Unbreakable: From Childhood Trauma to Navy SEAL to Powerlifting Champion - Tommy Richardson’s Journey

Episode Summary:

What does it take to survive the unthinkable - and come out stronger than ever?

In this jaw-dropping episode, I sit down with Tommy Richardson - Navy SEAL veteran, Marine, elite resilience coach, and founder of Divine Savagery.

We talk about overcoming childhood bullying, surviving combat, enduring grueling Navy SEAL training (including Hell Week with a broken pelvis!), and his miraculous recovery from brain surgery that left doctors stunned.

Tommy opens up about:

Childhood adversity: How brutal bullying and a strict household pushed him to the edge and the voice that saved his life.

Military mindset: Lessons from combat zones across the globe, including how to lead, adapt, and build unshakable teams.

A brotherhood forged in fire: How a life-long connection with the Luttrell twins - including Marcus Luttrell (yes, the Lone Survivor) - who likely helped open some door that tipped the scale in Tommy's favor for an atypical path from the Marines into the elite world of Navy SEALs.

Resilience & faith: Why forging mental toughness requires both fire and purpose.

Radical recovery: How he set a goal to go from lifting 5 lbs post-brain surgery to benching 500 lbs in under a year.

Life after service: Turning battlefield lessons into boardroom strategies for leadership, wellness, and personal growth.

Tommy doesn’t just share stories - he delivers battle-tested strategies for anyone facing adversity, feeling stuck, or chasing an impossible goal.

If you’ve ever wondered how far grit, faith, and purpose can take you - this episode will show you.

What happens when your body forces you to stop — and you barely make it out alive?

In this powerful episode of Third Chances, I sit down with Michelle Drew - Certified Naturopathic Wellness Consultant, Transformational Speaker, and founder of a functional wellness company that helps women 40+ reclaim their energy and vitality.

Michelle’s story is nothing short of extraordinary:

From a corporate recruiter and work-hard/play-harder lifestyle… To wake up from a medically induced coma after her family was told to prepare for the worst.

To build a thriving company with nurse practitioners, nutritionists, and medical specialists that provides the functional medicine solutions she wishes she’d had when she needed them most.

We talk about: The terrifying health crisis that became her wake-up call. Why blood work can reveal what “symptom-chasing” never will. The approach she uses to help women take back control of their health and energy. If you’ve ever felt like your body was sending you warnings you’ve been ignoring, this conversation might be the nudge you need.

One seizure. One diagnosis. One mission.

Stan Harper was married for 34 years when his wife suddenly experienced a seizure — a shocking moment that led to her Stage 4 brain cancer diagnosis. They spent 4½ years navigating surgery, treatments, hope, grief… and then loss.

A year later, life handed Stan his own wake-up call: chronic lymphocytic leukemia — a blood cancer. Facing his mortality, he realized: this was his final wake-up call.

Stress, grief, inflammation — he believes these played a role. Instead of waiting for treatment, Stan chose action.

He:

• Overhauled his lifestyle: diet, movement, mindset

• Adopted what he calls the 5 S Diet: Smoothies, Salmon, Salads, Smart Snacks, Science-based supplements

• Became a Certified Health Coach — not for business, but to learn how to truly fight cancer

Today, Stan lives with lymphoma under “watch and wait,” strengthened by daily choices and the support of JuicePlus — a whole food, plant-based supplement.

His message is powerful: you don’t have to wait for a crisis—just one simple change can begin real transformation.

Tune in to hear:
• The three wake-up calls that changed everything
• His “one simple change” philosophy & 5 S Diet
• How he supports others through personal coaching & public speaking
• Why life can be fragile - and why we don’t have to wait to live fully

Listen now and get inspired to take your first step.

Andy’s Journey from Self-Medicating, Functioning Alcoholic to Transforming Men’s Lives

Shownotes:

He started drinking at 14.
Graduated from college.
Landed a decent banking job and made a good career.
Outwardly “functional” - but quietly falling apart.

In this raw and powerful episode, Andy shares his journey from teenage drinking and self-medicating his undiagnosed bipolar disorder and depression with alcohol, to becoming a high-level fitness coach for male executives.

We dive into:

• Growing up with an alcoholic father
• The hidden dangers of being a "functioning" addict
• Mental health stigma in high-performing men
• The cost of pretending everything is fine
• Replacing self-destruction with discipline and purpose
• Why reconciliation with his father came just in time
• What real transformation looks like (and why most don’t commit to it)

Andy Feltovich founded FeltovichFit - and as a retired banker who traded a briefcase for kettlebells, he now coaches 40+ year old male senior professionals on health and fitness.

Andy doesn’t sugarcoat it. His story is bold, honest, and deeply needed - especially for the men who feel like they’ve “got it together” on the outside, but are secretly burning out inside.

“If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right.”
That’s not just his motto—it’s his life’s second act.

🎧 Listen now and share this with someone who needs a reminder:
You don’t have to wait for rock bottom to choose better.

Some decisions don’t make sense in the moment — until they change your entire trajectory.

In this episode, Dr. Dan Hartley, former Podiatric physician and Surgeon, opens up about walking away from his private practice, his 3 decades long journey through fascinating clinical research with major pharma companies, his faith, reinvention, and what shifted everything he thought he knew.   

After years in private surgical practice, Dr. Dan Hartley walked away from burnout and built a 30+ year career in clinical research for some of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies.  

But what he never expected… was to encounter a technology so advanced, it had once been pursued by the VERY COMPANY he worked for.  

Dr. Dan shares his story of reinvention, his quiet strength, deep faith, and how the Redox technology he once doubted ultimately earned his belief.

What convinced him it was real, how he proved it to himself it wasn't a placebo he once believed, and what he did with that opportunity in his hands.    

We cover:   

- The pressure and burnout behind his private practice exit 

- What it’s really like leading inside pharma clinical trials 

- Why was he already aware of Redox signaling molecules, long before the majority of the experts

- His initial skepticism around ASEA Redox — and what changed his mind 

- Why he wanted to get involved back then, but due to his demanding career, it wasn't the right time... 

- What got his attention recently (and why it's a BIG DEAL for wellness) 

- Why he's right now re-engaging with purpose, not hype 

- One decision in his 20s that changed the entire trajectory of his life

What makes a top anesthesiologist leave her white coat behind to champion cellular health?

Meet Dr. Maureen Hayes, a Board-Certified Anesthesiologist and Pain Management Specialist with over 30 years of experience, who traded the operating room for a mission to empower people with the science of Redox technology.

In this candid and heartwarming episode, we uncover:

• From Skeptic to Believer: What she calls her period of arrogance and ignorance, and why she initially dismissed Redox.

• What finally convinced her to take the leap?

• What happened when her Army reserve, marathon runner, brilliant researcher, and physician husband – was sent to MD Anderson Hospital in TX straight from deployment in Iraq with an issue no one expected

• The Wake-Up Call: How her husband's diagnosis made her question the medical system’s definition of "cure" and quality of life. From athlete to having an issue crossing a room with an oxygen mask on.

• What was her first “endorsement” of the technology to her girlfriend/nurse (not quite a sales pitch you would expect)

• Personal & Family Transformations: The life-changing shifts she and her loved ones experienced through testing the Redox protocol/replenishment.

• Bigger Impact Beyond the Clinic: Why she believes her current work has a much more profound influence than her decades in traditional medicine.

• Next-Gen Breakthrough: A deep dive into the new RedoxGOLD gel — why is it so different, what's the science behind it, the rapid relief she experiences with people, and how it miraculously soothed her not-so-perfect hip.

• From the time she swore she wouldn’t tell a soul that she was taking it, to a moral obligation to share it with people, this doctor now makes a bigger impact than she was ever able to have.

Dr. Hayes brings her infectious humor, Disney Princess charm, and an unshakable passion for helping people live vibrant, healthy lives. She’s living proof that it’s never too late to pivot toward a more meaningful purpose in life.

Grab your favorite glass of wine, and join us for a conversation that just might change your life (and your trillions of cells) forever!

Listen now — your body will thank you.
