I'm thrilled to speak to Dr. Keith McNally, a US Marine, educator, and a three-time podcast creator. He opens up about his battles with PTSD, including two attempted suicides and a heart attack. But here's the thing – instead of letting those dark moments define him, he found a way to turn his life around. Dr. Keith shares how COVID-19, which initially plunged him into despair, led him to reach out to strangers on LinkedIn, fostering meaningful connections that transformed his life.

And get this – Dr. Keith's mission doesn't stop at personal growth. He's gearing up for an epic thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail in 2025, all in the name of suicide prevention and supporting at-risk veterans. This episode is filled with inspiration, resilience, and the power of genuine connections in navigating life's challenges.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How a supportive community can be the difference during difficult times.
• About the power of building meaningful connections through personal development and relationship-building strategies
• The importance of self-care and nature for mental well-being
• Every conversation has value
• About Dr. Keith’s project: Thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail for personal transformation and raising awareness for mental health
