Florida, US, 23rd August 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Army veteran, certified personal trainer, and nutrition coach Andres Ruocco is spotlighted in a new in-depth Q&A where he opens up about the mental and emotional realities of post-military life—and how daily routines can restore confidence, stability, and purpose.

Ruocco, who served during Operation Iraqi Freedom and is currently completing his bachelor’s degree in Sports and Health Sciences, uses his voice to advocate for a more grounded, accessible approach to wellness for veterans and everyday people alike.

“Motivation is overrated,” Ruocco shares. “It’s about showing up, even when you don’t feel like it. That’s what creates real confidence—doing the small things consistently.”

His story is one of redirection. From feeling lost after high school, to enlisting in the Army, and later working in veteran support and coaching, Ruocco reflects on the routines that helped him and others rebuild from the ground up.

“When I worked in VA benefits intake, I realized veterans weren’t just looking for help with paperwork—they were looking to be heard,” he says. “Now as a trainer, I approach fitness the same way. I listen. That’s how trust is built.”

Why This Matters

According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs:

• Nearly 50% of post-9/11 veterans report difficulty adjusting to civilian life.

• 1 in 3 veterans report symptoms of anxiety or depression.

• Only 13% of veterans meet physical activity guidelines—despite its proven benefits in reducing PTSD symptoms and improving mental health.

“A 15-minute walk every day can help more than people realize,” Ruocco explains. “It clears your head. It gives you something you can control.”

He credits this habit—started during the COVID lockdowns—as a major turning point that reconnected him to fitness, inspired his certification through NASM, and launched his new career in health coaching.

Inspiration Through Action, Not Perfection

Ruocco stresses that people don’t need perfect plans or fancy equipment to take the first step. He advises readers to choose one thing each day—a walk, a journaling prompt, a phone call to someone they trust.

“I tell people: focus on three goals a day—one for your body, one for your mind, and one for your relationships,” he shares in the interview. “That’s it. Keep it simple, and you’ll build momentum naturally.”

Call to Action: Rebuild From Where You Are

This interview isn’t just a reflection of Ruocco’s journey—it’s a call to reframe success not as perfection, but as presence.

He encourages readers to take action today by:

• Taking a 15-minute walk without distractions
  

• Setting 3 simple goals—body, mind, and relationship
  

• Checking in with someone who may be silently struggling
  

As Ruocco says:

“I used to think success was knowing everything. Now I know it’s just showing up for yourself—over and over.”

Michigan, US, 23rd August 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Tamar Toledano, a San Francisco–based marketing strategist known for guiding both startups and established businesses, is offering practical strategies for early-stage companies looking to make an impact without overspending. Drawing from her experience leading marketing initiatives in a multinational corporation and now as the head of her own consultancy, Toledano emphasizes that effective marketing is not about how much is spent, but how wisely resources are used.

“Many founders think they need a big budget to break through,” Toledano explains. “But what startups need is clarity. If you know who your audience is and what motivates them, you can achieve remarkable results with limited resources.”

Building a Foundation Through Targeted Storytelling

According to Toledano, the first step toward impact marketing is identifying a clear narrative that connects with the intended audience. Startups should focus on defining their unique value proposition and crafting messages that resonate with their core clients. She suggests founders invest in understanding customer pain points through direct conversations, surveys, or even informal feedback sessions.

“Impact marketing is about creating an emotional connection,” Toledano says. “When your story aligns with the values and challenges of your audience, it creates loyalty from the start.”

Leveraging Digital Tools for Cost Efficiency

Toledano highlights the importance of embracing digital platforms, which allow startups to maximize visibility at relatively low cost. Social media campaigns, content marketing, and email newsletters can reach wide audiences without requiring large expenditures. She advises entrepreneurs to prioritize channels where their audience is most active, rather than spreading efforts too thin.

Additionally, she points out that organic content, such as blog posts, thought leadership articles, or behind-the-scenes videos, can be just as powerful as paid advertising when done consistently. “Authenticity matters more than polish,” she notes. “A startup does not need a Hollywood-style production team to tell its story effectively.”

Partnerships and Community Engagement

Another cost-conscious approach is building partnerships. Toledano encourages startups to collaborate with complementary businesses, local organizations, or even customer advocates to amplify reach. Joint events, co-branded content, or shared campaigns can stretch limited budgets further while fostering meaningful relationships.

“Startups should view themselves as part of an ecosystem,” Toledano says. “By working together with others who share your audience, you can multiply your impact without multiplying your costs.”

Data as a Guiding Compass

Toledano stresses that measurement is critical for startups working with lean budgets. Tracking engagement, conversion rates, and customer feedback enables companies to focus their resources where they create the most value. She recommends that startups make use of free or affordable analytics tools to evaluate performance regularly.

“Data doesn’t just tell you what worked,” she explains. “It tells you where to double down and where to pivot, which ensures that every dollar spent goes further.”

Philanthropy and Purpose as Differentiators

Beyond traditional marketing tactics, Toledano believes startups can stand out by aligning themselves with causes that matter. She has seen how purpose-driven initiatives, even small ones, build credibility and attract customers who value companies with a social conscience.

“Supporting a cause doesn’t have to mean donating millions,” she says. “It could be something as simple as contributing a percentage of sales to a local project or volunteering time as a team. The key is authenticity – choosing something that truly reflects your values.”

A Balanced Approach to Growth

For Toledano, the essence of impact marketing lies in balance: combining creativity with discipline, bold ideas with careful measurement, and purpose with profit. She emphasizes that startups should view marketing not as an expense, but as an investment in building lasting connections.

“The best marketing strategies don’t just generate attention, they create trust,” she concludes. “With clarity, resourcefulness, and a genuine commitment to their audience, startups can achieve powerful results even on the leanest of budgets.”
