In this special Veterans Day episode, Armando Batista, U.S. Service Member, sits down with host Martin Brooker, retired Commodore of the Australian Navy. They discuss their transformative journeys through Crucible and Armando shares how he confronted hidden wounds and because of it, now better understands his own behavior and connects more deeply with his family. Armando describes how Crucible’s intense self-reflection process has empowered him to become a more compassionate and present leader, encouraging other service members to address their struggles and embrace vulnerability. Sharing stories of witnessing veterans overcoming shame, fear, and trauma, he highlights the profound impact of Crucible’s work on military personnel dealing with PTSD, anger, and isolation. For those ready to break free from emotional burdens, Armando invites veterans to experience their own breakthrough on a Crucible weekend.
