Most guys leave the Army and try to slow down. Fraser Carson left and decided to run towards three different fires at once.

In this episode, Frankie sits down with a former Royal Artillery soldier who thought he’d seen it all—until he walked into a civilian emergency room. Fraser opens up about the whiplash of transitioning from the regimented chaos of the military to the unpredictable chaos of the ambulance service, the fire service, and eventually, the stillness of a photography studio.

But this isn’t a story about swapping guns for cameras. It’s about what happens when you use art to process trauma. Fraser has been quietly building a portfolio of veterans, capturing the weight they carry and the peace they’ve found. We talk about the veterans he’s photographed, the tears shed in the studio, and why sometimes, being seen is the strongest medicine.

Raw. Real. Redeeming.
