In this quick episode of The Goode Show, I’m bringing you a few conversations straight from Nick Lannon’s Nightly Debrief in Pacific Palisades — a room full of storytellers, veterans, and creatives who are making serious moves in the entertainment world. I caught up with some incredible guests including: ⭐ Hilary Barraford — actor, producer, and passionate military advocate who continues to use her platform to support the veteran community. ⭐ David B. Meadows — Navy SEAL veteran whose journey from blowing things up to performing Shakespeare proves that the transition from warrior to artist can take some fascinating turns. ⭐ Eric Zaragoza — Marine Corps veteran turned assistant director, whose work has appeared on PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, Netflix, Amazon, and Fox Action Channel. His directorial debut Dead Space: Chase to Death even earned him a prestigious Vimeo award. These are quick interviews, but powerful ones. Veterans stepping into creative industries, telling new stories, and continuing to serve in a completely different arena. Give it a listen — and meet some truly fascinating people who are redefining what life after service can look like.
