Hey, zero block 30 listeners, you can find us every Tuesday and Friday on Apple podcasts,

Spotify and YouTube. Pride members can also listen ad free on Amazon music.

Today's episode of zero block 30 is brought to you by our beloved friends at Starbucks.

Starbucks is actually sending us on a trip to Seattle where we can go in there.

Starting tomorrow, I'm super excited. We're going to be doing all kinds of stuff.

Starbucks and our partnership is a little bit different than most that you'll hear

like on bar stool podcast or podcast really anywhere because usually we're asking you to buy

something for just to pay and something. We're not asking you to do any of that. We're just

asking you to go to Starbucks.com slash veterans and check out all that they're doing for veterans.

Like the fact that they've hired 17,000 veterans and military spouses since 2013 and they're

increasing their commitment to 25,000 by 2025. They have partnered with team Red, White, and Blue,

team Rimmukkon and the Michigan tenures and us like they're doing all kinds of stuff. Starbucks has

45 military stores and military community is across America with 132 by 2022.

Military family stores are a place where the veteran community can work unwind and connect.

These stores and others host military Mondays where local veteran service organizations

provide transition guidance and information for military spouses. Military spouses are our own

hung heroes of armed forces and I'm really excited that when the whole squad comes down,

well, the whole squad minus Connor. Sorry, he's got other shit going on. But when the whole

squad comes down to San Antonio, Kate is going to interview my wife. My wife is going to be on

an episode talking about military spouses, which should be very fun. I'm actually kind of nervous

about what my wife will say because no one, including like my drill instructor from the past,

no one gives me shit like my wife. So you'll wait. Yes. I've got my questions.
