In this episode my boy Abismael Gonzalez joins us.  Abi is a Veteran of the United States Army, an active instructor for the US Army Coast Guard, and a Port Authority Police Officer.  He enlisted about a month before 9/11, the events of which would irreversibly shape our world.  We take a deep dive into his experiences being deployed to Afghanistan for 12 months, followed by being deployed to Iraq for another 15 months.  If you’ve ever wondered what War is really like … take a listen and join me in thanking Abi for his service. 

In this special edition episode of the Spun Today Podcast, you’ll hear a collection of firsthand experiences, from New Yorkers that lived through the events of 9/11.  Memories are fleeting and have a way of fading away into a once-upon-a-time haze that we seldom revisit and when we do, they just seem like surreal experiences.  I think that an important component to history not repeating itself, is continuing to share and speak about our learned experiences.  Where were you during the events of 9/11?

In this throwback Spun Today Podcast episode I release three (out of five) separate recordings from my recent business trip to India (don’t worry the focus is on all the cool sh*t I got to do and see outside of work).  Come along with me on my first trip to the other side of the Planet!
