📢 Over the past 20 years, we’ve witnessed something powerful: the healing of combat-wounded Veterans not only through outdoor experiences like hunting and fishing, but also through unexpected avenues—like the art of woodturning. In this latest episode, WWIA Founder and CEO John McDaniel sits down with Tony Kopchinski, a National Guard Veteran from Kronenwetter, Wisconsin, who leads one of our most unique and deeply impactful programs, the Wisconsin Woodturning Event. Now in its 12th year, this one-of-a-kind experience introduces our Heroes to the craft of woodturning, shaping wood on a lathe into beautiful, functional pieces like bowls, plates, and game calls. But it’s more than just craftsmanship. Under Tony’s guidance, and alongside a dedicated group of skilled artisans, Veterans discover focus, purpose, and a sense of peace through the creative process. Tony’s passion for serving our Nation’s Heroes is unmistakable. Over the years, he and his team have helped create moments of healing and transformation that not only leave a lasting mark, but that have literally saved lives. His impact is deeply felt, and his story is one worth hearing. We’re honored to share Tony’s journey, his heart, and his experiences with you.

Some of the most remarkable traits that our combat-wounded Veterans share are bravery, fortitude and resilience. On this latest episode of the WWIA Podcast, we are honored to introduce you to a special guest whose journey has been fraught with numerous challenges and extreme obstacles both personally and professionally. And despite all of it, she has pushed through with strength and determination, overcome trials, and found uncommon success in life. WWIA Founder and CEO, John McDaniel is proud to welcome friend, entrepreneur, speaker, and author @serenamastin to the podcast. Serena started her life in witness protection and nine different foster homes, leading to teenage addiction and homelessness, and most recently walked through the devastation of her husband's suicide. Serena has faced unimaginable adversity. Yet, despite her challenges, she found a real sense of purpose along the way. In addition to being a visionary founder and entrepreneur of Pulse Marketing, Inc., Serena recently published her first book, Exposed: You Can't Heal When You Hide, a memoir recounting her life story in harrowing detail. In the book, Serena discusses her experiences with assault, addiction, homelessness, infidelity, mental health, and, ultimately, profound healing. Serena’s thought-provoking story encourages and empowers others to embrace challenges and do it with passion. We are excited to share her story and know it will resonate with you and inspire you.
