Navy veteran Rick Martagon joins Jack, Jake, and Mike on Strength From Service to share his journey from military service to his mission today: helping veterans and civilians alike explore the trades through Building Strong Communities, a nonprofit that partners with all the union trades in the area.

Rick explains how programs like Helmets to Hardhats create a clear path for veterans to transition from military life into high-demand careers while finding purpose, brotherhood, and stability.

If you’re a veteran—or anyone considering the trades—this episode is packed with insight, opportunity, and real-world advice.
