Guests: Brandon Van Dalen, Chris Vincent

We start the hour talking about Freedom Freefall, a skydiving initiative that supports veterans and suicide prevention. The event, organized by Andy Van Handel and Chris Vincent, pairs veterans with skydiving experiences to provide therapeutic relief and camaraderie. Alongside, local musician Strategic shares his journey of creating children's music aimed at fostering family bonds and reducing screen time. Emphasizing the power of music and community, the episode weaves tales of courage, support, and artistic pursuits.

Then Brandon Van Dalen, also known as Strategic, joins the guys as this week's featured musician in the LIVE Music Series. Brandon, who's also a teacher, writes acoustic-style songs for every listening audience. He is working on his second kids' album with songs to help teach kids life lessons, and performs "Showta," a song about how cutting screen time is better for you and your family.
