Today Mike welcomes Chris L., U.S. Air Force retired. He shares his incredible journey from serving in the military for a decade, including deployments with special operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, to his post-military life. Chris expresses his deep gratitude for the support from Sentinels of Freedom, emphasizing the importance of trust between veterans and those offering assistance. He credits them with helping him complete his bachelor's degree and pursue a Juris Doctorate, a path he initially hadn't planned on.

Chris opens up about his mental health struggles and the pivotal moment during a military exercise that led him to seek help. He recounts his experience with medication and its side effects, underscoring the importance of taking control of one's own recovery journey.

Transitioning from law school, Chris embarked on a unique career path as a dog trainer, finding immense fulfillment in helping dogs overcome anxiety and fear, skills he learned partly due to his law degree. He touches on the therapeutic power of dogs and how he plans to establish a 501(c)(3) organization to rescue, train, and rehome shelter dogs.
