What happens when the hardest question you'll ever face is one you ask yourself?

For veteran and author Devin Fish, that question was both devastating and life-changing:

"Do I want to die?"

In his deeply personal memoir Answering the Hard Questions, Devin chronicles his journey through military service, depression, suicidal ideation, hospitalization, poverty, self-hatred, and trauma—and the difficult but ultimately transformative path toward healing and purpose.

This is not simply a story about surviving crisis. It's a story about confronting painful truths, breaking generational cycles, finding meaning after despair, and helping others discover hope when life feels impossible.

Today's conversation explores resilience, mental health, personal accountability, recovery, and what it truly means to earn a second chance.
