This episode of Wardogs hours, we are going to highlight the military career of Ben Lowry and also his post military life. Ben's military career saw him posted to 3 rar in 2009 then he joined 25/49 on the Gold Coast where he served 7 years. Since then he moved to sunny Cairns in North Queensland where he has started Tropik Nutrition and also runs a free Saturday morning PT session. We all agree that correct nutrition combined with an exercise program leads to improved mental health, which are values we stand for in the Wardogs NFT Mission.

This episode of Wardogs hour, we are going to highlight the military career and the post military career of Ryan Dodd, a founding member of this mission. Ryan’s military career was one that saw him posted to 5RAR where he was a vital member of the mighty 5rar mortar platoon, in which he deployed to Afghanistan on MTF2. Since Discharging, Ryan has established himself as not only one of the best tattoo artists in Australia, but also a successful businessman that has seen him co-own a studio that recently celebrated its tenth year of operations. Himself and his business partner Sean, have been the benchmark in tattoo studios on the Gold Coast for quite some time now and in what can only be described as a heavily saturated market, these guys will continue to improve and crush it like no other.

Today we have Jacob and John from another solid web3 project, Outback Martians. Jacob served alongside the founders of Wardogs in the mighty 5rar battalion and John served in English army as grunt. Both men served a stellar and decorated career and have now found themselves running a successful NFT project that aims to improve mental health through the stream of comedy. With laughs come improved mental health and these men put a strong focus on that and are aiming to build their own facility so that this can become so.
