#26 Such a Great Story, We Brought Him Back to Tell the Rest - David Molina, Operation Code
Growing up picking fruit and living in a migrant camp, David's Mom and the rest of the kids made a move up to northern Washington with basically nothing. They kept working the fields the rest of David's youth and the family continues to work the fields. He worked his way through college and since he lived in Mt. Vernon Washington, there happened to be a lot of Hispanic military and veterans. He got to know and respect them and wound up enlisting with a friend. After his service, he wanted to use his GI Bill to go to code school and was told he couldn't. He began lobbying government and communities, got momentum, and Operation Code, a non-profit, was born to help train Veterans who wanted to learn to code.\n\nVeteran Founder Podcast with your hosts Josh Carter and Carmen Nazario\n\nWe record the Felony Inc Podcast inside NedSpace in the Bigfoot Podcast Studio in beautiful downtown Portland.\n\nAudio engineer, mixer and podcast editor is Allon Beausoleil\n\nShow logo was designed by Carolyn Main\n\nWebsite was designed by Cameron Grimes\n\nProduction assistant is Chelsea Lancaster\n\nTheme music: Artist: Tipsy Track: Kadonka Album: Buzzz Courtesy of Ipecac Records\n\n10% of gross revenue at Startup Radio Network goes to support women entrepreneurs in developing countries thru kiva.org/lender/markgrimes\n\nListen to the Veteran Founder Podcast live on-air every Friday at 1:00pm pacific time on Startup Radio Network at startupradionetwork.com
