I had the privilege of sitting down with Ed Nolan, I consider the godfather of The Arena Training Facility. Ed brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table, with a distinguished military career serving in the 75th Ranger Regiment.

We discuss his time in the military to his current role as the driving force behind the  2,300 acre facility here in Georgia. He also shares his frustrations with US veteran healthcare industry and offers a unique perspective on the current state of the US military after COVID-19.

Enjoy and thanks for listening to another episode of After Dark.
