John Melia, owner and operator of Contender Equipment Rentals, founder of the Wounded Warrior Project and former Green Beret, has turned his passion for service into success in the rental industry.

After surviving a helicopter explosion during his military service, Melia built one of the nation’s most impactful veteran support organizations—then pivoted to entrepreneurship, leading a growing rental company with the same grit and mission-driven focus. In this episode, Melia shares how lessons in nonprofit leadership shaped his approach to business, people, and purpose in the rental world today.
