What drives a man to transform his life from a software engineer to a soldier, and then to the founder of a nonprofit supporting veterans with TBI and PTSD? Join us as Alex Briggs, the remarkable CEO of Silent Wounds and Warriors Foundation, narrates his gripping journey from civilian life to the front lines in Syria where he encountered an explosion that changed his life forever and sent him on a new mission to help other veterans that are impacted by TBI and PTSD.
Inspired by a transformative experience at Revival Hyper Barracks, we dive into the motivations behind creating nonprofits aimed at helping those who've served. Discover the passion and determination required to establish a genuine and effective support system for veterans and first responders. With a diverse and talented board—including Green Berets and experts in crypto and mental health from Northwestern—we're committed to nurturing healing and fostering resilience within the veteran community. Listen in as we also discuss our upcoming podcast, designed to amplify the voices of Purple Heart veterans and inspire others through their recovery stories.
Community support is vital, and we're thrilled to share the completion of our latest bridge project, a testament to what collective effort can achieve. We encourage listeners to share the episode, leave positive reviews, and promote initiatives that benefit veterans and their families. For nonprofits working in the veteran space, we're here to help you amplify your mission.
