🎙️ Frankie’s Pod is where stories hit harder than ration packs and last longer than your issued kit. From the barracks to the bullsh*t, we dive into life during and after military service — no filters, no fluff, just real voices and raw stories. But it's not all camouflage and combat. We also speak to civilians, misfits, and unfiltered legends with stories you didn’t see coming — from mental health and resilience to chaos, creativity, and the occasional existential crisis. 🪖 Veterans. 🧠 Interesting humans. 🎧 Absolute honesty.

Episode 93: Driving Purpose: Darren Wright Veterans into Logistics

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Veterans into Logistics founder Darren Wright, who once served with 21 Air Assault (Gibraltar 1779–1783) Battery, Royal Artillery. Darren shares the deeply personal story of losing his close military friend, Jamie Doyle, in 2018—just months after Jamie left the Army. That loss became the spark that inspired Darren to create Veterans into Logistics, a charity dedicated to supporting ex-military personnel as they transition into civilian life.

Darren opens up about his own struggles adjusting after service, the importance of meaningful employment for veterans, and how HGV driver training is transforming lives. From tackling homelessness and unemployment to restoring confidence and purpose, this conversation shines a light on why logistics is more than just a career path—it’s a lifeline.
