Bob Moran: From Naval Academy to Homelessness to Entrepreneurial Success

It doesn't matter where we came from...if we're able to go first and share our story, you know how many times somebody's come to me afterwards- hey, you know what, I've had a similar thought or had a similar thing in my life.
Imagine graduating from the prestigious Naval Academy only to find yourself homeless years later. That's the reality Bob Moran faced. In this gripping episode of the Stigma Podcast, hosted by Stephen Hays, Bob opens up about his tumultuous journey. He served honorably as a Marine officer, but transitioning to civilian life was far from smooth. Struggling to find the right job and dealing with mental health issues led him down a path of lost relationships, homelessness, and despair.
However, Bob's story doesn't end there. With the help of a civilian homeless shelter and the Department of Veterans Affairs, he managed to rebuild his life. Now, he's an entrepreneur in the mental health space with his startup, Mirror Image Clothing. Bob shares the mission behind his business and how it aims to support mental health. This episode is a powerful reminder that even in the darkest times, there is hope and a way forward.
Whether you're a veteran, know someone who is, or are simply interested in stories of resilience, Bob's journey will leave you inspired.
