Hey, Comedy Lovers! ✤ Welcome to "Ian Lara" ⭐ All advice is bad advice, please do adult things and put this podcast on in the background.
Dr. T welcomes ceremonial transpersonal counselor Michael Gueron, founder of Kintu Worlds, for a conversation about combat trauma, ayahuasca, ceremonial practice, and the responsibilities involved in creating safe medicine spaces. Michael describes how military service profoundly altered his sense of self and how the loss of a fellow soldier affected his unit. After leaving the military, the symptoms of PTSD became increasingly apparent, eventually contributing to a longer search for healing. His introduction to ayahuasca in Australia became an important point in that process and ultimately led to years of personal medicine work and ceremonial facilitation. Michael and Dr. T explore the cultural dimensions of ayahuasca practice and the complexities that arise as traditional medicine moves beyond its original cultural contexts. Michael argues that different cultures bring distinct psychological patterns, histories, and ways of relating into ceremony, requiring facilitators to understand the people they serve rather than simply reproduce another culture's practices. The conversation also examines Michael's approach to ceremonial safety, including clear boundaries, protection, presence, self-knowledge, and what he describes as working from the heart. For Michael, the heart is not associated with sentimentality, but with clarity, embodied presence, and an immediate capacity to perceive what is occurring within a ceremonial space. Dr. T and Michael consider what these perspectives might mean as psychedelic therapy increasingly brings clinical psychotherapy into contact with ceremonial and spiritual frameworks. They discuss tensions between medical models and traditional approaches, the importance of ethical standards among underground practitioners, and the possibility of greater collaboration among ceremonial communities. Michael also reflects on mortality, friendship, community, and the relationships that help people endure difficult periods of life. His experiences of combat and trauma inform a perspective in which medicine work is not only concerned with individual transformation, but also with cultivating connection, responsibility, kindness, and meaningful participation in community. “You know, and this is medicine of friendship. You know, cultivate that friendship, that support. And that's what keeps us strong; and have a listening ear. Listen. We don't have to say so much. Just listen and be kind to each other, and that's it.” — Michael Gueron About Michael Gueron: Michael's journey began in Israel, where early life experiences, including military service as a member of the Israeli Paratroopers, left deep emotional wounds. Overcoming the trauma of these intense combat experiences led Michael to a profound healing journey spanning over 15 years. From studying transpersonal counseling, Shiatsu, and oriental therapies, to immersing himself in sacred plant medicine traditions in Peru and Brazil, Michael's path has been one of relentless transformation. His work with Australian acacias and master plants like Ayahuasca and Huachuma has awakened profound soul memories and a deep commitment to service. Today, Michael has facilitated thousands of individuals in their healing journeys, combining ancient wisdom with compassionate care. All Things Ayahuasca podcast Website: KintuWorlds.com Key Moments: [00:00:00] Introduction and Content Warning Truth Fairy and Dr. T open the episode with a content warning and information about supporting Punk Therapy and upcoming training opportunities. [00:02:26] Meet Michael Gueron Dr. T introduces ceremonial transpersonal counselor Michael Gueron and his background in trauma healing, meditation, traditional practices, and plant medicine. [00:05:04] Stepping Out of the Shadows Michael discusses his preference for working quietly behind the scenes and why he believes sharing knowledge publicly is increasingly important. [00:07:16] Combat Trauma and the Path to Ayahuasca Michael describes military service in Israel, his experience of PTSD, and the healing journey that eventually brought him to ayahuasca. [00:10:43] Art, Nature, and Life Before the Military Michael reflects on his early connection to creativity, nature, animals, and the landscape before entering military service. [00:13:59] Military Service as a Rite of Passage Michael explores how military training, combat, loss, and the bonds between soldiers fundamentally changed his sense of self. [00:18:48] Culture and the Western Psyche Michael and Dr. T examine how ayahuasca is moving across cultures and why different cultural and ancestral contexts shape medicine experiences. [00:23:55] Boundaries and Ceremonial Safety The conversation turns to the importance of clarity, boundaries, protection, and strong containment when facilitating medicine ceremonies. [00:28:51] Where Therapy Meets Ceremonial Practice Dr. T and Michael consider what conventional psychotherapy may encounter as psychedelic therapy increasingly intersects with spiritual and ceremonial experiences. [00:33:51] What It Means to Work From the Heart Michael distinguishes embodied presence and clarity from sentimental ideas of the heart and explains their importance in his ceremonial practice. [00:37:17] Perception and Presence in Ceremony Michael describes his auditory and intuitive ways of tracking what is occurring for individuals and within the wider ceremonial space. [00:42:25] Working Across Cultures and Worldviews Michael discusses ancestry, cultural understanding, human connection, and finding common ground when working with people from different backgrounds. [00:46:35] Mortality, Fear, and Meaning Michael reflects on encounters with death and how awareness of mortality can change the way people understand fear, life, and medicine work. [00:48:59] The Future of Ayahuasca and Psychedelic Medicine Dr. T and Michael discuss legalization, medical models, ceremonial traditions, and possible pathways toward greater recognition of ayahuasca practice. [00:58:14] Friendship, Community, and Kindness Michael closes with a call for connection, listening, friendship, and simple acts of kindness as forms of medicine within communities. __ Contact Punk Therapy: Patreon: Patreon.com/PunkTherapy Website: PunkTherapy.com Email: info@punktherapy.com Contact Truth Fairy: Email: Truth@PunkTherapy.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On this powerful edition of The Philip Teresi Show, Philip sits down with Major Terry Slatic to discuss one of the defining moments of his life and military career: the decision to put the uniform back on following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Like many Americans, Terry watched in shock as the attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and Flight 93 changed the nation forever. But unlike most, he answered the call to serve, returning to military duty during a time when America was preparing for a new and uncertain war. Major Slatic shares his personal story of service, sacrifice, leadership, and patriotism in the years that followed 9/11.

This episode is presented by Mightier. In 1988, Jaime and Tracy Parent were stationed in England when their son Bryan was diagnosed with autism. There was nothing out there. No resources, no roadmap, no Rain Man yet. What they found instead was other families, and Jaime says that has been their best resource ever since. Jaime is a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel with twenty years of service, and a family that moved every three years. Every move meant starting over. New doctors, new teachers, new school district, and a lot of guesswork about which house to buy so they landed in the county with the services Bryan needed. In this Seen and Heard conversation, he talks about the day clinicians at a UCLA residency program asked what their goals for Bryan were. A job, drive a car, balance a checkbook. He says the looks on their faces were pure pity. You poor delusional people. Bryan is an adult now. He works at Publix, he lives at home, and he competes in Special Olympics bowling, soccer, and basketball. He also tells the wrestling story. Bryan made the team at Oakland Mills High School in Maryland with no shortcuts, wrestled heavyweight, won matches, and went to regionals, states, and nationals. The first time Jaime watched him wrestle, Bryan got pinned in about thirty seconds. His dad calls it one of the biggest wins of their lives. Then there is the part aimed at the rest of us. Jaime's advice to other autism families is four words: don't become a wallflower. His message about bureaucracy is that there are big boulders everywhere, but get past them and you will find angels. And his message to military families is one you need before you separate. Autism does not end with your military service. Jaime B. Parent and Elizabeth Tracy Parent are the authors of The Mission at Home: Navigating Military Assignments, TRICARE, Education, Benefits, and Everyday Life with Your Child on the Autism Spectrum. Available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. SPONSOR This episode is presented by Mightier. Mightier is a biofeedback video game program developed and tested at Boston Children's Hospital.

Veterans don't lose jobs because of experience—they lose them in the interview. Here's how to change that.Landing a civilian job takes more than a great résumé. It takes confidence, preparation, and knowing how to communicate your military experience in a way hiring managers understand.In this episode of VET S.O.S., Shawn Welsh and Keith Cassant welcome Pat Hubbell, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Candorful, to unpack one of the biggest challenges veterans face during transition: interviewing. Pat explains why veterans are often fully qualified for civilian careers but struggle to sell themselves in interviews, and how realistic mock interviews with experienced hiring managers can dramatically improve confidence, performance, and hiring outcomes. In This Episode, You'll Discover:• Learn why practicing three or more mock interviews can dramatically improve your confidence before the real interview. • Understand why veterans are prepared for civilian jobs—but often not prepared for civilian interviews—and how to bridge that gap. • Discover why networking leads to nearly 80% of job opportunities and hear practical advice on building relationships that open doors. • Hear how Candorful connects veterans and military spouses with volunteer hiring managers from companies like Amazon, Oracle, Dell, Verizon, and PwC for real-world interview coaching. • Gain insight into what hiring managers should focus on when interviewing veterans—including why character matters more than assumptions or first impressions. About Pat HubbellPat Hubbell is the Co-Founder and Executive Director of Candorful, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping transitioning service members, veterans, and military spouses succeed in civilian careers through personalized interview coaching. With more than four decades of experience in engineering, management consulting, higher education, and career development, she has helped thousands navigate career transitions.

Send us your admissions questions!How can military veterans translate their service, leadership, and clinical experience into a strong PA school application? In this episode of Admissions Straight Talk, host Dr. Valerie Wherley speaks with Brandon R. Beattie, MMSc, PA-C, assistant professor and program director, about the George Washington University (GW) PA Program, the military roots of the PA profession, and the opportunities and barriers veterans face when applying to PA school.Brandon brings both admissions expertise and lived experience to the conversation. Before becoming a PA, he served as a U.S. Army combat medic during multiple overseas tours. He later completed his PA training at Yale and now leads one of the country's long-standing PA programs, which was founded in 1972 and was ranked sixth (tied with Baylor College of Medicine) in U.S. News & World Report's 2025 Best Physician Assistant Programs rankings.The conversation focuses on how veterans can tell their stories in ways that admissions committees will understand. Brandon explains why military jargon, acronyms, and modesty can sometimes hide the depth of an applicant's experience. He also shares practical advice for the PA application process, including proofreading, clarifying military roles for civilian readers, choosing recommendation writers strategically, and showing evidence of grit, teamwork, communication, coachability, and mission fit.If you are a veteran considering PA school, this episode offers a clear framework for presenting military service as a strength, not a complication.0:00 From Military Service to PA School01:32 What Sets the GW PA Program Apart03:25 Veterans and the Origins of the PA Profession05:27 Strengths Veterans Bring to PA School07:03 Barriers Veterans Face in the Application Process15:06 Strategies for a Strong PA Application18:12 Choosing the Right Recommenders20:21 What GW Looks for in Competitive ApplicantsRelated Resources:Brandon R.

Greg Potapenko on Tactical Snacks, Military Service, and Veteran Entrepreneurship I first met Greg Potapenko at Military Creator Con 2026. During some very long days at the conference, his Tactical Snack Packs helped keep us going. That made me curious about the veteran and entrepreneur behind the brand. In this episode of Oscar Mike Radio, Greg joins me to talk about military service, entrepreneurship, and what happens when you take the skills developed in uniform and apply them to a new mission. From Canadian Army Warrant Officer to Entrepreneur Greg served 23 years in the Canadian Army before retiring as a warrant officer and transitioning into the business world. Like many veterans, taking off the uniform didn’t mean he was finished serving. Instead, Greg found a new way to support the military and first responder communities through Tactical Snacks. We discuss how his military experience developed the leadership, discipline, adaptability, and mission-focused mindset he now brings to entrepreneurship. The Mission Behind Tactical Snacks Tactical Snacks is a healthier snack brand created with military personnel and first responders in mind. But Greg wanted to build something bigger than food. For him, Tactical Snacks is also about morale, connection, and community. It is a brand built by someone who understands the people he wants to serve. Greg also brings extensive experience in digital marketing and business acquisitions to the company. We talk about lessons he’s learned as an entrepreneur, why staying focused is critical when building a business, and why creating a community around your mission can be more powerful than simply trying to sell a product. Taking Tactical Snacks to Military Installations Greg is just getting started. One of his goals is expanding Tactical Snacks onto U.S. military installations through the Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES). It’s an ambitious next step for a veteran-owned brand with a mission to serve military members and first responders. What stood out to me throughout our conversation was how naturally Greg carried his military leadership into entrepreneurship. His story demonstrates something many veterans discover during transition: leaving the military doesn’t mean leaving the mission behind. Sometimes, it means finding a new way to serve. Learn more about Tactical Snacks at: https://tactical-snacks.com/ Greg, thank you for joining me on Oscar Mike Radio, sharing your journey, and continuing to support the military and first responder communities. We are Mission in Flight!
Dean Karayanis, New York Sun columnist and former Rush Limbaugh staffer, tackles political double standards surrounding military draft deferments, calling out Senator John Ossoff for calling President Trump a “draft dodger,” while President Biden had more medical deferments and President Clinton headed to the U.K. Is avoiding the draft noble or worthy of ridicule? Dean breaks down historical context regarding health exemptions, addresses ignoring the legitimate heroism of President George H.W. Bush and Senator Bob Dole in World War II, and the attacks on National Guardsmen President George W. Bush and Vice President Dan Quayle as “weekend warriors,” while praising Democrats with similar service — all because Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) likes to wrap himself in the flag. This frustration contributed to the rise of Donald Trump. Dean also examines media bias in news aggregators like Apple and Google before diving into a commentary on modern "safetyism," arguing that overprotecting children from physical and emotional risks does more harm than good.

What happens when the career that helped define you ends—and life hands you an entirely different mission? U.S. Air Force EOD veteran Erin Willoby, founder of Buffalo Gals Company, joins The Toosday Crüe for a deeply personal conversation about military service, identity, marriage, caregiving, resilience and finding purpose after leaving the military. Erin entered the Air Force in 2002 and took on one of the military's toughest career fields: Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD). At a time when female EOD technicians were still extraordinarily rare, Erin remembers being told that women typically didn't make it through the training. She took that as a challenge. Erin graduated from EOD school at Eglin Air Force Base and earned her place in the EOD community. But her military career took an unexpected turn when asthma and medical concerns forced her to confront a devastating decision: continue pursuing the career she loved or step away rather than risk putting herself or another technician in danger. Leaving active duty also created a struggle many veterans understand—the loss of identity that can come when military service ends before you expected it to. But Erin's story was far from over. Years later, her husband and fellow EOD technician, Stephen, suffered a catastrophic diving accident that left him with a C6 incomplete spinal cord injury and quadriplegia. At the time, Erin and Stephen had already divorced. Then one phone call changed everything. As Stephen fought for his life, the problems that had once seemed large suddenly became insignificant. Erin returned to his side, the two reconnected, and eventually remarried from his hospital bed before beginning the long road of rehabilitation and rebuilding their lives together. Erin opens up about becoming a military caregiver, learning how to build a marriage again under unimaginable circumstances, and the hard-earned lessons they discovered about communication, forgiveness, grace and fighting for one another. She also shares one piece of advice for caregivers and military families facing a life-changing injury: The situation you are facing today may feel impossible—but with each day, you learn, adapt and become better equipped to face what comes next. The conversation also explores Erin's continued connection to the EOD community and her struggle with feeling worthy of calling herself an EOD technician because her active-duty career was cut short. The Crüe has a very different message for her: You volunteered. You completed the training. You earned the badge. You were EOD. Period. That identity eventually became part of Erin's next mission. A lifelong artist, Erin began using creativity as a form of therapy. What started as artwork eventually grew into Buffalo Gals Company, where she creates original art, apparel, gifts and designs inspired by the EOD, military, veteran, first responder and public-service communities. Her work also provides another way to give back to the EOD family that has meant so much to her. In this episode, Erin and The Toosday Crüe discuss: Becoming a female Air Force EOD technician What EOD school was really like Women in Explosive Ordnance Disposal Leaving the military because of a medical condition Losing your identity after military service The bond of the EOD community Life as both an EOD veteran and military spouse Stephen's catastrophic spinal cord injury Becoming a military caregiver Divorce, reconciliation and remarrying from a hospital bed Marriage after catastrophic injury Caregiver burnout, communication and resilience Veteran mental health and identity after service Finding purpose after leaving the military Using art as therapy Veteran entrepreneurship Founding Buffalo Gals Company Creating EOD artwork with deeper meaning Giving back to the EOD Warrior Foundation and EOD community Erin's story is ultimately about something many veterans, caregivers and military families understand: The mission can change without your purpose disappearing. Sometimes rebuilding becomes the mission. Sometimes caregiving becomes the mission. Sometimes creating something meaningful from everything you've survived becomes the mission. And sometimes the community you thought you left behind reminds you that you were part of it all along.

Leaving the military is often framed as the end of the hard part, but for many service members the transition home is where the real struggle begins. This conversation examines why the move from military to civilian life carries such weight on mental health, and what clinicians and communities can do to recognize the risk and meet veterans where they are.

Leadership in the Marine Corps is often associated with uncompromising toughness and strict command. But the most impactful leaders learn to balance high standards with genuine empathy, recognizing that an organization's true strength comes from investing directly in the success of its people.I've spent a lot of time reflecting on the evolution of military culture, and today's Marines are sharper, highly observant, and deeply focused on purpose and authenticity. In this conversation, LtGen Watson and I dive in to his three-decade career in the United States Marine Corps: from his early days as an ROTC midshipman to commanding the 1st Marine Division and Training and Education Command and explore the critical transition from "tough guy" leadership and the lessons learned from leading through high-visibility commands like 8th & I and the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory.Whether discussing the "reverse Pony Express" mentality of leadership turnover or the duty to stay connected to junior Marines, LtGen Watson emphasizes that a leader's ultimate mandate is to set their people up to win. Today's episode offers a meaningful masterclass in character, humility, and modern military command.
What happens when your military career ends...but your greatest mission is still ahead of you? In this inspiring episode of Create Wealth Through Franchising, Kim Daly sits down with Marine veteran Ken Schoonover to discuss the journey from military service to business ownership—and why success in franchising has far less to do with the business you choose than the person you become while building it. Ken opens by sharing one of his very first missions as a young Marine, leading ten men through Japan without speaking the language. It was an experience that demanded leadership, adaptability, problem-solving, and trust under pressure. Years later, he realized those same qualities would become some of his greatest assets as a franchise owner. After exploring franchising for several years and speaking with multiple franchise consultants, Ken met Kim Daly. Kim gave him one condition: "If we're going to work together, I need to be your only consultant." She wasn't interested in competing for his attention. She was interested in helping him find the right opportunity through clarity, alignment, and trust. As a committed Christian, Ken immediately connected with Kim's perspective on mindset, faith, purpose, and possibility. While exploring franchise opportunities, he also joined The Zee Suite® during the original Suite Deal, where the lessons on mindset, goal setting, and personal leadership began changing the way he approached both business and life. One book, in particular, tied everything together: The Strangest Secret by Earl Nightingale. What began as one of Kim's favorite books soon became one of Ken's. It helped him realize something every entrepreneur eventually faces: The greatest obstacle to success wasn't the market...or the franchise...it was his own comfort. Like many new business owners, Ken discovered he enjoyed doing the work. But building wealth required something different. It required becoming comfortable being uncomfortable. His military training reminded him that growth has always lived on the other side of uncertainty. Ken also shares why he ultimately chose Paint EZ—not because he dreamed of owning a painting company, but because he fell in love with the people. Their culture. Their leadership. Their values. Their mission. He discovered what Kim has taught for more than two decades: Franchising is a people business. You aren't simply investing in a business model. You're choosing a team you'll build your future alongside. The episode also explores one of the most overlooked parts of entrepreneurship: Spousal alignment. Ken and Michelle openly discuss the conversations, questions, and trust required before making a decision that impacts an entire family. Together, they demonstrate the power of moving forward with shared vision instead of fear. Whether you're a veteran transitioning into civilian life, a professional considering business ownership, or someone searching for greater purpose after one successful career, this conversation offers hope, wisdom, and practical lessons for your next chapter. If you're exploring franchise ownership—or already own a franchise and want to become the leader your business needs—Kim would love to help. In this episode you'll learn: ✔️ Why military leadership translates so well to franchise ownership ✔️ The importance of choosing people and culture—not just a business ✔️ How faith, mindset, and personal growth create stronger business owners ✔️ Why spousal alignment matters before investing in a franchise ✔️ How The Strangest Secret helped transform Ken's thinking ✔️ Why comfort is often the greatest obstacle to success ✔️ The role The Zee Suite® played in helping Ken prepare...

My guest for this and next week's podcast episodes is Jason Castleberry, whose life was forever changed by the realities of war. Before becoming a pastor, Jason served in the military as a UAV (drone) operator, witnessing the devastation of conflict from a perspective that left deep emotional scars. After returning home from deployment, he struggled to function in everyday life and was diagnosed with PTSD and depression. When his hopes of continuing his military career came to an unexpected end, he was overwhelmed by shame, regret, and the painful question of how to move forward. In this episode, Jason courageously shares the impact of trauma on his mind, heart, and identity. The horrors of war left him feeling broken and uncertain about his future, but God had not abandoned him. As Jason came to know Jesus more deeply, he began a journey of healing, restoration, and renewed purpose. His story offers hope to anyone carrying the invisible wounds of trauma, reminding us that no pain is beyond the reach of God's grace and redeeming love.

Prof. George Kalantzis returns for a third comment on one of the Bible's most well-known verses, John 3:16. A seemingly small question – should the English pronoun 'his' be inserted where the Greek has only the article 'the'? – swells with importance when viewed through the lens of the church's theological growth over the centuries following the apostles. Dr. George Kalantzis is Professor of Theology and Director of The Wheaton Center for Early Christian Studies at Wheaton College. Among his publications are Theodore of Mopsuestia: Gospel of John and Caesar and the Lamb: Early Christian Attitudes on War and Military Service. He has been editor or co-editor of several volumes, including, Christian Dying: Witnesses from the Tradition.

Father Chris Palladino, J.C.L., on New Role as Judicial Vicar by Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA
Episode 255 of the Transition Drill podcast explores military transition, identity after service, entrepreneurship for veterans and first responders navigating life after a long military career, and becoming a USC Graduate . You'll hear Angela Baker-Creary on losing both her military identity and her father at the same time, and what it takes to rebuild your purpose when the future you planned suddenly disappears.Angela reflects on entering the military as an 18-year-old who initially viewed it as nothing more than a job. She shares the lessons she wishes she had learned earlier about education, professional development, mentorship, and preparing for life after service. As her career progressed through assignments in Mississippi, Korea, Japan, South Dakota, North Carolina, Germany, and Illinois, she discovered a passion for leadership, continuous improvement, and serving others. The attacks of September 11 fundamentally changed how she viewed military service, transforming it from employment into a mission larger than herself.Assigned to medical administration, Angela eventually earned one of the Air Force's most respected Aero Medical Evacuation assignments, coordinating the movement of critically ill and injured service members around the world. Her work demanded precision, leadership, and the confidence to make decisions that directly affected patient care, reinforcing the importance of preparation, teamwork, and accountability.Just as retirement approached, Angela's life changed dramatically. After her humanitarian request to care for her terminally ill father was denied, she made the emotional decision to retire early. Within a short period, she lost both her father and the military career that had defined much of her adult life. The grief, combined with PTSD, made pursuing a career in homeland security impossible despite earning a master's degree in the field.Instead of giving up, Angela rediscovered an old passion she hadn't fully recognized.

What happens when an active-duty Air Force officer, elite athlete, and aspiring astronaut suddenly finds his health slipping away—and no one can explain why? In this episode of the Tick Boot Camp Podcast, we sit down with Major Trent Vonich, a United States Air Force officer whose relentless pursuit of answers led him through years of unexplained symptoms, medical uncertainty, and ultimately a diagnosis of Lyme disease and multiple tick-borne infections. Trent shares his remarkable journey from military service and elite physical performance to chronic illness, recovery, and a renewed mission focused on research, education, and helping others navigate the challenges of tick-borne disease. His story is one of resilience, perseverance, and discovering that purpose can evolve even when life takes an unexpected turn. Meet Major Trent Vonich Major Trent Vonich is an active-duty United States Air Force officer, former Combat Rescue Officer, endurance athlete, researcher, and PhD candidate whose life changed dramatically after developing a complex chronic illness linked to tick-borne infections. Throughout his military career, Trent pursued some of the Air Force's most demanding opportunities while maintaining a passion for endurance sports, leadership, and scientific inquiry. When mysterious symptoms began impacting his health and performance, he embarked on a years-long search for answers that would ultimately reshape both his personal and professional life. Today, he continues serving his country while advancing research, education, and awareness surrounding complex chronic illnesses. A Life Built Around Performance Before illness entered the picture, Trent's life revolved around excellence. As a Combat Rescue Officer, he trained and operated in one of the military's most physically and mentally demanding environments. Outside of his military duties, he pushed himself through endurance athletics and maintained an unwavering commitment to peak performance. Fitness, resilience, discipline, and service were central to his identity. Then everything began to change. When Symptoms Started to Appear What began as subtle health concerns gradually developed into a constellation of symptoms that became increasingly difficult to ignore. Trent experienced: Severe fatigue Brain fog Sleep disturbances Cognitive challenges Chronic pain Exercise intolerance Neurological symptoms Autonomic dysfunction Reduced athletic performance Unexplained declines in overall health As symptoms progressed, activities that once felt routine became increasingly difficult. Like many Lyme disease patients, he found himself knowing something was wrong long before he had an explanation. The Long Search for Answers Despite extensive medical evaluations, Trent struggled to find a diagnosis that fully explained what he was experiencing. He consulted numerous healthcare providers, underwent extensive testing, and explored a variety of possible explanations for his symptoms. Yet many of the answers fell short. The experience highlighted a challenge familiar to many in the Lyme community: living with very real symptoms while struggling to obtain clear answers from the medical system. As his condition continued to impact both his health and career, the search became increasingly urgent. Discovering Lyme Disease and Co-Infections Eventually, Trent's investigation led him to the possibility of tick-borne disease. Further evaluation revealed Lyme disease along with associated co-infections, helping explain the complex and multisystem nature of his symptoms. For the first time, many of the seemingly unrelated health issues began to fit together. The diagnosis provided validation, clarity, and a path forward. But as many patients discover, receiving a diagnosis is often only the beginning of the journey. Treatment, Recovery, and Rebuilding Health Trent discusses the comprehensive approach he used to address his illness and begin rebuilding his health. His recovery journey included: Treating Lyme disease and co-infections Addressing inflammation and immune dysfunction Improving sleep quality Optimizing nutrition Modifying exercise and training strategies Managing stress and recovery capacity Long-term health monitoring Rather than relying on a single intervention, Trent learned that recovery required addressing multiple aspects of health simultaneously. His experience reinforces an important lesson for many chronic illness patients: healing often requires persistence, patience, and a willingness to adapt. The Mental and Emotional Impact of Chronic Illness For someone whose identity was deeply connected to physical performance, the emotional impact of chronic illness was profound. Trent reflects on the challenges of watching his capabilities change while confronting uncertainty about his future. The experience forced him to reconsider long-held assumptions about success, achievement, and self-worth. Through that process, he developed a deeper understanding of resilience—one rooted not in physical performance alone, but in adaptability, perspective, and perseverance. Navigating Chronic Illness While Serving on Active Duty One of the most unique aspects of Trent's story is that it unfolded while he continued serving in the United States Air Force. During the interview, he discusses: Seeking medical care within the military healthcare system Balancing military responsibilities with chronic illness Communicating symptoms to healthcare providers Managing uncertainty during the diagnostic process Maintaining professional performance while struggling physically The challenges faced by service members dealing with complex chronic illnesses His perspective offers valuable insight for active-duty military personnel, veterans, and first responders facing similar health challenges. A Different Way to Serve Lyme disease changed the trajectory of Trent's military career, but it did not end his commitment to service. Health challenges ultimately led him away from operational flying and special operations duties, requiring him to rethink some of his long-term career goals. Rather than viewing those changes as an ending, Trent embraced a new mission. Today, he continues serving through advanced academic research, doctoral studies, mentorship, and future teaching opportunities. His story demonstrates that purpose is not tied to a single role or title. Sometimes life's greatest challenges reveal entirely new ways to contribute and make an impact. Lessons Learned Along the Way Throughout the conversation, Trent shares several powerful lessons: Trust your instincts when something feels wrong. Persistence is often necessary to find answers. Chronic illness affects every aspect of life—not just physical health. Recovery is rarely linear. Identity can survive even when circumstances change. Resilience is built through adaptation. Service can take many forms. Purpose often emerges from adversity. Why This Episode Matters Major Trent Vonich's story extends far beyond Lyme disease. It is a story about perseverance in the face of uncertainty, the importance of self-advocacy, and the power of finding meaning when life does not go according to plan. For Lyme disease patients, his experience provides validation that complex symptoms can be real even when answers are difficult to find. For military members, athletes, and high performers, his journey serves as a reminder that strength is not defined solely by physical capability but by the willingness to continue moving forward despite adversity. Most importantly, his story offers hope.

Most people think of a Marine general and picture a lifetime of infantry commands and combat deployments. They'd be right about Dave Bellon but they'd be missing half the story.In this conversation, Lieutenant General Dave Bellon (Ret.) pulls back the curtain on the parts of his career he rarely talks about: switching from JAG officer to infantry lieutenant, back to JAG, and into a capital murder defense case that put him at the center of one of Camp Pendleton's most high-profile court martials defending a Marine convicted of killing a fellow officer in broad daylight. Then there's the story of Task Force Scorpion, a rocket strike that took out a regimental commander within days of his arrival, and a chaplain who cleared the room and gave two majors communion before sending them back to fight.Dave and I have been friends since TBS, and this episode is about what you learn watching someone you've known since they were a lieutenant become a three-star general and what he learned along the way about command, compassion, humility, and what actually matters when the uniform comes off.FOLLOW, SUBSCRIBE, AND SUPPORTJoin the Moments in Leadership Supercast communityhttps://mil.supercast.com/Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/moments-in-leadership/id1547856712Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/1hQl53NzCiJwlWS9xQZFw9YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@MomentsinLeadershipOfficial Websitehttps://www.momentsinleadership.com
Leaving the military does not always come with a perfectly mapped-out plan. Sometimes the next step is a stepping stone. Sometimes it opens doors you didn't even know existed, and sometimes it leads you to build something completely new. In this episode, I'm talking with Sinon Bennett, a former Navy submarine officer who went on to work in private banking at J.P. Morgan before co-founding Wavvest, a fintech company helping modernize advisor operations and financial planning through AI and technology. Sinon shares what the Navy taught him about problem-solving, how private banking exposed him to a whole new side of money and business, and what it really took to move Wavvest from an idea to a company with paying customers. We also talk about customer discovery, finding the right co-founder, hearing no, knowing when to pivot, and why service members need to think about their financial runway if they want to build something after military service.

Episode 254 of the Transition Drill podcast explores military spouse transition, family stress, and life after service for veterans, first responders, and military families navigating retirement from high-demand careers. You'll hear Angela DeJarnette on what happens when the uniform comes off, the family system changes, and what it takes to rebuild communication, purpose, and support before the home breaks under the weight of transition.Angie grew up in Franklin, Tennessee, and never planned on becoming a military spouse. Before marrying her husband, a Navy SEAL, she had built her own professional life in commercial real estate and was serving as vice president of her firm. Then came the promise of “one more deployment,” a courthouse marriage, and a life that stretched into 17 more years of military service.Angie talks about the hidden cost of service on the spouse and family. She shares what it was like to live overseas, adapt to isolation in Okinawa, give up control over parts of her life, and build strength through the women around her. While her husband deployed, trained, and served, Angie became the person holding the house, the kids, the decisions, and the emotional weight together.But the hardest transition wasn't a move. It was retirement. When her husband left the SEAL teams in 2019, the family struggled. They were yelling, missing each other emotionally, and learning that they'd been talking at each other instead of to each other. Angie explains how therapy, somatic work, nervous system regulation, and honest communication helped them rebuild.That personal experience became part of her mission. Angie founded The Steps Foundation to support military spouses, female veterans, and Gold Star families through the stress, trauma, identity loss, and uncertainty that come with military transition. Today, STEPS provides long-term support, virtual programming, community connection, and practical tools to help women rebuild their health, purpose, boundaries, and family stability.This episode is a direct reminder that transition doesn't just happen to the service member. It happens to the whole family.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comSPONSORS:GRND Collective: Premium, veteran-owned sportswear built for those who show up, outwork the excuses, and give 100%.

Patrick tackles the heated debate over renaming the Department of Defense to the Department of War, weighing whether this signals realignment or empty bravado, while threading through the risks faced by religious minorities as government classifications shift and anti-Catholic voices grow bolder among power brokers. One moment snaps into focus on the rise of Christian nationalism and the uneasy possibility of theocracy-influenced policy; the next, Patrick pivots to the digital anxieties fracturing generations as technology encroaches on how people gather and worship. Listeners drop raw testimony about confession and faith, lending the episode its unpredictable charge. Patrick reads and responds to emails questioning the way he says “The Department of War” (00:53) Jamie – Regarding the Dept. of War list, is it a bigger concern that Catholics one day will be taken off that list of recognized religions? (05:39) Patrick reads and responds to a Mormon military officer’s post about the Dept. of War’s updated list of recognized religions (18:55) Patrick in Atlanta - The liberal inroads have been made in the military and degraded the morale and morality of the institution. The reset on the name of it is according to structure change and organizational change. (23:51) Ann - Will the Archdiocese of Military Services be protected and will Mass continue for the Catholics overseas? (28:32) Bear attacks in Japan (33:36) Patrick responds to an email about young people not liking A.I. (39:20) Jennifer (email) - I almost became a Sedevecantist.
