Episode 123 - Chas Sampson and Seven Principles

In this episode I am joined by Chas Sampson, founder of Seven Principles, an organization who helps veterans with the VA claims. Chas has a background in help veterans and has now ventured into help athletes in the NFL. His journey is one to be celebrated due to his perseverance and and his willingness to embrace new ideas in order to achieve his goals. Chas was like many veterans who wanted to do 20 years in the military, but then decided that he wanted to pursue other interests. Chas explains how he diversified his portfolio and sets his hours while pursuing his dreams. Chas is an example for all veterans to follow! We end the show with the farewell "ZOT!" "ZOT!" "ZOT!" and "ROLL TODE!!!"
