Our Mission

We started Tracer Burnout with a simple idea: a platform for military veterans to share their stories of service. By inviting veterans to speak about their experiences, we hope to help them feel heard, to know their service matters, to preserve their memories for future generations, and to provide civilians with a better understanding of life in the service.

we need your support

Your financial support helps us bring the stories of veterans to everyone and preserve the memories of their service for future generations. Consider a monthly contribution.

Episode 0038 - Joe "Bulldog" Adcox

"Life is a sport; be good at it."

In this episode, Marine Corps veteran, Mr. Joe "Bulldog" Adcox, joins us in our virtual studio to tell us about a couple of years of hard living after high school leading him to 20 years in the Corps, how he knew he was in it for the long haul very early on, why wearing "the hat" doesn't make you a Drill Instructor, and the leadership principles he learned as a Marine that he now employs at Bulldog Essential Fitness.

In the Free Fire Area, we pay tribute to a couple of entertainment icons and then discuss some of their favorite podcasts and YouTube channels.

Episode 0037 - Jeff Zell

“You are not defined by your situation.”

We sit down with Air Force veteran and South Carolina State Senator, Mr. Jeff Zell, and talk about his childhood struggles in Ohio, his twin brother inspiring him to enlist, how setting incremental goals ensured his success, and how a corndog vending carny came to be responsible for countless millions of dollars in munitions and ordnance.

In the Free Fire Area, it's pistols at dawn as Jeff joins us in discussing why dueling should be brought back!
