For Borne the Battle, we have a small team of interns that transcribe previous episodes so those with hearing loss can still read our episodes. It is finals week for many universities around the country and we will be soon losing that important cog of our team.  So, before our interns left for the year, I wanted to reward them with their own episode. We had our intern, aspiring podcaster Zach Wheeler, go and get another interview. Back in episode 130, Zach interviewed Robert Freedman, his professor from Johns Hopkins University. For his “final” we challenged him to go find an interview off his campus. From there, he took the ball, ran with it, and interviewed Joseph Pennington, a former Navy Seabee and the current Director of Military Programs for AllState. FUN FACT: ALLSTATE WAS STARTED BY A VETERAN Joseph talks about how his grandfather, a WWII Veteran, inspired him to raise his right hand. He also talks about his transition, his experience in building military programs for various companies, and how that experience led him to his current role at AllState. Enjoy. #BtBattle Veteran of the Week: Marine Veteran Megan McClung Additional Links for this Episode: https://vsfs.state.gov/ https://bit.ly/2DucCtZ https://bit.ly/2V2gJs3 https://bit.ly/2WchKKw https://www.blogs.va.gov/VAntage/59350/march-memorial-day-va-carry-load-honor-fallen/ https://www.cnet.com/news/microsoft-helping-veterans-rehabilitate-with-xbox-adaptive-controller/
