In episode 24 Edgar Mills interviews Pat Towery — a former Army Blackhawk pilot turned national board‑certified health and wellness coach, yoga trainee, boxing announcer, and professional fire breather. They discuss Pat’s work with fraternity chapters at Georgia Tech, his approach to building wellness committees, experiential workshops, and the importance of genuine relationships in mental health care.
The conversation covers Pat’s military-to-civilian transition, VA integrated care, coaching methods (motivational interviewing, AARs), and how unconventional tools — like fire performance and shared challenges — foster resilience, purpose, and community among young men.
