Pearland Edition- Meet the Candidate: Tony Carbone for Pearland Mayor

https://www.buzzsprout.com/2013181/fan_mail/new Pearland is growing fast so the big question is: can we keep what makes it special while everything scales up? I sit down with Tony Carbone sixth-generation resident, CPA, longtime council member, and mayoral candidate for a real, no-nonsense conversation about the future of the city. We break down his four priorities: public safety, infrastructure, flood mitigation, and affordability, and what those actually mean for your taxes, water bills, and daily life. We also get into the issues residents care about most traffic on 518, zoning debates, drainage after Harvey, and how technology is shaping public safety. If you want a clear, practical look at where Pearland is headed and what’s at stake in this election, this episode is for you. Please like share and follow..

How Veterans Use Water And Brotherhood To Heal PTSD

https://www.buzzsprout.com/2013181/fan_mail/new Trauma does not always hit all at once. Sometimes it stacks up quietly until one small moment at home becomes the blow-up you never saw coming. I sits down with Matthew, a Navy veteran, Houston police officer, and executive director of the Birdwell Foundation, to talk about what PTSD really looks like after the uniform and what actually helps when willpower is not enough.  Matthew shares a deeply personal story about surviving a shipwreck near Bahrain, avoiding water for years, and then finding calm again through fishing. That healing turned into action with “Fishing for Peace,” a program that takes veterans and first responders out on the water, teaches fishing and basic boating skills, and helps people build a reliable outlet they can use with their kids, their buddies, or on a hard day when their nervous system will not shut off.  We also dig into the Birdwell Foundation for PTSD and Camp Valor in Conroe, Texas: a faith-based recovery camp built on brotherhood, structure, and peer support. Matthew explains who the program is for, how the intake process works, why they require a PTSD diagnosis, and how chapters in multiple states provide free support.  Please like share and follow..

How Military Brotherhood, Hard Lessons, And Faith Built A Second Life

https://www.buzzsprout.com/2013181/fan_mail/new In this episode of Charlie Mike The Podcast, we sit down with Ryan, an 11B Infantryman who served with the 10th Mountain Division and deployed to Kosovo, Iraq, and Afghanistan. After years of living at the speed of war, Ryan faced a different kind of battle when he came home—one that nearly cost lives and forced him to confront addiction, accountability, and the long road to sobriety. Now approaching ten years sober, Ryan shares his journey of rebuilding his life, rediscovering faith, and finding purpose again through service, community leadership, and a new mission in cybersecurity helping fight child exploitation. This conversation is about brotherhood, redemption, and the truth that Charlie Mike—continue the mission—isn’t just a radio call. It’s a way of life. Please like share and follow..
