Reinvented with Jen Eckhart Presents: The Medal of Honor Episode That Went Completely Off the Rails! Featuring: Dakota Meyer — U.S. Marine, Medal of Honor Recipient, Girl Dad, and… Male Cheerleader?

After a brief hiatus (during which your host, Jennifer Eckhart — journalist, producer, survivor, and creator of the Reinvented podcast — was out conquering life, one chaotic plot twist at a time), Reinvented returns with a vengeance! And we’re coming in hotter than a Marine in combat boots getting a pedicure! In this unfiltered, laugh-out-loud, and downright legendary episode, Jen sits down with Medal of Honor recipient and U.S. Marine Dakota Meyer — a New York Times bestselling author, veteran advocate, firefighter, girl dad, and all-around American badass.

You think you’re tuning in for a serious military podcast interview about courage and sacrifice — but somehow, within minutes, it spirals into:

• Jen showing up in full BDUs “to impress” Dakota
• A Marine defending his right to pedicures with his daughters
• An awkward dive into Dakota’s dating life (“It’s long gone, Jen. I re-enlisted.”)
• An unplanned mention about Charlie Sheen
• A surprise FaceTime from former Navy SEAL Rob O’Neill (yes, that Rob O’Neill — the man who killed Osama bin Laden)
• A legitimate question about whether Jen could “take out a terrorist with her stiletto heel”

Between the chaos and comedy, Dakota opens up about healing from PTSD, purpose, fatherhood, the legacy of Charlie Kirk, military reinvention, and mental health, proving that true resilience means knowing when to laugh through the pain — and when to suit up and serve again. This episode has it all: heart, humor, heroism, and hard truths about what it really means to fight for something bigger than yourself. It’s a powerful and hilarious reminder that reinvention isn’t always polished — sometimes, it’s pure chaos.

So strap in, hit play, and prepare for the funniest, most fearless, and most inspiring episode of Reinvented yet.
