    Episode 3: Chef Andrew Gruel
    Jun 18 2021
    American Chef Andrew Gruel is originally from New Jersey, and is a television personality currently based in Orange County, California. He is the founder, CEO, and executive chef of Slapfish, a seafood restaurant based out of Huntington Beach, California; Big Parm, a pizza restaurant in Tustin, California; and Two Birds, a chicken restaurant in Irvine, California.

    Recently, Chef Gruel engaged with MSNBC television host, Stephanie Ruhle, where he was indirectly accused of using the American Rescue Plan’s Paycheck Protection Program to underpay workers, only to benefit himself. As a highly successful business owner who has raised over $400k to help struggling restaurant owners during this pandemic, and one who has not had to lay off a SINGLE employee, Chef Gruel is a model citizen and business owner who has demonstrated that exemplary leadership and determination can solve more problems in today’s country than big government politicians can.

    Episode 5: Karli Klinger
    Jul 2 2021
    Unbeknownst to most of the American public, not everyone who joins the military is a trigger puller, or a Navy SEAL. In fact, over 90% of the American military is composed of just ordinary people, performing extraordinary tasks. Meet SGT Karli Klinger. Originally a medic in the Wyoming National Guard, she decided to push her limits and achieve her dream job: An active duty Army Flight Paramedic. A survivor of sexual assault, sexual harassment, and even overcoming members of her own chain of command telling her she would never amount to anything; join me as I discuss with SGT Klinger about personal resilience. That when someone tells us NO, that it just makes the fire inside us grow exponentially!
