In this episode Joe is joined by Army Veteran and entrepreneur William Morden. William shares the challenges he faced as a young Veteran during his transition from Active Duty and how he eventually ended up as a freight broker. It was after William started his own car shipping business that he noticed a need to help military families with the cost of moving. Along with Mike Feuerhelm, he founded Transport for Troops, a nonprofit offering assistance to military families to help cover out of pocket PCS expenses.

About Our Guest  

William joined the Army in 2003 and served in Iraq from 2004-2005 with the 1st Battalion, 14th Infantry Regiment as a 60mm mortar gunner. During his deployment, 1/14 traversed the entire country serving as QRF for areas ranging from Najaf, Tikrit, and Samara in the south to Kirkuk, Mosul, and Tallafar in the north. After 14 months, he returned stateside and was honorably discharged in 2006. He stated a car shipping business in 2011 where he provided thousands of military families with assistance in their PCS moves in the form of discounted rates. In 2013, he met Mike Feuerhelm, and together, they started what would become Transport for Troops. In 2018, Transport for Troops received its 501(c)(3) determination from the IRS, and to date, they have helped 335 families cover the costs of shipping their POVs.
