VetPhoenix was not built in comfort — it was forged in abandonment.
In this powerful episode, Billy and Hugh sit down with Navy Veteran and VetPhoenix founder Manuel Gomez, whose story embodies resilience, accountability, and rebirth.

After facing incarceration and being silenced by the very institutions meant to serve him, Manuel refused to let betrayal define his destiny. What began as survival in the shadows became a vision to transform despair into collective strength.

The name VetPhoenix carries that truth: out of fire and ash, we rise again.

From the moral injuries of war and the stigma of incarceration to the devastating toll of suicide among veterans, this conversation explores how one man’s pain became purpose — and how an entire movement was born.

Nemo Residuo — No One Left Behind.
Where systems failed, VetPhoenix built pathways. Where society turned its back, they opened doors.
