Each week, join Travis Howze, U.S. Marine, former Police Officer and Firefighter, World Touring Stand Up Comedian, Motivational Speaker and Best Selling Author as he draws from a lifetime of experiences from unbelievably hysterical stories to unspeakable traumatic events and engages directly with his supporters and listeners, taking off-the-cuff questions and topic suggestions to produce a unique broadcast atmosphere, where you, the listener, has a say in the show. If you struggle with purpose, looking for inspiration, have a friend or loved one who could use support, or simply want to laugh and cry in your vehicle, couch, or go-to place, this podcast is a must for you!
