Diving into the unbreakable “family that chose each other” formed within their unit and the subsequent journey of self-discovery after service.
This episode features a candid and powerful sit-down with fellow Marine veteran Armando Vega. They share visceral military anecdotes, exposing the frustration of dealing with incompetent leadership obsessed with “looking good on paper,” contrasted with the resourcefulness of the troops who famously jury-rigged comms over a mountain with slash wire despite having broken equipment.
Armando connects his lifelong struggle with anxiety and overcompensation to his lonely childhood as a family “peacekeeper,” concluding with his realization that his purpose is to prioritize self-care and be a supportive “good force of energy” for others.
