Our Mission

Growing up in eastern Washington, Mr. Philip Folsom didn't have the grades for college or the sense of purpose to find his own path forward. Looking for mentorship and direction, Philip joined the Army and wound up trained in three different career fields in four years. He adapted well to the military lifestyle, found the mentorship he craved, and built a solid foundation for the rest of his life, but Philip knew his time was up after his initial enlistment.  

It took quite a while for Philip to find the right fit for himself after the Army. He bounced around from one unfulfilling job to the next, moved to California, and even tried the National Guard. He still couldn't find his people. When he took a job on a ropes course, all of that changed.  The people he was around shattered his world view and altered how he saw himself and others. Utilizing his new mindset, Philip got involved in the veteran space, started his own business, and has now written his second book. Looking back, Philip knows that none of it would've been possible without the foundation built through his time in uniform. Plus: wolves, prison nightmares, drones, Chaucer by the fire, and so much more!  

In the Free Fire Area, Dan and Roger have some thoughts on the AI (SI?) boom and the push for and against data centers. Do they have a definitive solution to such complex issues?
