“The Lost Art with Andrew Cox” podcast takes a moment to hear from our nations hero’s, our veteran community, where they tell their individual story in their own words for future generations to hear.

Along with individual stories the Podcast Crew discusses current veteran topics in an open discussion platform and having special guests to highlight veteran accomplishments.
Honor Their Service, Hear Their Stories: The Lost Art Podcast with Andrew Cox
For veterans, the transition from military life to civilian life can be challenging. The Lost Art Podcast with Andrew Cox bridges that gap by offering a daily platform for veterans to share their stories, experiences, and the "lost arts" they learned during service.
But The Lost Art isn't just about storytelling. Host Andrew Cox, a Master Gunnery Sergeant himself, recognizes the practical needs of veterans. Alongside powerful personal narratives, the podcast features "Fireside Chats" with experts tackling issues relevant to veterans, from navigating the VA system to managing PTSD.
Here's what you can expect from The Lost Art:
- Unflinching Veteran Stories: Each episode centers on a veteran's journey, from pre-service life to enlistment, wartime experiences, and the challenges and triumphs of reintegration. These stories are raw, inspiring, and a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by those who serve.
- The Lost Arts of Veterans: The podcast delves into the valuable skills veterans honed in the military – skills often lost in civilian life. It explores the "art" of leadership, discipline, teamwork, and resilience, showing how these qualities translate into success beyond the battlefield.
- Fireside Chats with Experts: These informative segments tackle critical issues veterans face. Financial planning, healthcare navigation, mental health resources, and entrepreneurship are just a few topics covered by specialists who offer practical guidance and support.
More Than a Podcast, a Community:
The Lost Art fosters a sense of camaraderie and belonging for veterans. Hearing stories from fellow veterans validates their experiences and reminds them they're not alone. The podcast also encourages listeners to reach out and share their own journeys, creating a supportive online community.
Leading the podcast is retired Marine Corps Master Gunnery Sergeant Andrew Cox, bringing 25 years of experience to the show.
The Lost Art Podcast with Andrew Cox doesn't just honor veterans' service; it empowers them by giving voice to their experiences and equipping them with the tools they need to thrive in civilian life.
After a remarkable 25-year career in the Marine Corps, Master Gunnery Sergeant Andrew Cox isn't hanging up his hat just yet. A decorated veteran who honed his leadership as a Drill Instructor and martial arts instructor along with daily supervisory roles, Andrew witnessed firsthand the erosion of crucial skills – the "lost arts" that once defined the Corps.
This isn't just a nostalgic yearning for the past. Andrew believes these skills – leadership, teamwork, resilience – are vital for veterans transitioning to civilian life and for society as a whole.
That's why he launched his podcast, a platform dedicated to both preserving these lost arts and amplifying the voices of veterans.
The podcast offers two compelling segments:
- My Veteran Story: This segment features veterans sharing their journeys, from pre-service life to the crucible of military experience and the challenges and triumphs of reintegration. These are powerful, personal narratives that bridge the gap between veterans and civilians.
- Fireside Chat: Here, Andrew gathers with fellow veterans for a casual, campfire-style discussion. They trade stories, delve into veteran-centric topics, and offer insights that resonate with those who served.
Andrew's podcast isn't just about reliving the past; it's about honoring the sacrifices of veterans, preserving invaluable skills, and ensuring that their stories are heard by all.
