It's there for the taking and all it could take is somebody hearing a podcast or hearing their best friend be like: no, get up, let's talk about it.
Imagine transitioning from the intense world of US Army Special Forces to the glitz and glam of Hollywood. That's the journey Renford Ligon has taken, and in this episode of 'Voices of Valor', he shares his incredible story. With 25 years of service under his belt, including stints in Central and South America and numerous specialized training courses, Renford's military career was nothing short of extraordinary. But the real story begins after his retirement.
Facing his own battles with trauma and mental health, Renford turned to writing and acting as outlets for his experiences. He's now working on a memoir with Pulitzer Prize-winning author Nick Chiles and has appeared in notable projects like 'Emmitt Till' and 'Mayor of Kingstown'. In this candid conversation with Allen Steele, Renford opens up about the mental health stigma men face, the importance of having a backup plan, and how he's helping fellow veterans navigate life after service.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the resilience of the human spirit and the power of community.
