Military Creator Intensive + LIVE Podcast Experience

Military Creator & Leadership Intensive | 8 AM - 2 PM

VIP Reception & LIVE Podcast Experience | 4 PM - 8 PM

Full Experience Pass | Includes both events

By day, aspiring creators, entrepreneurs, and leaders gather to build clarity, launch ideas, and map their next chapter. By evening, the military-connected community comes together to celebrate, connect, and experience The Goode Show podcast live for the first time.

Whether you're here to transform your passion into purpose, connect with an incredible community, or both — there's a seat for you.

8 AM - 2 PM

You've built a life around showing up — for your family, your community, your country. But somewhere along the way your own ideas, your own voice, and your own ambitions got put on the back burner.

Maybe you've started something and stopped. Maybe you have an idea you've been sitting on for years. Maybe you're not even sure what you want to build — you just know there's something more.

The inaugural Military Creator & Leadership Intensive is a full-day, hands-on experience designed specifically for military-connected individuals who are ready to build something meaningful — a podcast, a platform, a business, a book, or simply a clear vision for what comes next.

Led by Wendy Poling, podcast pioneer and founder of My Military Life and co-host of The Military Spouse Show, this is not a passive seminar. You will work. You will plan. You will leave with a completed 90-day action plan and the tools to execute it.

What You'll Walk Away With:

• A 90-day vision mapped out through a hands-on Vision Board workshop
• Deep clarity on your unique strengths and competitive advantage
• A platform strategy tailored to your message that compounds over time
• Guidance on podcasting, publishing, and digital products, leveraging the power of AI
• Financial foundations every creator needs to build sustainably
• Your first 5 podcast episodes mapped and ready to record
• A completed workbook — yours to keep and reference long after the day ends
• Lunch included

This Is For You If:

• You're military-connected and ready to build something meaningful.
• You've been thinking about launching a podcast, writing a book, or growing a platform.
• You want clarity, not just inspiration.
• You're done waiting for the right time.

This is the day you stop waiting, stop consuming more content and you start creating.

Once the day session is complete, celebrate your progress and get an immersive, unforgettable LIVE podcast experience by attending the evening programming.

4 PM - 8 PM

The day concludes with a special VIP Reception & LIVE Podcast Experience hosted by Surinder Goode, host of The Goode Show and 2025 Veteran VALOR Military Spouse of the Year.

If you've ever wanted to be part of a live podcast recording, this is your moment. The Goode Show has spent 90+ episodes amplifying the voices of military and veteran spouses, senior U.S. Navy leadership, and military-connected advocates from all walks of life — and on August 14th, you'll have a front row seat.

Guests will enjoy an evening of connection, conversation, and celebration while participating in a live audience recording and networking with military-connected leaders, creators, entrepreneurs, veterans, military spouses and community supporters.

Whether you're a longtime listener of The Goode Show or discovering it for the first time, the evening is designed to feel less like an event and more like a gathering of people who get it — the moves, the sacrifices, the resilience, and the incredible stories that come with military life.

You'll get behind the scenes access at what it looks like to bring a podcast to life.

The evening includes refreshments, light bites, and opportunities to engage with featured guests in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

Featured Guests:

• Amy Forsythe, author of Heroes Live Here: A Tribute to Camp Pendleton Marines Since 9/11, former USMC Combat Correspondent and Public Affairs Chief
• More guests to be announced

YOUR SEAT IS WAITING

Every great platform, podcast, and purpose-driven career starts with a single decision — to show up.

August 14th at Liberty Station is that moment. Whether you leave with a new connection, the clarity you've been searching for, or a full launch plan in hand — something shifts when you're in the right room with the right people. And if that room happens to include a live podcast recording with some of the most inspiring voices in the military community — even better.
This is that room.

We'll see you there.
