I see conflict from many vantage points. Join me as I guide people through their conflict, and for conversations with world-renowned guest speakers about conflict related to race, sex, money, spirituality, gender, war, family, politics, and workplace issues -and all the other confrontations we dread having, but desperately need to face.

Spooks, Suicide, & Spirituality: A Green Beret’s Inner Conflict

Yet, his most harrowing battles were fought within.

In this candid conversation, Dave reveals how he survived his darkest moments, what he told himself to keep going, and how he ultimately chose life. His story offers a lifeline to those grappling with despair, showing that hope and healing are possible.
This episode serves as a powerful reminder of the invisible battles many endure and the profound impact of love, acknowledgment, and vulnerability in overcoming them.
