In this episode of the Wet Boots Podcast, I interview Damien Celaya, a veteran with 15 years of service in the Army National Guard. We discuss Damien's journey from joining the military to his experiences during deployments, the challenges of transitioning back to civilian life, and his entrepreneurial venture with Freedom Bear Coffee Company. Damien also shares insights about the QRF Up organization, which aims to prevent veteran and first responder suicides. The conversation touches on the realities of military life, the importance of community support, and the personal growth that comes from overcoming adversity.
