Lessons in Leadership from a Vietnam War POW

How do I find my purpose as a veteran? How can I live a healthy life after military service? What resources and benefits are available for veterans? Does PTSD ever go away? How do I manage my stress and anxiety? And how do I find a community I feel comfortable engaging? Whether you are a military veteran asking these questions or your loved one served, welcome home.

This show is hosted by Danny Mayberry, a veteran Navy corpsman who served for nearly 12 years, with multiple combat deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq. He works through suicidal thoughts, PTSD and chronic pain by embracing a holistic approach to life. Every time you need a friend, he’ll be waiting for you so subscribe to the show to get notified of new releases every Wednesday.
