Join us for an exceptional conversation with Thomas Stone, former platoon leader in the famed 75th Ranger Regiment of the US Army in Afghanistan, and now a Real Estate attorney in California. We talk about the extreme training he went through, the culture of respect and humility he experienced in his time in the military, the ethical questions he confronted while fighting Al-Qaeda, ISIS, and Taliban militants over 3 deployments, his transition to civilian life with PTSD and his recovery using indigenous plant medicine.

Resources for US veterans that Thomas recommends include 22Mohawks.com to end veteran suicide, the WoundedWarriorProject.com, and "You Are Good Inc." at instagram.com/paulalkoby. The Heroic Hearts project (https://heroicheartsproject.org/) helps veterans with PTSD access psychedelic-assisted therapies.
