The MisFitNation

By Richard LaMonica

Welcome to The MisFitNation Podcast! We started out in 2010 as a band of MisFit Soldiers on a desert plain. In the years since our bond has stayed and we have grown. With this platform, we will share stories of courage, mindset, resilience, and battling those enemies within. We will also highlight the work of Veteran entrepreneurs, Small Business owners, Authors, Musicians, and other Podcasters. While we highlight Veterans we are for everyone. We hope you will be engaged by our work and continue to support us through your listening.

Joe Templin – Human Swiss Army Knife, Author – Every Day Excellence

Welcome to our Take it Home Thursday show this week. We are glad you are back with us and look forward to hearing your thoughts on this chat.

Remember if you need help or are going through a rough patch, reach out to someone, if you do not want to feel like a burden or are embarrassed to ask for help from those in your inner circle dial 988 and take option one. Do not make a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

Joe Templin has led an eclectic life.

As one of six kids (the only normal one, he insists) growing up in a small town and spending time on the family farm, Joe’s parents (John and Barb) instilled a love of learning, the outdoors, and a healthy disrespect for authority while still simultaneously embracing traditional values of hard work and “love thy neighbor but mind your own dang business.” This is Joe’s foundation.

He was severely asthmatic but through his work ethic and love of challenge has become a martial artist and ultradistance runner. He had a speech impediment but has built a career around communicating. This habit of overcoming limitations is a theme in his life and his writings.

Joe has three hooligans (Danny, Liam, and Colin) and is a very proud member of the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity, having served multiple times as President of his local Foundation and Chapter Advisor. He has also served on the local, State, and National levels for NAIFA is a Cubmaster (the worst one ever if you ask his boys), and is involved with his local Autism Society. Serving others is important to Joe, because of how his parents raised him.

Can’t get enough of Joe? Visit The Intro Machine to read more than you can handle on how to set up a successful introduction-based business and put your excellent practice to work in your professional life.

Joe loves the Yankees. So of course he hates the Red Sawx… Poke him during the World Series at your peril!

Tony Wall – Founder and President of Noesis

Tony Wall is the founder of Noēsis (no - EE - sis), a worldwide education network, and 501(c)3, aimed at enabling humanity to replace the churn of conflict with the gift of clarity. After spending decades observing and researching human behavior and the history of humanity, Tony is an expert on the instinctual influences on modern-day behavior and how those behaviors cause many of the problems faced by our species today.

Tony brings a compelling, hopeful, and passionate message to any discussion. If an audience expects to hear about doomsday scenarios, he will be glad to surprise them. Humanity lost control by way of a process. Only by another process will we regain control. Tony is about the Process.

Tony graduated from the William Penn Charter School in Philadelphia. He then continued his education at Lake Forest College in Chicago. A Liberal Arts education ignited Tony’s interest in Existential Philosophy and demanded that Tony view the world through a starkly realistic lens.

Tony actually began his career in finance and was compelled, at the age of 56, to found Noēsis - the only non-profit of its kind. He is on a mission to make a difference for humanity.

Evan Burk - NFL Coach turned Speaker, Executive Coach, Podcast Host 

Evan Burk is a speaker, former NFL coach, and podcast host who uses the sports world as his backdrop to engage audiences with thought-provoking lessons of leadership, team-building and creating championship cultures.  

Evan Burk is not your typical football coach. Despite not playing football beyond high school and having no network in the coaching profession, Evan's unlikely football journey began as a 4th-grade coach, where he quickly worked his way to the NFL in just 6 years and included coaching for teams such as the Miami Dolphins, UCLA, and SMU.   

After spending fifteen-plus years working with the highest-performing athletes, coaches, and teams on the planet, Coach Burk uses his unique football coaching background to teach people how to utilize the same strategies in business and life that elite players and teams use to perform at a world-class level.  He also hosts his own weekly sports leadership podcast, The Highest Level, where he reveals how championship team cultures are built and the keys to leadership excellence at the highest level.

SGT Nathaniel Helmuth Combat Engineer, Husband, Father as told by Kristle Helmuth

SGT Nathaniel Helmuth Combat Engineer, Husband, Father as told by Kristle Helmuth

Kristle Helmuth is a veteran of the United States Army, mother of 3, and surviving spouse of SGT Nathaniel Helmuth. Going from dual military, to military spouse, to the caregiver of a wounded warrior, to a widow, Kristle has run the gauntlet of military experience making her life the perfect platform to advocate for and support others who might be facing the same challenges. Kristle often jokes that her life could literally be a movie, “If something was going to happen, it happened to us.”  

The last four years have been a journey of its own, as Kristle navigated finding her new normal, raising kids, going to school, and developing her career, all without her best friend, the person she built a life with. Without her amazing support system and her husband’s words, “Charlie Mike,” in her head, things could have been much worse.  

 Since losing her husband, Kristle has since completed a Bachelors in Communications, completed her MBA, and is now working with United Way of Northeast Florida’s Mission United Program, a community-based program that connects military, Veterans, and their families with the services that they need – from securing a roof over their heads, finding a post-military career, to getting their benefits and health care.   

Kristle’s number one goal is to live her life and raise her children in a way that makes him proud, and that carries on his legacy of service, and sacrifice.

Remembering Brothers from 1st Battalion 8th Marines with Christian Dominguez

Remembering Brothers from 1st Battalion 8th Marines with Christian Dominguez

Part 2 of our Memorial Day remembrance series brings us the story of the 2nd battle of Fallujah in November 2004. This battle was so big it had two operational names. Operation Phantom Fury and Operation Al-Fajr (the Dawn). The first battle was started in April of 2004 after the deaths of Blackwater security members. This operation was stopped to allow Iraq security forces to control the city. In the six months that followed multiple insurgent groups entered the city and made a stronghold. Civilians (Non-combatants) were told to evacuate as coalition forces numbering over 11,000 assembled around the city. This is where our next guest, a young Marine at the time was assembled. He was with his brothers in 1st Battalion 8th Marines waiting to go in on another of what they thought was a routine mission. That was until they realized the scope of it. These Marines went into the city fighting block to block in some of the most brutal urban fighting of the war in Iraq up till that time. For the next near month plus they fought not for themselves, but for their brothers on their sides. It was during this month that Christian Dominguez lost four Brothers he would never forget. The First one was LCPL Nate Anderson from Ohio on 12 November. The Second was LCPL William Miller from Texas on 14 November. The third and fourth happened during a house clearing operation on 19 November. They are LCPL Dimitrios Gavriel from New York and LCPL Demarkus Brown from Virginia.

Christian Dominguez has continued to serve for the past 19 years.  He began his career in the Marine Corps as an infantryman where he served as a point man for the Battle for Fallujah in 2004.  He later transitioned into the National Guard as an intelligence Warrant Officer.  Christian has completed 3 combat tours and multiple humanitarian assistance missions.

John Olsen - Author, Stranger Bridgerland

John was born and raised in Cache Valley.  At the age of 8, he began to realize that the home he lived in was peculiar. His parents still own the old farmhouse, built in the mid-1880s. Strange experiences such as phantom knocks, loud boots running the stairs, and missing objects became commonplace for him as he grew up.  With each run-in with what he called the “man in the hat,” John’s interest in the paranormal grew. His parents forbade him from telling anyone of his experiences for fear of what others in the small community would think.

He found solace in learning everything he could about his encounters from library books. As he reached his teen years, his friends would visit his home and have their own experiences.  This opened the door for him to tell others of his experiences. As he shared his extraordinary stories, friends of friends came to him sharing stories of their brushes with the supernatural.

Fueled by his own experiences with the unknown, John has spent the last 25 years interviewing and documenting first-hand accounts of those who have witnessed all kinds of strange and unusual phenomena in the western United States. The Stranger Bridgerland series contains firsthand accounts of ghosts, monsters, hauntings, glitches in the matrix, Sasquatch, and UFOs.

Dylan is an outspoken advocate on Tik Tok for bettering mental health, opening the conversation about suicide, and informing people about the causes and effects of trauma. As a mental health coach, Dylan has developed his work to be the safety net for the over-burdened and controversial mental health system that can leave people feeling isolated, misunderstood, and even drugged. Dylan is attempting to bridge the gap between lived experience and professional mental health support to keep people from falling through the cracks.  


His diverse experience from losing his father to suicide at 6 years old, the child abuse and bullying that followed, his wartime experience in Afghanistan, and the life-changing injuries that followed brought him to the brink of taking his own life at 25. Since that day in March 2015, Dylan has learned to overcome suicide ideation and PTSD in his own way, and more importantly, he has learned how to enjoy life even through the ever-present adversity that life delivers.

Juliet Rose - Author

Juliet Rose - Author

By the time she was ten years old, Juliet Rose knew she wanted to be a writer. She entertained neighborhood kids with her stories after school and with the support of her mother got her first typewriter. Life had other plans and after the death of her mother when Juliet was eleven she put those dreams on hold. Over the decades she has picked up the proverbial pen time and again, writing about her life experiences including the cancer diagnosis and subsequent passing of her four-year-old daughter.  

Focusing on fiction currently, she is driven to bring to life characters from many walks of life and the struggles faced in modern society. Her writing style is open and fluid, giving the characters the ability to shine as the truth of their own story. Her works are honest and sometimes brutally painful but in the end, her characters are given the voice which needs to be heard. 

Juliet is a New York native living in the mountains of Georgia. She has lived all over the United States and Mexico and doesn’t plan to stop seeing the world beyond her front doorstep. She spends her time rescuing animals, painting, and writing. Her dream is to get an RV to explore hidden gems and find the best vegan restaurants.

Teri Brown - Author, Sunflowers Beneath the Snow

​Born in Athens, Greece as an Air Force brat, Teri M Brown came into this world with an imagination full of stories to tell. She now calls the North Carolina coast home, and the peaceful nature of the sea has been a great source of inspiration for her creativity.

Not letting 2020 get the best of her, Teri chose to go on an adventure that changed her outlook on life. She and her husband, Bruce, rode a tandem bicycle across the United States from Astoria, Oregon to Washington DC, successfully raising money for Toys for Tots. She learned she is stronger than she realized and capable of anything she sets her mind to.

Teri is a wife, mother, grandmother, and author who loves word games, reading, bumming on the beach, taking photos, singing in the shower, hunting for bargains, ballroom dancing, playing bridge, and mentoring others.
