Years ago, I sat down with Jon Bernthal for a conversation that was never released.Now, we're sharing that conversation for the first time.In Part 2 of this three-part series, Jon and I continue discussing military service, Afghanistan, leadership, identity, and the realities of life during and after deployment. We talk about the experiences that shape people in uniform, the challenges many veterans face when they return home, and the often difficult process of finding purpose beyond military service.This part of the conversation explores the transition from soldier to civilian, the relationships that carry us through difficult periods, and the lessons that stay with us long after the uniform comes off. We also discuss resilience, accountability, personal growth, and the moments that force us to reevaluate who we are and where we're headed.Although this interview was recorded years ago, many of the themes remain just as relevant today. The struggles surrounding identity, belonging, mental health, and purpose continue to affect veterans around the world, and the conversation feels every bit as meaningful now as it did when it was first recorded.What began as a discussion about military service evolves into a broader conversation about responsibility, healing, and the challenges of building a life after profound experiences. It's an honest, unfiltered exchange that covers both the hardships and the opportunities that can emerge from adversity.This is Part 2 of a previously unreleased conversation with Jon Bernthal.Part 2 of 3.- - - - - - - - - - -Buy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Rumble - https://rumble.com/user/TheKelsiSherenPerspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsisherenSubstack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -MasterPeace - 10% off with code KELSI - https://www.MasterPeace.Health/KelsiKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://www.brassandunity.com
