Veterans Success Club

Joe O’Connor

At the age of 14 Joe O’Connor was involved in a serious near fatal road incident that left him in a wheelchair for a year. Undaunted, Joe resumed his life and achieved things he was told were not physically possible. Then at the age of 37 whilst on selection with the UK’s Elite Special Forces (S.A.S.), He was blown off a mountain ridge during a military training exercise, falling some 400 feet, breaking his neck, leading to two spinal injury specialists determining a prognosis of lifelong paralysis. One thing Joe recognized, is these experiences presented him with an opportunity to choose how his life would pan out and, on both occasions, he chose to move forward using each incident as his guide to achieve greater success. He refused to accept what fate seemed to have handed him. On both occasions he made a conscious decision to improvise, adapt and overcome and, in doing so, transformed his life. Joe holds the personal proof that every single pivotal moment in your life, gives you the opportunity to choose how your life turns out - rather than let life just happen to you. Does that make sense? Joe has been coaching wealth management and financial strategies for over 35 years reaching over 5,000 people. Of those, 80 per cent have been veterans and business entrepreneurs. His programs have helped people all over the world to become financially free and created many millionaires. His is the founder of the “Transformation for Veterans” nonprofit – aimed at helping military veterans and ambitious business owners to increase their knowledge and achieve greater success and financial independence. Because of his military background and all that he has been through in life, overcoming challenge after challenge, Joe understands the unique challenges and triumphs you face – no matter your background. Amen! Joe was finally able to fulfill his personal mission to complete the New York City Marathon… amen! Help me welcome to the program, Joe O’Connor!  Joe, I’ve been looking forward to this conversation since we first connected, brother! Share your story with us… What was your life like after that? When did you first start to come up with the idea to help other veterans? What is the difference between the “Transformer Lifestyle Company” and the work you do with veterans? Can you share a little bit about some of the programs you have that help people, veterans and non-vets, to achieve their dreams and goals in business? I wasn’t in Special Forces… but I was an officer in the Cavalry. So I’m familiar with the “Pathfinder” symbology in your course that goes by that name. In the few minutes we have left, tell us about your non-profit and how you help vets.. Joe, this is all so interesting. How can we get more information on your programs and services? If someone wanted to reach out to you and ask a question or possibly to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you? I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below. Folks, Joe O’Connor and his team have put together THE PERFECT PROGRAM to help YOU achieve YOUR dreams. Amen!  If you are veteran – you do not want to pass this by. You need to check this program out. It could be the answer you have been searching for. The Veterans Success Club is your ultimate resource for elevating your business and personal achievement to new heights! These programs are aimed at military veterans and business owners, as I said before. Drop down into the show notes and click the link right there.

Profile picture for Robert Thibodeau

Robert Thibodeau

I am a 12 year Army veteran as both enlisted and as a commissioned Cavalry Officer.
I am now a retired law enforcement supervisor...

I had my own business for seven years before I entered law enforcement.

As a cop, I was injured on the job on May 12, 2007 and after several surgeries over a couple of years, forced to retire in 2011.

As I was looking down the road to “what am I going to do next?” I started what is now known as a podcast (I had no clue at the time).

Within six months of starting (what I called) “My online radio program” I was offered an opportunity to be on nationwide AM radio. I learned A LOT in one year of doing that!

I then started the online Christian radio platform "Evangelism Radio" in the fall of 2010. It has had listeners in 160+ nations and all 50 states. We host 50+ Christian broadcasters on a weekly basis. We have been operating 24/7 for almost 14 years now. We have been rated #1 in the world by Shoutcast. com on several occasions in our genre. We recently transferred ownership of Evangelism Radio to another ministry so I could concentrate full time on podcasting, preaching and writing.

In 2018, I started the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast to conduct interviews with Christian influencers from all walks of life and to play their interviews on the radio station. (The KCR Podcast has its own time slot on Evangelism Radio)!
We now have over 1600 episodes and almost 1100 interviews (in just over 6 years).

Looking out at the future of online Christian media, I noticed there was no viable platforms that catered only to the Christian podcast market.

In 2023, we launched a networking platform called, "FaithCasters" which connects "Great Christian podcasters with Great Christian Guests!" This helps to promote the work you do through podcast interviews! Check it out at https://FaithCaster.org

We recently launched "FaithCaster Academy" which serves as a training hub for ALL of our trainings (podcast training / speaker training / interview training, etc.). Members receive access to ALL of our training programs for one low, monthly membership fee. Members also receive FREE access to ALL of the LIVE trainings I conduct (1 or 2 per month) - while non-members have to pay to access the live trainings.

Between my podcast training program, conducting podcast interviews, appearing on other podcasts as guests, speaking at conferences (in person and virtually) and the podcast networking platform, I guess you could say “I’m all in” when it comes to podcasting and online media!

My total focus is to do all we can to assist you to “Get The Word Out” about your mission, services, products, ministry, books, business, etc.
