Life can get better, life will get better with Carlos Garcia.

Hey everyone and welcome to our first episode of One’s Too Many, the podcast dedicated to veterans and first responders. For our first episode we have a good friend of mine, Carlos Garcia coming on the show with us. He is a marine combat vet turned fire fighter turned psychologist, so he has seen the problems many of us have struggled through from both sides. In this episode we go over a bunch of different things from what Carlos struggled with, to what he has seen since starting to work with others, to what worked for him and what he has seen work with others. One of my favorite parts of this episode is he goes over what Post Tramatic Growth is and what he has found over the course of the past couple of years about it. It is an amazing perspective about what many of us go through and a good strategy to overcome PTSD. I would highly encourage anyone to do their own research on this as well, the more you know the more you can grow. These are only a very small amount of what we went over on this episode. I can’t wait for you to listen to it.

Be careful who you laugh at with Boyd Renner

Today’s show we have an amazing guest named Boyd Renner joining us today. He is a soon to be Alumni from Penn State’s MBA program, a Co-Founder of a startup, and 23-year member of the NSW’s prestigious Development Group.
In today’s episode we go over what it takes to get through BUDS and what your mindset should be when going through while tackling what they do to help combat depression and suicide. According to Boyd it is a problem with every unit in the military, even the best still struggle through sometimes.
Among the many different strategies used, talking about it is the main way to help someone you think might be off. It may suck, you may even loose a friend. In the end though, which is worse losing a friend for asking/confronting them about what they’re going through, or losing them once they choose to complete suicide. We learn that no matter who you are you go through some stuff. Sometimes just pulling people aside and shooting the s***, getting a coffee, or whatever goes such a long way.
“Get out, have a plan before hand, and find that tribe”
As many of us know, once you get out, it isn’t all a piece of cake. We learn more about finding a new tribe to replace the one that you left and how to make that one part of your life. We learn a lot about difficulties once you get out from his perspective and how doing something every day to make himself better has kept him grounded. Giving back is always a fantastic idea, as we learn about a walk coming up soon for Cystic Fibrosis. Everyone should check out his and his wife’s page, please donate if you can, share if you can’t. Every dollar helps go to an amazing cause.
