In this powerful episode of The On Purpose Podcast, host Jerrod Hardy sits down with Garrett Pastor, U.S. military veteran and founder of Missions Purpose, a community dedicated to helping men rediscover identity, healing, and purpose after service. 

Garrett shares his journey from military life to the civilian world, the challenges many veterans and first responders face when the uniform comes off, and how leadership, brotherhood, and vulnerability became the foundation for his own transformation.

Together, Jerrod and Garrett explore the power of community, honest conversation, and shared struggle, and why no one is meant to walk the path alone. This episode is a reminder that healing happens when men are given the space to be real, to be supported, and to reconnect with who they truly are.

Whether you’re a veteran, first responder, or someone searching for deeper purpose, this conversation will challenge you, encourage you, and remind you that your story still matters.
