This week, I had the honor of being interviewed by Ben Killoy on the Military Veteran Dad podcast. As a Marine veteran himself, Ben is on a mission with his podcast to Bring Every Dad Home. I didn’t serve but grew up in a veteran household where the effects of my Dad’s Army days in Vietnam have challenged him throughout life and led to a divorce and estrangement from me and my brother.

This topic is way outside of my usual comfort zone but extremely important for me to ponder as a father and may be helpful for others as well. It also offers a new vantage point on Ben’s theme and is a perfect crossover to the self-improvement and parenting topics I cover with my audience. I would highly encourage the Man of Mastery community to tune in for this episode and subscribe to the Military Veteran Dad podcast for new content weekly.
