Former Navy SEAL Patrick Toz spent his career as the "quintessential team guy" — until a green-team dream ended and he had no plan. David sits down with Pat to break down how he rebuilt himself through metal: custom motorcycles, hand-forged art, and a hard-won understanding of what actually quiets an operator's mind. You'll hear why Pat calls his shop time "mental health," how art therapy at a TBI clinic changed how he saw his own work, and why he now teaches kids trauma-aid and craftsmanship for free through the Summer Brave Academy. David and Pat get into the transition every veteran feels and few can name — the "I feel lost" moment — and what it takes to want, to suffer, and to build again
