Overview
Acknowledge 2 Action is more than a podcast. It is a mindset and a space for honest conversation, reflection, and forward movement.
Built for the Military, Veteran, First Responder, Education, and Workforce communities, and for anyone committed to growth through awareness, this podcast centers lived experience, leadership, service, and resilience.
At its core is a simple cycle. Acknowledge what is present. Accept what is real. Process with intention. Plan with clarity. Take Action with purpose.
Growth does not begin with having all the answers. It begins when we acknowledge where we are, mentally, emotionally, physically, socially, and spiritually. Taking an honest inventory creates clarity, not resignation, and clarity gives us the power to choose our next step with intention.
This space exists to challenge you to face your truth, take action when it matters, and walk your path with integrity.
Be strong. Be brave. Be true to yourself.
This is Acknowledge 2 Action.

The Motivation and Dedication Behind Acknowledge 2 Action
In April 2023, Matthew Benko brought Acknowledge 2 Action to life by laying the ground work for this podcast. This endeavor stemmed from his extensive 22-year military and professional journey, combined with over 40 years of life experiences. These encounters have deepened Benko's appreciation for the transformative power of the Acknowledge 2 Action mindset. Drawing from his tenure as a Senior Non-Commissioned Officer in the U.S. Air Force, a Readjustment Counselor Therapist at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and various leadership roles in the civilian sector, he has utilized and applied the principles of Acknowledge 2 Action to navigate and resolve complex challenges with a focus on results-oriented solutions.
Benko's passion is to foster meaningful connections and empower others through shared experiences. This is why he created the the Acknowledge 2 Action Podcast. It is a means to serve as an accessible platform for individuals seeking resources, support, and guidance through listening to others' journeys. Through verbal dialogue, all involved can benefit from tangible and tacit means by connecting, relating, understanding, supporting, and empathizing.
