Veterans Salute & Coffee & Spirits

January 20, 2025

A great friend of the show, Sam Floyd from Operation Coffee, is in to update us on his business. Sam served in the Marine Corps from 2002-2006 and was deployed to Afghanistan from 2003-2004. He started Operation Coffee in 2017 after 11 years of battling mental health and struggling to adjust to civilian life. His mission is to start conversations over coffee and to help our heroes find their new mission. He recently moved into a new brick-and-mortar location in Kaukauna and is now working toward having a coffee shop where customers can enjoy a cup of joe and some baked items. When we asked what folks can do to help Sam's fellow veterans, he responded with, "Be available. Listen without planning to give advice. Be there, and be ready to listen." Then Todd McLean from Sturgeon Spirits in Oshkosh joins the show to talk a bit about the business which supports local suppliers, promotes local history, and helps to make Oshkosh a special place.
