“Tip of the Spear, A Veterans Roundtable” is a veteran-led collaborative podcast and media initiative built around bringing multiple veteran voices, creators, and platforms together for unfiltered discussions about issues impacting the military and veteran community.
The concept is rooted in the military phrase “tip of the spear,” referring to frontline forces leading the mission. The roundtable takes that idea and applies it to post-service life — emphasizing that the mission continues after the uniform comes off.
The roundtable was formed roughly 18 months before its 2026 episodes as a response to what organizers described as a need for:
real veteran conversations,
authentic connection,
collaborative leadership,
and community-driven dialogue beyond surface-level podcasting.
The project regularly connects veteran-led shows and personalities including:
HomeFront SitRep,
The MisFitNation,
Triple Threat Vets Podcast,
I Am Pitts,
Oscar Mike Radio,
Tim Thomas “Breathwork in Bed”
Journey to Purpose podcast,
Everyday’s a Saturday USMC Vet
and contributors tied to networks like Heroes Media Group.
Recurring themes include:
veteran transition,
Mental Health,
leadership,
policy,
identity after service,
community building,
podcasting/media influence,
and continuing service through advocacy and storytelling.
A major part of the roundtable’s identity is that it is intentionally unscripted and conversational. The emphasis is on veterans from different branches and backgrounds having honest discussions without “red tape” or corporate filtering.
The roundtable ecosystem also appears to function as a force multiplier for veteran creators — using podcasting, livestreams, and collaborative media as tools for outreach, mentorship, awareness, and community engagement.
