💔 When your father dies of a meth overdose, your life changes forever⛓️‍💥. For Tom Sauer, that tragedy became the fuel for a mission: to serve, to heal, and to fight for veterans battling addiction. Today, the 18-year Navy and Marine Corps veteran is not only the founder of Miramar Recovery, but also a voice in Washington pushing for policy changes to improve care for those who’ve worn the uniform. 🇺🇸

In this powerful conversation with host Ryan Penley, Tom shares:

The impact of his father’s addiction and his own decision to join the Marines

Lessons from the Naval Academy, military life, and the difficult transition to civilian life

How founding Miramar Treatment Center became a personal mission to support veterans

The challenges and shortcomings of the VA healthcare system — and what needs to change

Why support systems are the bedrock of recovery and resilience

This is more than one man’s comeback story. It’s a call to action for veteran care, recovery, and reinventing what’s possible after hitting rock bottom.
