In this episode you will hear:

  • It doesn’t matter what people think about you. Do what’s right, regardless of the consequences. If you lose friends over it, they weren’t true friends.
  • Having a dad as a New Jersey State Trooper, I learned about the evil in this world, and I learned about honor – doing what’s right.
  • That’s the nice thing about diving without O2. If you gotta die, that’s the way to go, because you just fall asleep.
  • [In combat] You get real good at completely cutting your head off from the rest of your body - No feelings, no emotion, and no pain. I truly didn’t start processing stuff until after I was done.
  • When things are going sideways is when people show their true colors.
  • When I returned, God put it on my heart to mentor the next generation.
  • I’m a leadership coach & mentor for the University of Tennessee’s MBA program. I may not have the business expertise, but I’ve got a lot of leadership experience.
  • The only way you’re gonna get better is to be able to say “this is mine.” This I made that decision, and this is why I made that decision.
  • We learn more from our mistakes than we ever do when things go right.
  • I took me several weeks after I returned - and all of a sudden I woke up one day feeling like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders.
  • All the explosives, the blasts, the mortars, the rockets, the charges, the AC4’s – the damage done to the brain is devastating.
  • The healing journey has been the hardest thing for me. Part of that journey is not quitting om my family.
  • [In military leadership] We’re very good at controlling everything we can control.
  • There’s psychedelics treatment out there to really help us guys. My initial thought was “no way”, but it truly helped me.
