Episode notes

Colton Hill, USMC Infantry & US Army Green Beret, reveals why high performers in the military often struggle the most when the mission ends. We dive into the "Operator Syndrome," the physical toll of 18 years of service, and why the transition home is the hardest fight of all.

Colton shares the moment that nearly cost him his life and what ultimately pulled him back.

This episode dives deep into resilience, faith, mental health, brotherhood, and why so many high-performing warriors struggle in silence after service. If you’re a veteran, first responder, or someone carrying unseen weight, this conversation may be exactly what you need to hear.
If this helps you, share it with someone who needs it. You’re not alone.
