Lisa Steptoe, spouse of Ron Steptoe, is a Board Member of The Steptoe Group. A West Point grad, Lisa and Ron met there and have gone through their trials and tribulations in the military together. Beginning as a computer science major, she ended up in math and electrical engineering. Ron always had the vision of leading his own organization, so after their service, they divided their time between planning and keeping a job to keep the lights on. Lisa was "optimized" out of her job, and her generous severance package was the startup capital for the start of The Steptoe Group. Having endured their own post-military challenges, the Steptoes wanted to bridge the gap between healthcare services and research and the veterans that need those.\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
