This is Chris Albert, and I'm here to remind you of one thing. Someday, you're going to die. Now that's not some morbid statement or scary idea. It's solid fact. Your time here on this earth is limited.
And we need to be reminded of this as much as possible for one simple reason, to live your best life while you can. This is the Warrior Soul Podcast.
Hey, ladies and gents. So I just got an email from Lance Iunker, who was on the podcast last week to talk about services for vets and jobs for vets during this crazy time we're in with COVID nineteen. And here's the thing, is one of my priorities right now. Normally, I'm on here, I'm talking about philosophy, I'm talking about life, I'm talking about fitness, I'm talking about bettering yourself, and we are still about that. Right now we are in dire straits as far as the economy goes.
It looks like this shutdown is going to continue and it looks like there's going be a lot of people who are going to be losing their jobs. And so my priority for you is of course we're going be focusing on enriching yourself and putting you in as good of a place as possible. Right now I really want to help you guys survive. And so I have some updates from last week as far as employment opportunities. And I hate to just come on here and talk about this stuff, but I think it's necessary and I think you guys need it right now.
So he sent me over this list, there's a buttload of employment opportunities out there right now. Now most of these I will say are either in food service, not necessarily restaurants, but working in grocery stores like Albertsons and Kroger's and things like that. Kroger's hiring a lot. Costco is hiring like crazy right now. Amazon.com is hiring like crazy right now.
They've got warehouses all over the country where they need staff. There are UNFI which is a food service company that provides food to the country as far as distribution services. They're hiring FedEx is hiring. There are a lot of places hiring right now if you're willing to take the work. Now I get it for some of you these jobs might sound like, oh man, I don't want to do that.
But here's the deal, you know, I've done a lot of different jobs in my life. I've been a truck driver, I've been a landscaper, I've been a day laborer, I was a plumber's apprentice while I had this plumber who just made me dig holes and smoke cigarettes and watch me all day. It felt like I was back in the Marine Corps. And here's the deal, any job is a start. It's an opportunity.
It's an opportunity to show yourself. It's an opportunity to push forward. It's an opportunity to survive this situation. And I want to make sure that you guys are provided with these resources. So what I'm gonna do is in the show notes for this both on on iTunes and across all our platforms and on the blog, I'm gonna put a link.
That link will go to a document and that document is gonna... Think there's something like 40 or 50 job opportunities on here that you guys can go to. You can figure out what's in your area. You can figure out what you are going to be able to take advantage of here as far as being able to find something that's going to get you by through this time. As more job opportunities pop up, I'm going keep doing this.
I'm going to keep putting this stuff out there. My priority is with my community. You guys are everything to me. That's why I've done this show for years. That's why I'm still doing this show.
And I I get out of bed thinking about you and my family and I go to bed thinking about you and my family. So I wanna make sure you guys are okay. Let me know if any of you try any of these and anything comes of it. Please let me know. The more information you can hand over about the interview processes for these place, the more places, the more I'm going to be able to help other veterans with that.
And, you know, I just wanna make sure again that you guys are all okay. So definitely check out the notes here on iTunes or whatever platform you're on and or head over to our blog and check those out. I'm also gonna be sending them out over my email newsletter and that's that. So I wish you guys the best. I hope you're staying healthy, you're staying safe, and I hope you're keeping a good mindset through this whole thing.
I'll talk to you guys soon. This is Chris, and I am out.
