About John Sapiente John Sapiente is a business owner, entrepreneur, and the CEO of Volition America—a purpose-driven lifestyle brand built to support military and first responder families through the Folds of Honor Foundation.

With a background in manufacturing and medical device companies, John didn't set out to build a brand. His journey began after what he calls a "patriotic awakening"—a life-changing experience at a Folds of Honor event where he witnessed firsthand the sacrifices made by military families.
