SPECIAL EPISODE! Episode 11 is part two of a two part series in which I interview an extraordinary hero. Mr. Tom Equels. He can be called many things in addition to Hero: Decorated Vietnam War Veteran, Cobra Fighter Pilot, Summa Cum Laude college graduate, Lawyer (in a good way - he fights for the poor, for religious freedom, for equal rights), Painter, CEO and Sir Tom. It's true - he is an actual Knight - appointed a Papal Knight of the Equestrian Order of Saint Gregory The Great by Pope Benedict in 2012. He is also an accomplished horseman and advocate for equine therapy for Veterans suffering from PTSD. And with the launch of his new book, he can also be called a Novelist. The Horseman's Tale by Tom Equels is about a Vietnam War Veteran and Marine suffering from PTSD seeking peace of mind and understanding through journaling and his love of training horses. I highly recommend this book and tuning in to this episode to learn more about the book and Sir Tom!
