Jimmy Armel | Knot Lucky Veteran Fishing | Ep. 990


Listen Later

Captain Jimmy Armel is an Army Ranger veteran, founder of Knot Lucky Veteran Fishing, and a man on a mission to heal others through the ocean. After 11 years in the military—including brutal combat deployments—Jimmy faced the battles of PTSD, brain injuries, and addiction. Through fishing, plant medicine, and service, he found a path back to purpose.

In this conversation, we go deep on combat, trauma, forgiveness, psychedelic therapy, shark tagging, and how fishing changes lives.
Some of the moments I found most meaningful in this conversation were:
How fishing gave Jimmy purpose when everything else was falling apart.
The raw truth about combat, concussions, and what veterans really experience.
Jimmy’s near-death experience — and how it changed his outlook forever.
The power of psychedelic therapy (Ibogaine & Ayahuasca) in healing trauma.
Why helping veterans isn’t about pity — it’s about purpose, community, and action.
