Listen to an in depth interview with Veteran Founders' new co-host, Cynthia Kao, who worked with Josh in Operation Code on a separate episode. For today, welcome her as she and Josh interview Ian Faison, A West Point grad, Ian didn't care for boats or planes, so the Army was natural. His father did serve in the military and as a sophomore in high school, Ian was encouraged to check out West Point. He was nominated by Barbara Lee from Oakland, California. It was unusual for Oakland people to go to West Point, but Ian was in sports and an Eagle Scout, so his resume worked. In sales, Ian understood he was good at connecting people and helping get the word out for a client. That got him started on the path to offering a way for B2B companies to reach out to their audience through podcasts. So the more dots he made, the more connections too.\n\nVeteran Founder Podcast with your host Josh Carter \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 every Friday at 1:00pm pacific time on Startup Radio Network at startupradionetwork.com
