How do you choose between a remarkable military career and putting family first?

Keyth Pankau, a retired U.S. Coast Guard officer, shares his journey from serving in Fallujah with the Navy Seabees to leading humanitarian missions after Hurricane Katrina. Despite a passion for disaster response and crisis management, Keyth’s most defining moment came when he prioritized his daughter’s future over his career.

In this Unarmored Talk podcast episode, Keyth reflects on the emotional challenges of this decision and the lessons he learned about leadership, sacrifice, and identity. We explore how his faith and values provided clarity during one of the toughest choices of his life and how stepping back from the Coast Guard allowed him to embrace his role as a father. His story is one of service to his country and his family, with profound insights for anyone facing a difficult crossroads.
