A Veteran’s Journey with SOAR365 and the Ability One Program

In this inspiring episode of Discussing Disability, host Nate Wise talks with Trent McFadden, Assistant Vice President of SOAR365’s Ability One program, and Will Froude, a U.S. Army veteran and small engine mechanic on SOAR365’s Bellwood team. Together, they explore how the Ability One program—powered by a partnership with SourceAmerica—creates meaningful job opportunities for people with disabilities and veterans. Will shares his 20-year military career, the challenges of transitioning to civilian life, and how he found purpose and camaraderie at SOAR365. You’ll also hear about the unique supports and accommodations that help employees succeed, the impact of recognition, and why stories like Will’s matter to funders, policymakers, and the community.
