Who We Are
Our Story
Vegas Veteran Voices was founded by U.S. Navy veteran Brenton Mann and U.S. Marine Corps veteran Ronnie Long to create something real, a platform that goes beyond headlines and hashtags to spotlight veterans rediscovering meaning through passion, creativity, and community.
What began as a podcast has evolved into a movement: showcasing vets who turn pain into purpose, and proving there’s life, powerful, messy, inspiring life, after the military. You matter.
What We Do
We don’t just talk, we show up. Every episode features Brenton and Ronnie jumping into the action with their guests: whether that’s sparring at a self-defense studio, cooking in a veteran-owned kitchen, or rewiring identity through stand-up, storytelling, or side hustles.
Each story is captured on film and mic to remind others that recovery, reinvention, and reconnection are possible, and sometimes even hilarious. Your story matters.
Why It Matters
Too many veterans feel invisible once the uniform comes off. The structure is gone, the mission fades, and the world moves on while you’re still figuring out who you are without the rank, the unit, or the job title. That silence, the one nobody warns you about, can be deafening.
Vegas Veteran Voices is a counterpunch to that silence. We’re not just telling stories, we’re rebuilding identity, one conversation at a time. You belong.
