Episode description
Community builder Candyss Bryant joins VETSOCIAL Voices to unpack “friendology”—her practice of showing up, connecting people, and turning relationships into real outcomes. With 25+ years in the veteran space, Candyss shares how she helped coordinate the Best Ranger Competition, stood up the National Ranger Association, and now leads the Ranger Legacy Foundation (rangerlegacy.org), including the Camo Jacket Society to seed a $1M endowment for preserving Ranger history and supporting the community.
In this ~58-minute episode (58:10), we cover:
What “friendology” looks like in action—and why it isn’t fluffy
Best Ranger, PJ Rodeo, LeapFest, and why competitions knit communities
Starting the National Ranger Association and launching Ranger Legacy Foundation
The Camo Jacket Society: who it’s for and how it fuels the mission
Practical ways to plug in: volunteer, partner, donate, and amplify
