About this listen

Jon originally started this podcast to share veterans’ stories and journeys in IT and Cybersecurity with some conversations around mental health. Then life happened (time, priorities, personal things) and had to step away. But during that time off, it became clear: these conversations are still needed. Maybe now more than ever.

      • Poetry and poetry have saved my life, along with my kids and my future wife Yanet.
    • Personal Story:
      • The things I saw and did in Iraq and Afghanistan, obviously, how I treated some of my Marines, during our time in Afghanistan, my ex-wife, and the things we have said and done to each other, my childhood, so many of my brothers taking their own lives. How I handle it I used to drink A LOT, but I started therapy in 2014 and did 5 years my therapist pushed me to share my poetry, and poetry has saved my life, now I write to cope and deal with my darkness.
    • Other Topics:
      • The VA sucks but use it, find a therapist, and learn healthy coping mechanisms. Learn mindfulness and how to meditate. Find something to occupy your mind and time, something that you actually enjoy and get some sort of fulfillment out of.
