Forged Through Adversity: JB’s Journey from Trauma in Childhood, Special Operations, and Beyond

In this episode, JB shares his extraordinary transformation from a childhood spent in group homes to serving in the military’s special operations community. His path was anything but easy—navigating the instability of the system, facing trauma head-on, and developing the mental toughness needed to survive and thrive.

Through writing, meditation, and the power of forgiveness, JB found healing and purpose. We dive into how childhood trauma shapes relationships, how storytelling became his refuge, and why grit, discipline, and a strong support system are essential for overcoming adversity. JB also makes a powerful case for greater accountability in the system to ensure kids don’t just survive but succeed.

This is a conversation about resilience, transformation, and breaking the cycle.
