#25 Christmas 2019 Episode LIVE from Revival 1869

This was a trial and error of sorts to see how we could successfully run a live episode with video (and drink some bourbon). Next year we will be doing new things with the show and what better way to try that out than live, from a bar, with some fine whiskey. I also wanted to get a few vets together and wax philosophically about the holidays and what it meant to serve away from family during Christmas. This was a laid back fun episode not to be taken too seriously! I have an interview with legendary Navy SEAL/Dog Trainer Mike Ritland (Mike Drop Podcast) coming out in two weeks!

Hope all my Veteran Brothers and Sisters are together during Christmas and we'll see you in 2020!!!

#27 Former Green Beret Andrew Marr and his journey back from TBI

This is one of the most important episodes I've recorded so far. Do you suffer from PTSD or TBI? Do you feel like a fraction of your previous (pre-injured) self? This doesn't have to be the case!

I first heard Andrew Marr's story on Joe Rogan's podcast and to say it changed my mind would be an understatement. Andrew is a husband, father, Retired Special Forces Green Beret, entrepreneur, and best-selling co-author of TALES FROM THE BLAST FACTORY: A Brain Injured Special Forces Green Beret’s Journey Back from the Brink. His book is being turned into a full feature documentary titled Quiet Explosions: Healing the Brain by a two-time EMMY award winning director to include a three-time academy award winner contributing to the production efforts as well. He co-founded Warrior Angels Foundation and the Millennium-Warrior Angel TBI Network.
