About Inspiring Americans
The show at a glance — one American, one story, every week.
What Inspiring Americans is
Inspiring Americans is a new weekly half-hour television series about people who chose service once and then found another way to keep choosing it. Veterans, transitioning servicemembers, military families, and the people around them — each episode tells one veteran's story in depth: who they are, what they persevered through, and how they are serving the people around them. Small scale change or large, the show holds both side by side on purpose. There are Inspiring Americans all around us, and every week we introduce you to another one.
Service that didn't end
Everyone on this show served. We highlight what they did next. One starts a business and hires other veterans. One builds an organization that feeds people in their own community. One packs a car and drives toward a dream with no contacts and no fallback. The uniform came off; the instinct didn't.
Everybody's the audience
Our sister series, Hiring America, is made for the military-connected community and speaks its language. Inspiring Americans is written for everybody. You do not need a service record, a spouse in uniform, or any connection at all to watch one of these stories and see yourself in it — that is the point, and it shapes every choice we make about how these stories get told.
Common ground
Something we can all agree on
This series is apolitical by design and always has been. People serve for all kinds of reasons — direction, discipline, a sense of purpose, or the best door open to them at the time — and what they choose to do afterward speaks for itself. Honoring that is common ground. Wherever you sit, these are Americans worth celebrating.
