This is what a brain injury looks like. 



Multiple TBI’s. 

Countless mTBI’s. 

Eating charges at the breach, close air support, shoulder fired weapons, grenades…

Literal skull rippling events endured multiple times a day for months on end. 

Memory - Attention - Emotions - Mood 

All impacted to this day. 

Am I okay? Yes. 

Am I hopeful? Heck yes. 

CTA: The only way to get through a chapter is to keep reading. Seek treatment—it’s out there!

6,146 veteran suicides in 2020

20 consecutive years of 6,000+ veteran suicides 

Veterans are at 57% higher risk of completing suicide

125k+ veteran suicides since 2001

It’s the 2nd leading cause of death in post-9/11 veterans—accounting for 22.3% of all deaths 

39,000 veterans experience homelessness—that’s 9% of the population that experiences homelessness. 

1.1 million veterans are living with a substance abuse disorder. 

To say we are failing is an understatement. 

What are you going to do about it?

Leadership is NOT…

- A title
- Authority
- Self-promoting  
- Being agreeable
- Telling people what to do
- Building followers
- About you

Leadership IS… 

- Positionless
- Earned everyday
- A privilege 
- Setting the example 
- Understanding the power of ‘No’
- Empowerment
- Building leaders 
- About your team

CTA: Don’t take for granted your ability to lead—it’s a choice.

Nothing changes if nothing changes. 



A study several years back revealed that 85% of what subjects worried about never happened. 

And of the remaining 15% that did occur, 79% of believed they either… 

learned something valuable

—OR—

handled the event better than expected. 

Meaning, 97% of the things we worry about are just over exaggerated mind punishing thoughts.

Michel de Montaigne once said: 

“My life has been filled with terrible misfortune; most of which never happened." 

So tell me, what are you so worried about?

Last year you saw me doing push-ups to raise awareness of the veteran suicide rate… this year,
I’m doing something more!  

Join me in supporting Greg VanDyne’s new initiative and help save lives!

I busted out crying at the barn tonight...



I just found out that an old good friend of mine took his life. This shook me & I have been masking all day.

The horse trainer sensed I was off and all she said was, "are you ok?" and I literally just burst out in tears like a bafoon. She was super sweet and hugged me. I felt stupid in the moment, but her empathy really helped me not beat myself up so much...because I hate crying in front of people.

I realized through my self awareness that sometimes it's just ok to not be ok. Even though I thought I wasn't repressing things...I subcontiously must've been. So instead I allowed the emotions to just "be". 

I think that we all need to give ourselves a little grace. Y'all know I preach #mentalhealth all the time & I hope you give yourself grace today & go talk to someone if you need it. 

Men especially - y'all are not alone and you are not weak to seek help. I wish my friend had, he'd probably still be here. 

He was also a #veteran - please check out CALLSIGN 22 if you are a vet or anyway dial 988 if any of you are needing help. 

Many of us are starving and it’s not for food. 



In a recent study, researchers had subjects spend 10 hours in a room alone. 

On a separate day, they had their subjects fast for 10 hours. 

After both days, they scanned their brains using fMRI. 

During those scans, they showed subjects pictures of social interactions and food. 

Scientists then compared the activity in the midbrain during both conditions—isolation vs. fasting. 

For reference, the midbrain is the region strongly associated with cravings for food and drugs of addiction. 

They found that after social isolation, exposure to social cues evoked a brain signature for social craving that is very similar to the craving for food after fasting. 

Unsurprisingly, the subjects most strongly impacted by isolation were those with richer social lives. 

But I think this study intuitively demonstrates connection as a basic human need. 

One that many of us neglect in ways we would never do with food.

CTA: 

Don’t run through the motions today. 

Connect with someone. 

Be intentional. 

Make it meaningful. 

Do it for the sake of being human. 

#trooptheline

Where attention goes, energy flows. 



Here’s to choosing wisely. 


Stay mindful my friends. 


✌️

Negativity is crippling. 

Positivity is fleeting. 

Neutrality is best. 

Show me the behaviors of your team and I’ll show you your future. 

The ones who…

Root down in reality. 

Welcome uncertainty. 

Focus on the present. 

And use positivity as a maintenance tool. 

Those are the teams dictating their own futures. 

CTA: Change your habits, change the world.

There is only one prerequisite for becoming a great leader. 



You have to commit to being a great person. 

Leadership is a 360 degree pursuit. 

It addresses the whole person. 

It doesn’t stop at what you do. 

It changes who you are

And not just you. 

But your team. 

Stay humble. 

Stay human. 

Stay you.

Here's a quick playbook on how to get help. 



Ask for it. 

🤘 

#trooptheline

If you want to get the best out of your people, you have to think the best OF your people. 



There is no other choice. 

Just a single path. 

Predetermined.

Mentall health is invisible. 

You can sound confident and have anxiety. 

You can show up everyday appearing “fine” and have suicidal thoughts. 

You can look happy and be miserable. 

You can have everything and feel worthless. 

You can smile or make jokes and have depression. 

It’s real. 

Don’t assume. Make the call. Be the voice.
