It's happy hour with dogs, badass women, f-bombs, iced red wine, ADHD detours, questionable choices, and a whole lot of fun. The topics are random, the guests are awesome, and it's always a good time. Hosted by Kim Bode, creator of Big Deal Energy™, Skills Survival School, and founder of 8THIRTYFOUR, a communications and learning company (19 years young); Happy Hour Hustle is real, unfiltered, and you're probably gonna need a nap after (we suggest listening at .5x). Get uncomfortable with us, it's where life is interesting.

Happy Hour Hustle #119: A 'Home Away from Home' for Veterans and their Families

Nov 11, 2025

Fisher House is one of the best-kept secrets in the Veteran space.

They are comfort homes where military and Veterans' families can stay at no cost while a loved one is receiving treatment - saving them thousands of dollars and allowing them to be close. 

Maddie visited Kate Melcher, Executive Director of Fisher House Michigan, and a veteran herself, to talk about the importance and impact of these homes, which have saved military and veterans' families an estimated $650 million in out-of-pocket costs for lodging and transportation.
