| 0:00.0 | Hey, zero block 30 listeners, you can find us every Tuesday and Friday on Apple podcasts, |
| 0:05.0 | Spotify and YouTube. Pride members can also listen ad free on Amazon music. |
| 0:10.0 | Today's episode of zero block 30 is brought to you by our friends at Starbucks. In 2004, |
| 0:14.5 | there has been a persistent rumor that Starbucks does not support veterans. That's just not true. |
| 0:19.5 | They have always supported the veterans. They've been giving coffee, they've been giving |
| 0:22.6 | hiring jobs, they've been doing all kinds of stuff. They have since August of 2018, |
| 0:27.3 | they've hired over 17,000 veterans and military spouses with the plan on adding 25,000 by 2025. |
| 0:35.6 | They're doing great things all over the place like donating 2.5 million cups of coffee |
| 0:39.7 | in the 17 years that we've been at war in this country. 2.5 million cups of coffee. That's |
| 0:46.3 | a long time and 17 years is a long time too and that's what we're going to be talking about today. |

| 1:03.7 | across America with 132 to open by 2022. Military spouses are the unsung hero of the armed forces |
| 1:11.4 | and they serve this dedicated community by providing meaningful career opportunities, |
| 1:15.6 | ability to join any store across the country whenever a family is transferred. Which is huge |
| 1:19.8 | because Kate and I were down here in San Antonio. We actually talked with one of those family members |
| 1:26.0 | and she said one of the biggest benefits of her working in Starbucks is that unlike the beginning |
| 1:30.6 | of her husband's military career, she was nervous about starting a job because she didn't know if she |
| 1:35.8 | was going to have to quit it in two or three years. Now when you rise above in the ranks of Starbucks, |
| 1:40.2 | even if you start out as a barista or a cleaning person or whatever job is at the very entry level, |
| 1:46.1 | you can move on to a different military base of community and find a job that you can transfer into |
