If you’ve ever loved a veteran but felt like you couldn’t reach them—this is the episode you need to hear.

From the day we raise our right hand, to the battles we fight long after the uniform comes off.

You’ll understand why we joined, how the military rewired us, what we lost when we came home, and why so many of us struggle in silence.

This episode isn’t just for civilians—it’s for every veteran who has ever said, “I wish they understood.”

Send this to your spouse. Your parents. Your friends. Your coworkers.

If you want them to understand you—not the movie version, not the holiday speech version—the real you…

Start here.

You want more discipline, better habits, a stronger mindset—but your calendar is empty. That’s not a motivation problem. That’s a self-respect problem. In this episode, we dive into why your schedule reflects your standards, and how to build a life that proves you’re serious about the man you say you want to become. If it’s not scheduled, it’s not real.

Not everyone will understand your growth—and they’re not supposed to.

This episode dives into the lonely, misunderstood, and often painful side of transformation. When you level up, you lose people—and that’s not a tragedy. That’s the price of becoming who you’re meant to be.

This episode is from my guest appearance on The Morning Formation Podcast with KP Phillips.

This was one of the realest conversations I’ve had.

On The Morning Formation with KP Phillips, we talked about what happens when the uniform comes off and there’s no one telling you what to do anymore. We went deep into identity loss, toxic leadership, the cost of chasing titles, and how most veterans stay stuck because they never stop acting like they’re still in.

I opened up about my past—gangs, trauma, divorce, addiction, and how I had to burn everything down to rebuild VetRise from nothing. This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s the full truth.

If you feel like you’ve lost direction after service, this one’s for you.

This episode is from my guest appearance on the Five Oooh! Podcast with Haley.

After the uniform came off, everything unraveled. Two divorces. A dismantled team. A war inside my own home—and inside myself.

In this conversation with Haley, I opened up about the identity crisis that hits when you leave the job, the truth about chasing purpose, and what it actually takes to rebuild a life that’s yours—not just one that looks good on paper.

If you’ve ever wondered what’s left after the mission ends, this one will hit home.

You can’t think your way out of pain.

You have to show yourself you matter—through your actions, not affirmations.

After years of building for others, I realized I never built peace for myself. Not real peace. Just noise, hustle, and survival mode.

Peace isn’t something you stumble into. It’s something you construct—physically, emotionally, financially, and through the people and boundaries you choose.

You don’t need another motivational quote.

You need a reset.

In this episode, I break down what actually changed my life after years of drifting—divorce, drinking, depression, no purpose, no tribe. I talk about what it feels like when the structure’s gone… and how I rebuilt it from the ground up.

We’re talking about why veterans stay stuck, how ego keeps you broke and bitter, and why discipline without devotion will never be enough. I share the real reason your weekends are wrecking your progress—and what it takes to finally stop waiting and start leading yourself.

No hand-holding. No victim mindset.

Just truth, action, and the hard reset you’ve been avoiding.
