Radio St. Pete Podcast Archive

In this episode of Good Deeds, host Nanette Wiser talks with St. Pete philanthropist Jim Durning about The Reborn Project which supports veterans with PTSD and raise awareness and resources for them and their caregivers. As part of this project, veterans and musicians in the Resilient Band (seen here with Durning) will kick off their 8 city tour at Jannus Live Friday June 20. This will be a powerful night of music and connection as The Resilient takes the stage with special guest Adam Keys as part of their Leave No Man Behind Tour, presented by Raymond James. The Resilient is an American rock band made up mainly of severely wounded U.S. combat veterans, whose focus is writing and performing music that reflects the inspirations they’ve found and the hardships they’ve endured. Their stories give hope to other veterans, and as the first of our Beacons, they are helping us to guide individuals through their personal transformation, helping them rediscover their strength and soar into a future filled with hope and possibility.

About The Reborn Project Inspired by the symbolism of the Phoenix—a mythical bird that rises from its own ashes—The Reborn Project embodies the power of rebirth, transformation, and resilience. We are committed to helping veterans navigate adversity, with the belief that no matter how dark or challenging a person’s circumstances may be, there is always potential to emerge stronger, wiser, and renewed.
At the heart of our work is the Reborn Beacon Program. Through this initiative, we identify individuals and groups that exemplify hope and inspiration and spread their message, raising awareness and empowering veterans to rise from adversity.
