David takes us through a journey what it was like for him to fall all the way to the bottom and getting a second chance on life.
David wrote a book called “Dishonor: One Soldier’s Journey from Desertion to Redemption”. He details the story of life as a soldier and falling in with the wrong crowd and a before he knew it he was dealing drugs on and off base.
His rock bottom was turning himself in and taking the small steps towards redemption. He served 3 out of his 5 years at Leavenworth and now a Cosmetologist at a local college where he has three beautiful daughters and a wife.
He tells his story to anyone who is willing to listen and does local outreach to those in prison who could benefit from his message.
If you have a family member or struggled with some form of drug addiction in your life, this episode will rock you to your core.
Your past does not have to define you.

We dive into a new topic today on the podcast, entrepreneurship. Branden runs the very successful Come Take it Coffee Company shipping perfectly roasted beans across the county.
We dive into what coming home means when you’re starting a family business.
His daughter is only three, but he is already preparing her with the entrepreneur mindset and that you can create anything if you have the commitment, discipline, and the heart.
I am a big fan of his coffee and even have it running on subscription getting three bags of his Alliance roast a month.
Lots of things to enjoy in this episode coffee, entrepreneurship, and the story of a man with a mission to deliver good coffee.
He supports 10% of all proceeds to veteran organizations.

Adam is a man I first met on LinkedIn but instantly knew it was a man I needed to have on the podcast and the conversation didn’t disappoint.
Adam served in the Airforce and now is working as a veteran to help Veterans connect on LinkedIn.
We dive into love languages with our spouse, our kids, and how we craft memories with our families that last.
Our actions speak louder than our words and our kids our always watching.

When we think about coming home we don’t often think about ourselves. We typically think about our family and friends.
We think about the time we were away and that its time to be with them.
There is some truth to that, but what most of us don’t realize that coming home also means taking off the uniform.
And when we take off the uniform we go from Superman to Clark Kent.
We don’t know who we are without it.
Why is this important you might be thinking?
If we don’t know who we are, what we value, where we want to go, we won’t have the anchor points in our life that keeps us grounded in one particular area.
We are going to move from job to job, from thought to thought, and choice to choice.
Our identity after we serve will be the lighthouse on the seas of life that will keep us coming back home on the days we get lost at sea.
You see when we don’t have our identity you might as well be a ship without a sail.
It starts with knowing your core values
It continues by knowing where you want to be in the future
It comes to true when your values and vision for your life start to help you take actions, and make choices that close the gap between the dad you are today and the day you are in the future.

I really loved this episode with Ian, he shares some vulnerability about becoming a dad.
He and his wife did something very few couples do, they went on a yearlong road trip with nothing but a car and a trailer.
It was having a new one on the way that they decided to come home back to Washington to start their family.
The way that Ian describes his relationship with his wife really had an impact on me and I am sure it will have an impact with you.
