In this episode, Chris and Albert begin the new format of the Warrior Soul Podcast, discussing mental and physical health, and delivering tools and tactics for becoming a better version of you.

Chris discusses his recent trip to Europe and the dark thoughts he had while traveling alone. Albert discusses his struggle dealing with his own negative thoughts and how he's picked up hobbies like music and drawing to fill the void. Additionally, the guys talk about their latest fitness journies and what they're doing to stay in great shape.

This week, Chris and Albert continue to address the question of understanding when we need to make a change. Albert delivers his insights on the major question that everyone should be asking themselves before they undertake anything.

Contrary to popular belief, there's times in our lives when we should quit. There's also times when we should push through. There's also a time when you can restart something you haven't finished.

In this episode, Chris takes you through the logic he's used through his life in determining these situations. Big thank you to the listener who emailed this question!

Real estate is a cornerstone of building wealth, and for a long time, I believed that it wasn't going to be accessible for me. That was until I came in contact with Active Duty Passive Income, a company that teaches Veterans and active duty military members how to invest in real estate. Following their principles, I was able to purchase my first property in Florida, and begin earning cash flow from that property immediately.

Now ADPI has a new product coming out that makes it even easier for Veterans to gain the benefits of real estate ownership. Our guest today is Adam La Barr, President of ADPI Capital.

Adam La Barr is a proud father, an Air Force veteran, a commercial multifamily investor, and co-owner of Active Duty Passive Income where he helps coach and mentor other military members, veterans, and their families how to invest in real estate. He is also the President of ADPI Capital that provides access to large multifamily real estate for anyone!

Rob Hyde is a US Marine Corps Veteran and business owner from Connecticut. He is currently running for US Senate.

In this episdoe, we discuss Rob's service in the Marine Corps, his volunteer work to help Veterans, and why he's choosing to run for Senate.

One of the biggest mistakes we make is waiting for the proper time to start.

We hear a lot about hard work, and it's importance. I've got no argument with that at all. Hard work is the basis of success.

But working hard toward the wrong thing can be worse than doing nothing. In this episode, I talk about how a little humility can save you years of effort in going down the wrong path.

Kegan Gill has been through things that would kill most people. As a US Navy Fighter Pilot, Kegan was forced to eject into the sound barrier as his plane was going down during a training exercise over the Atlantic Ocean.

In the process of ejecting, Kegan sustained catastrophic injuries that literally ripped his limbs apart along with a severe traumatic brain injury.

His body landed in the ice cold waters of the Atlantic, and his wet suit had ripped open. With his parachute still attached, and unable to move his arms, Kegan was continuously dunked into the freezing water for two hours before his rescue. Luckily, his hypothermic condition kept him from bleeding to death.

Kegan spent the following months focusing on his recovery, and despite his catastrophic injuries, was eventually able to score a perfect PFT and was able to return to flight duty.

But his battle was not over. Due to his traumatic brain injury, Kegan began to experience severe, but temporary, psychosis. After being rushed to the emergency room during a psychotic episode, Kegan was admitted to a VA Mental Health Facility.

Kegan did not react well to pharmaceutical treatments, and in many ways, they made him feel worse. After explaining this to his caregivers, they treated him as a trouble maker, and began doing things like keeping him up all night long by flashing a flashlight in his eyes every 15 minutes.

Kegan has since been seeking alternative treatments for his brain health. He found the Warrior Angels Foundation several months ago and is on the path to recovery through nuttracutical and hormonal interventions.

I caught up with Kegan in person at the Warrior Angels Foundation 4X4X48 in Texas. As he told me his story, my jaw hit the floor. In addition to fighting for his health, Kegan is also fighting to maintain his family. He has a wife and two young children.

This is one of the most mind-bending, jaw dropping, and inspiring episodes I've ever done, and I really appreciate Kegan for being so open.

I met Lee Smith at the Dania Beach Improv, and this guy is absolutely hilarious. Loved his set and he offered me some really great advice after I did mine. Later on, while watching an Instagram clip of him shooting his AK at the range, I found out that he's actually a US Army Veteran. So, I invited him onto the show to talk about his life, his experience in comedy, and his experience as a Veteran. Again. lots of lessons in this one, so be sure to listen with a note pad!

From making music to doing stand-up comedy, Lee Smith is an entertainer’s entertainer. Born and raised in Miami, FL, Lee was placed in Gifted classes in Elementary school. Goofing off in class was an everyday thing, as he still completed his assignments. Elected as Class Clown, he knew that comedy was in the cards dealt to him. Unsure of what to do after high school, Lee enlisted in the US ARMY. From there, he formed lifetime bonds and connections with people. Once out of the military, Lee focused on music, honing his craft. Incorporating lyricism with humor, comedy would still play a role somehow. While watching “Funny People”, an epiphany was had; try doing stand-up comedy. If the people like it, the shift will be towards comedy. Fortunately he received a standing ovation during his first show. Within a year, Lee won the Turkey Fest competition at the Miami Improv. From writing to performing, there isn’t much Lee Smith can’t do to keep you entertained.
