If you like TV Chef Robert Irvine you’ll really love him for what he’s doing for our Veterans as a tireless philanthropic supporter – in tandem with an AMAZING firm on Wall Street called Roberts & Ryan America’s first Service Disabled Veteran Owned Broker Dealer that donates 7-10% of their revenue to Veteran Focused non-profits!
One incredible thing they’re doing is raising money to be able to give as many wheelchair bound disabled veterans as possible, an IBOT. The IBOT is a Personal Mobility device that combines balance and motion to provide a unique eye level experience in mobility. It’s giving wheelchair bound veterans the ability to climb stairs, reach to the top of kitchen cabinets and much more! This collective effort is changing disabled Veterans lives and their families, for the better. BTW, This powered wheelchair was developed by Dean Kamen, the inventor of the Segway, in a partnership between DEKA and Johnson & Johnson Technology Division.
Roberts & Ryan President Brian Rathjen (below) and Robert Irvine both join me to talk about how they’re both putting their money where their mouths are.
In Honor of July 4th and in support of all the men and women who have ‘served’ our country so the rest of us can live free – I’m posting the entire show today as a podcast. Both guests today are amazing humans. What they are doing for our disabled Veterans is nothing short of incredible. I hope you listen. You need to know about them and help in any way you’re able to. Even if it’s just spreading the word.

Roberts & Ryan: A top-tier institutional broker dealer founded by Dan Roberts, a US Marine Corps Vietnam War combat veteran and Purple Heart recipient. Roberts & Ryan, America’s 1st broker-dealer of its kind, attained the minority designation – Service-Disabled Veteran Owned (SDVO) – once it was codified into law.
In 2017, a group of like-minded Veterans and Citizen Patriots – all experienced Wall Street professionals – bought Roberts & Ryan with the dual mission of doing well – providing great service to their clients, while doing good –supporting our nations Veterans and adult youth in mental health, wellness, and career transition through charitable donations and volunteerism.
Roberts & Ryan now provides agency equity and debt services, distribution of equity and debt capital transactions as co-managers, as well as delivering corporate access events and desk research to our institutional asset managers, banks, family offices, and corporate treasuries. The more bsuiness they do the more revenue they give to the Veterans.
Robert Irvine: Yes he is a world-class chef and entrepreneur, but he’ll tell you his true passion is helping veterans and he is a tireless philanthropic supporter of our nation’s military. The host of Food Network’s hit show Restaurant: Impossible, he has given struggling restaurateurs a second chance to turn their lives and businesses around in over 200 episodes and counting.
The Robert Irvine Foundation’s primary focus is giving back and supporting our service members, veterans, first responders, their families, and those in need through resiliency, health, and wellness programs, in addition to the financial support of top-rated military and first responder organizations.
