Eagle Nation Podcast

David Smith is a Marine combat veteran and respected advocate in the veteran community.  After an extremely difficult deployment to Iraq, that included a friendly-fire incident, Dave found himself lacking confidence, purpose, and direction.  Eventually, his depression led to him nearly taking his own life.  An outpouring of support from friends and family convinced him to start owning his recovery and take back his life.  Since that time, he’s graduated from UC Berkeley, shared the stage with President Bush, and built a new life in Norway! Dave and I have a really in-depth conversation that covers: Why you should always push for your stretch goals. Why pursuing love (in all its forms) is the most important thing you can do. How to feel truly alive and engaged. The challenges of depression and suicide And so much more. Dave is an extremely interesting and thoughtful guy and we know you’ll enjoy this conversation.  You may want to grab a note book because this one is full of valuable take-aways!
