses received an overwhelmingly positive response, and what started out as a night full of close friends and good music quickly escalated into a full-fledged obsession with sunglasses. After further research Chase learned that one company lords over approximately 80% of the global sunglasses market, he knew it was a broken system begging for disruption. And disrupt he did. Chase believes in the hustle, he started a grassroots effort buoyed by social media and his SDSU network, selling shades out of his backpack while doubling as a surf coach during the company’s first year. He leveraged his background as a sponsored athlete (surfing, snowboarding) to develop sunnies with scintillating style and adventurous spirit—the visual embodiment of the company’s "live in forward motion" maxim. It’s been this steadfast self-determination—and the combined efforts of the San Diego-based company’s 32-person team—that’s established Blenders as one of America’s fastest-growing sunglasses brands today. In addition, Blenders worked with Direct Relief to produce 30,000 pairs of safety goggles to help fill the shortages. These goggles were supplied to regional and state hospitals that were hit the hardest. In the month of April, a portion of all proceeds were donated to Direct Relief to support their cause. Our goal was to raise $100,000. And with your help, Blenders reached their goal! You can check out his website at blenderseyewear.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
