Veteran Voice Radio - Coffee, Gun Safes, and Jelly Roll

In this episode of Veteran Voice Radio, we sit down with Jamie, the founder of Cache Coffee and More, for an incredible conversation about coffee, community, and making a real difference. Jamie shares how a gym accident led to the birth of Cache Coffee, how he overcame legal challenges with CBD in Utah, and the journey of roasting their own coffee beans.

We also dive into the impactful work Cache Coffee and More is doing to support veterans, including their life-saving gun safe initiative, which has garnered national attention—even landing them on Good Morning America. Jamie recounts the emotional story of how a tragedy led to a mission of preventing veteran suicides by safely storing firearms for those in crisis.

But that’s not all—we also discuss Jamie's run-ins with Antifa, the challenges of standing by their values, and how their mission resonated with Jelly Roll, leading to an unforgettable VIP experience backstage at one of his concerts.

With humor, heart, and some veteran-style banter, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who believes in community, resilience, and making a difference.
