Jason DeBlasio doesn’t think he’s special but his story proves otherwise.

In this episode of Not Special, Jason opens up about dropping out of high school, entering a court-ordered reform program, and finding purpose through the U.S. Air Force. From freezing nights on the flight line in Dover to becoming a KC-10 flight engineer refueling fighter jets in active combat zones, Jason played a role few people ever hear about but countless lives depended on.

After 13 deployments, Jason transitioned from military service into entrepreneurship, co-founding Military Metal Art, a company crafting powerful steel artwork that represents identity, culture, and elite performance across the military, law enforcement, Space Force, and even SpaceX.

This is a raw, funny, deeply human conversation about:

• invisible roles in warfare

• leadership without recognition

• building culture through symbolism

• scaling a values-driven business

• and knowing when it’s time to let your “baby” grow beyond you

This episode is a masterclass in purpose, resilience, and impact especially for those who think their role “doesn’t matter.”
