What happens when the VA system built to serve you becomes the very thing that breaks you?

Trinidad Aguirre didn’t just survive the bureaucratic maze of the VA, he transformed his experience into a lifeline for others. A 100% disabled Gulf War Navy veteran, Trinidad founded VetsForever to do what the government often fails to: deliver validation, speed, and dignity to veterans navigating the disability claims process. This episode peels back the layers of that mission, and the man behind it.

We talk about what it costs to lead while healing, how economic justice fuels mental health, and what it really takes to rebuild trust in a system that once erased your name and your pain. At Unfinished Business, we’re proud to stand on the same front lines, amplifying the voices of veterans who turn struggle into strategy and pain into purpose.

Whether you’re a veteran, an advocate, or someone who refuses to accept that “the way it is” is the way it has to be, this story will shift your perspective.
