The Military Amplifier, hosts Charlie Epstein and Pat Nelligan sit down with Chief Warrant Officer Court Marshall (U.S. Army Reserve, 35 years of service) to discuss the mission of Elpis Alliance for Veterans—a movement dedicated to reducing veteran suicide, building collaboration across veteran service organizations, and turning data into actionable solutions. Court shares his deeply personal journey following the loss of his son, Cameron Marshall, and how that tragedy inspired the founding of Elpis Alliance. Together, the team explores: The story and meaning behind Elpis—the Greek spirit of hope. How data, wearable technology (like Garmin, Oura, and other trackers), and AI can revolutionize veteran mental health support. The role of belonging, tribe, and re-entry challenges for service members after deployment. The importance of collaboration between veteran organizations to break down silos and scale real impact. The vision for empowering veterans by giving them ownership of their data and even financial benefits when it’s used for research. This conversation is a call to action: We need to work together to bring hope, resources, and solutions to the men and women who served. 📌 If you are part of a veteran service organization or want to join the effort, connect with Elpis Alliance today.
