New for 2026: Friday Military Creator Intensive & LIVE Podcast Experience - August 14
Before CPO Spouse Connect begins on Saturday, military spouses and military-connected individuals are invited to join us for the inaugural Military Creator & Leadership Intensive and VIP Evening Reception & LIVE Podcast Experience.
Traveling to a big national conference may not be in the budget this year, and we get it. Between deployments, PCS moves, and the realities of military family life, it's rarely that simple. After spending years attending conferences and learning from the best in podcasting, publishing, and the creator economy, we built the event we wished had existed when we were starting out and scaling. It would have saved us years of trial and error, not to mention a lot of money.
The 🎙️Military Creator & Leadership Intensive is a hands-on, action-oriented experience designed to help military-connected individuals gain clarity, build confidence, and create momentum. Hosted by Wendy Poling, founder of My Military Life and co-host of The Military Spouse Show, the Intensive features strategic workshops and sessions on podcasting, publishing, business building, leadership, financial confidence, mindset, and monetization.🚀
The experience continues into the evening with a ✨ VIP Reception and LIVE Podcast Experience 🎤 featuring The Goode Show hosted by Surinder Goode. More than a podcast recording, the evening is designed to bring together military-connected leaders, veterans, military spouses, entrepreneurs, and community members for meaningful conversations, new connections, and a shared celebration of the stories that inspire and strengthen our community.
Open to military-connected individuals from all branches of service. Separate registration required.
