On this episode of The Middle Ground, Tom Letizia sits down with Lisa Kalkas and Josh Smith from Veteran Benefits Guide (VBG) to explore how their organization is reshaping the way veterans access the benefits they’ve earned. With more than 20 million veterans nationwide and over 139,000 living in Clark County, the need for clear, accessible pathways to disability benefits has never been greater.
Lisa and Josh share the story behind VBG’s mission—helping veterans navigate the complex VA system with confidence and speed. From simplifying claims processes to ensuring veterans receive fair disability ratings, the discussion highlights how VBG bridges the gap between service and support.
The conversation also connects to VBG’s outreach work with programs like Straight From the Streets, emphasizing how veteran-focused organizations can also play a broader role in addressing homelessness, mental health, and reintegration challenges.
Listeners will walk away with a deeper understanding of the challenges veterans face after service, the innovative solutions VBG offers, and how communities can rally behind those who have worn the uniform.
