Finding Purpose and Building Your Family

Cyrus Dooley joins us to share his story of overcoming difficult beginnings, finding purpose, and building a future centered around family. Today, he's blessed with a wife, a daughter, and twins on the way! His journey hasn't always been easy. After losing his father and growing up with a mother struggling with addiction, Cyrus joined the Army partly as a way to escape the circumstances surrounding him. Along the way, he experienced the loss of friends to suicide and witnessed plenty of the chaos and struggles happening throughout the world. Wanting to make a difference, Cyrus started a nonprofit called Fishing for Veterans . However, he eventually discovered that the nonprofit world wasn't the right fit for him. Facing accusations and assumptions that he was trying to make money rather than help people became frustrating, and he realized he needed to take a different path. Now, through Till Zero Coffee , Cyrus continues moving forward and finding his own way to make an impact. Music Guest: Miller Holler Band – Pat Pollifrone Pat Pollifrone of Miller Holler Band joins us to share some music and the influences behind their sound. With inspiration from legendary artists like Lynyrd Skynyrd and Metallica, the band brings together a little Southern rock attitude and a whole lot of personality. Three songs bring three different perspectives: Song #1 – "Thrive": With all the constant predictions and threats of the world coming to an end, sometimes you just have to let it go. This song takes a humorous, laid-back approach to the chaos, suggesting you might as well watch the world scramble from the top of the hill! Song #2 – "Country Does": A good middle-ground country song celebrating hunting, working the farm, and the things that remain constant. The world may change, but some things about country life never do. Song #3 – "Just Like Here": Written by friends Brandy Montana and David, this song brings Pat back to the feeling of home. Life on the road means hotels and new places everywhere, but sometimes a song can take you right back to where you belong. And this one has a great radio-friendly sound! From finding your way through life's challenges to finding comfort in the sounds of home, this episode is about perseverance, new beginnings, and remembering what matters most.
