Unarmored Talk

Mario P. Fields

Booking Overview

This interview-led personal-growth show focuses on authenticity, mental strength, resilience, leadership, and military or veteran experiences, with recurring external guests who are veterans, authors, leaders, and resilience-oriented professionals. PR agencies could credibly pitch veteran experts, leadership authors and coaches, mental-health or recovery advocates, and professionals with compelling service-to-civilian transition stories; booking difficulty is likely low because guests are generally accessible subject-matter experts rather than major public figures.
