Have you ever served in the military? Do you ever think about transitioning in life? Joe, like me, is a vet who left the service with his head held high and absolutely no idea what was going to happen next. As a parent and provider, it’s a difficult spot for anyone. Joe talked through his transition and how he is helping others on the same journey. As always, rate and comment! IG: @another_avg_joe Website: www.anotheraveragejoe.com

Garret Harrell is a former MARSOC Raider and Level 10 parent with extensive experience in both fields.

Adults don’t always get it right, and kids sometimes suffer in those homes. What happens when a situation becomes untenable in the home? How do you fix what’s been undone? Joe Barnard and The Forge School exist to right the wrongs taking place in the home by putting kids through an experiential program out in Tennessee (and across the U.S.). Kids come through the program for a year, live and work on the campus and learn to manage their issues in a meaningful and constructive way. Joe, a former Air Force Officer in the spec ops community, uses his history and knowledge to pour life-changing skills into these kids. Give it a listen and check out The Forge School.
