Doc Mac...the myth, the man, the legend. Husband, Dad, 37-year Veteran spanning Coast Guard, Navy, Air Force, rescue swimmer, avionics, search and rescue, and Emergency Medicine guru for 20+years...and still going strong.

Today's episode isn't just another story—it's a narrative of transformation and triumph with Carnell Smith Jr., or as he's known, Sgt WarDawg. His journey is a mirror to the many soldiers who return home to battles of a different kind—battles with PTSD, with reintegration, with finding a new mission in civilian life. His words are a beacon for the lost, as he passionately discusses his life's new direction: aiding homeless veterans through his organization and the invigorating power of nature. Keep an eye out for Sgt WarDawg's book and podcast, "The Wardawg Trail" releasing hopefully this year.
