On this episode of Veteran On the Move, Joe is joined by retired Marine Corps Pilot Garret Biss. After experiencing the difficulty of his own transition, Garret is now dedicated to helping his fellow Veterans. Episode Resources: Garret Biss     About Our Guest    Garret Biss is a retired Marine Corps Pilot. Post-retirement in 2015, Garret confronted challenges common among veterans: anxiety, depression, and a sense of displacement. Turning to alcohol as a crutch, it wasn't until suicidal ideation took hold that he sought change. Rather than traditional addiction treatments, Garret's path was shaped by mentoring that emphasized self-worth, rediscovering identity, and tapping into inherent strengths. This approach not only alleviated his addictive behaviors but also reignited his passion for life. This started Garret's journey into studying applied positive psychology and the science of human flourishing. Garret's transformative experience sparked his commitment to assisting others with personal growth and recovery tools grounded in positivity and personal strengths. Garret's purpose now extends beyond helping Veterans emerge from the darkness; his aim is to propel Veterans to their highest potential for happiness, well-being, success, and contribution.   About Our Sponsors Navy Federal Credit Union   Navy Federal Credit Union thinks that tapping into your home's equity shouldn't come at a high price.
