#27 - Believing the Veteran Hype: Why It Sets Us Up for Failure.

In this episode, Juan talks about the harsh realities that veterans face when they leave the military, confronting the toxic myths that glorify military service and set veterans up for failure in civilian life. He challenges the romanticized image of the veteran hero, revealing personal struggles and systemic flaws that hinder successful transitions. This provocative discussion encourages veterans to reject outdated stereotypes and forge their own paths in society.
