Farmer Veteran Coalition releases third and final episode with Vets in Ag Podcast
Farmer Veteran Coalition is happy to announce that episode 3 of our three-part series partnership with Vets in Ag Podcast is now available. In the podcast, hosted by Michael DeSa of AGD Consulting, we explore the stories and insights from the military veteran and supporter communities who are leading the way for vets in agribusiness, agtech, and agri-preneurship. We swap stories, talk ag, and show how the grass-roots nature of the ag community can be a natural fit for the military veteran.
This is the third and final episode of the three-part series which showcases partnerships between FVC and organizations offering programs in agriculture tailored for military veterans. We interview stakeholders within the organization as well as military veterans who participated in its programs.
Our guests for this episode are Keith King, Founder and CEO at National Veteran Business Development Council (NCBDC) and Tyler Evans, US Marine Corps veteran and Founder of Brookside Plant Farm. The NVBDC is a national nonprofit focused on certifying veteran-owned businesses for the purposes of connecting them with their corporate members to pursue commercial opportunities. Tyler is currently working on cyber security but plans to leverage his certification from the NVBDC and to grow his nursey business in the coming years.
You’ll hear a lot about the entrepreneurial spirit in this episode, which is of course important when starting a business, but the humility through which Keith and Tyler communicate their own personal uncertainties around starting businesses is as equally important.
For more information about NVBDC, visit www.nvbdc.org. You can reach Keith on his LinkedIn or by email at kking@nvbdc.org.
Tyler’s nursery business, Brookside Plant Farms, can be found at www.brooksideplantfarm.com. Product and details are forthcoming!
