A Journey from Battlefield to Breakthrough with Eric John HorseyOn this Memorial Day, we share a remarkable story of resilience and redemption. Eric John Horsey was raised on a dairy farm in South Carolina, where early lessons in hard work and determination shaped his path. That path led him into military service as a Fleet Marine Force Corpsman, where he witnessed firsthand the harsh realities of war.But Eric's battles didn't end when he came home. He faced personal struggles with addiction and hopelessness—an internal war that nearly broke him. And yet, it didn't.Eric found his way through the darkness with faith, healing, and a renewed sense of purpose. Now, he's using music as his voice, and his debut album, Dirty Road, is a raw, honest reflection of his journey.It was an honor to sit down with my veteran brother, Eric John Horsey.

In this episode, we hear from Jared Lenahan, a US Navy Veteran. He was a combat medic for the Marine Corps known as a Fleet Marine Force Corpsman. After an accident overseas in 2016, he found himself going from climber to paraclimber. He used adaptive climbing as an integral part of his recovery and has competed as a US Paraclimbing Team Athlete for four years. Jared is also an ambassador for both the National Ability Center and Move United (a Warfighter ambassador for MU). Because the outdoor adaptive community has been so critical to his personal recovery, he started a program to help other wounded warriors get reintegrated into community through adaptive climbing. This program called “Climbable” introduces warriors to the adaptive sports community before they lose their military community and shows them a streamlined path to transition from recovery to the rest of their lives. In this interview, Jared and I talk about disability identity, imposter syndrome, addiction, and how climbing as a through-line in his life has guided his life decisions — especially the decision to start Climbable. We recorded this conversation in early 2024 with Jared hoping to officially launch the program by the summer of 2024.

Doc Todd is a combat veteran who proudly served our country as a Fleet Marine Force Corpsman (combat medic) in the United States Navy. Since Doc's honorable discharge in 2009, it's been seven years of life and civilian transition for him, including the ups and downs experienced by many young veterans who have dealt with the hard costs of war. Now, Doc has had enough… enough with the pain, enough with not fitting in, enough with the sorrow and anger of having another friend take his life. So in 2017, Doc took a leap of faith leaving a budding career in financial management to pursue a mission focused on impacting veterans' lives through music, just as he did eight years ago under the blazing Afghanistan sun, In June, Doc will debut his forthcoming hip-hop album, Combat Medicine – a follow-up to the album he released in 2009 about his emotions leading up to deployment. Combat Medicine is exactly what it sounds like – a no-holds-bar look into military life and veteran transition. His mission is simple – show veterans they're not alone and save lives. His memoir, also titled Combat Medicine, is set to launch later this year.

Sleep deprivation, poor eating habits, excessive caffeine intake, constant fight or flight state, and cumulative stress from the taxes and depletes our emotional state.

When Doc Todd left the Navy after spending three years as a corpsman, he didn’t have any transition assistance or training. He lost friends. He lost Marines. After separating from the military, he saw even more of his Marines take their own lives through substance abuse and suicide. It’s wasn’t the ending he had expected when he joined. He joined the Navy in 2007 after spending four years in sales and restaurant jobs. He wanted to experience some meaningful growth in his life and be part of something bigger than himself. That – to him – meant joining the U.S. Navy. Doc ended up spending the bulk of his time with Marines in “America’s Battalion,” 2nd Battalion 8th Marines. In 2009, he and his Marines were in Afghanistan in Operation Khanjar, the largest aerial insertion of Marine troops since the Vietnam War. Though he experienced his own struggles upon leaving the military, he didn’t turn to music as a means of coping. He actually waited until he had the strength to better express himself instead. Doc Todd in the studio. “Honestly, from an artistic perspective, I didn’t know who I was yet. Or who I was becoming,” Doc says. “I found it very difficult to make a statement musically when I didn’t know what to say.” When Doc picked himself up was when he was finally able to realize his purpose was helping others. Like a true corpsman, he never wanted to stop looking out for others. He saw too many overdoses, too many suicides. He decides to enter the veteran’s space, but to do it in his own way. In June 2017, his album Combat Medicine dropped to widespread acclaim and national praise, not to mention a flood of personal stories from those who listened to it and felt the message. Doc is currently working on a release titled “The Shadow Game EP,” on Runaway Train Records. Mandatory Fun guest: Doc Todd is combat veteran who proudly served our country as a Fleet Marine Force Corpsman (combat medic) in the United States Navy. Since Doc’s honorable discharge in 2009, Doc moved to Atlanta and worked at restaurants and a premier hospital, while he pursed his college education on the G.I. Bill. Doc graduated from Georgia State University magna cum laude with an undergraduate degree in studying Economics and Public Policy in 2014. He then joined Northwestern Mutual where he began to build a financial management practice, before pursuing his music. Doc resides in Atlanta with his wife Abby, two young daughters Savannah and Audrey, and dog Memphis, who Doc rescued shortly after coming home from war. 2017’s Combat Medicine Doc Todd’s Website Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube Spotify Pandora Apple Music Amazon
