Bottom Line Up Front
House of Bricks delivers two decisive pathways:
  1. Subscribe on Substack → Access StartupX, founder/veteran interviews, and veteran roundtables.
  1. Get VA Loan Help → Lower monthly bills, stabilize your family, and clear the runway for your next mission.
Everything else supports these two actions.
Primary Course of Action 1:
Subscribe on Substack

Founder & Veteran
Interviews
Each interview is a field report — breaking down the turning points that shaped a mission. Through Test. Fail. Learn. Grow.™ segments, founders and veterans walk through what they tried, where they stumbled, the lessons they carried forward, and how they grew. These conversations deliver practical intel and battle-tested wisdom you can apply to your own path.

Veteran Roundtable
Series
Focused discussions with trusted veteran service providers and leaders tackling the toughest transition challenges, from financial stability and health to career pathways and family support. Each roundtable delivers practical resources, trusted voices, and a clear plan of action so veterans don’t have to fight the civilian maze alone.

Primary Course of Action 2:
VA Loan & Refinance Help
Immediate Savings
Lower your monthly bills with a VA loan refinance or access a HELOC to invest in your home, freeing up cash flow right away.
Financial
Runway
When money stress eases, mission focus sharpens. VA loan benefits create the breathing room to pursue what comes next — entrepreneurship with StartupX, further education, or family goals.
