The Mil2Vet Veteran Podcast
Hosted by Yonatan “Yogi” Hernandez & Chris Elder
Real stories. Real solutions. Real veterans.

We created Mil2Vet to spotlight the voices of our community—active duty, veterans, and military families navigating the transition back to civilian life. We talk about what others won’t: trauma, purpose, VA red tape, family, entrepreneurship, and how to build a meaningful life after service.

You’ll also hear from guest hosts like:
• Retired Navy Veteran Don Nuccio
• Veteran Advocate Christina Matila
• Veteran Advocate Megan Langston, founder of Human Works, a nonprofit partner supporting Mil2Vet’s mission

We host live sessions including:
🎙️ ScuttleButt with Megan Langston – raw, no-BS convos for the modern veteran
🎙️ Veterans’ Series Forum with Christina Matila – deep dives into transition, benefits, and community resources

Every episode is built to empower, connect, and equip veterans with tools to thrive—not just survive.

Be part of the mission.
