Bryan Jacobs founded Vets2Success as a Non-profit program that creates programs for veterans to rehabilitate to their communities through food an brew programs. This organizations purpose is to inspire, mentor, educate, and change the lives of homeless and displaced veterans and impact the communities in which they live.
This program was created after the loss of the Bryan’s younger brother to veteran suicide, as well as the founder’s personal battle with readjusting back into his local community. With food and brew as his guiding passion he shows veterans a path they to can share and have a new purpose in life through something they love.
I met Bryan at the San Antonino Veterans Beverage Competition and was immediately impressed with the work he was doing and his passion for helping our veterans get on their feet after their service ends. I have been doing TSP for 10 years now, in that time 98% of our guests request to come on the air. I very seldom reach out and invite anyone, Bryan is one of those in the small handful of exceptions to this rule. When I met him I knew I wanted to help him tell his story. Tune in today and you will understand why.

Thanks Jack for bringing Bryan on today, I’m going through some career changes/choices right now, timing couldn’t be better. Highlighting having a purpose while serving really resonated with me, thanks again, keep up the good work.
Brian,
As much as everyone in FMF makes fun of you guys, you will never find a group that Marines have more respect for and will come to the defense of. Thanks for your service and for protecting my brothers.
Thank you, Jack, episode 2334 was f-ing awesome! All though I picked a bad time to listen ( cooking lunch), almost burned it up, when stopped to listen. Keep up the good work, brother.
P.S Maybe you could make an extra spot for one of your workshops and make it available to his organization and suggest to other people to do the same. Yea I know it’s easy for me to tell you what you should do with your time and money.
AWESOME SHOW!!! So glad you put him on. What wonderful work you do Bryan. Got it shared and telling all my friends about it. I’m in the PNW in southwest WA.
