300 Episodes, Three Years After The Navy: What Reinvention Really Takes

Send us Fan MailToday, I open Season 10 of Couple O’ Nukes with a solo episode reflecting on three years since leaving the military, crossing 300 episodes, and building a self-improvement podcast rooted in faith, mental health, suicide prevention, addiction recovery, military life, and real conversations. I look back on the transition from Navy nuclear operator to podcaster, speaker, comedian, preacher, author, and entrepreneur while discussing how unexpected opportunities can grow from a single conversation.In this episode, I talk about the instability, movement, and personal growth that have shaped the past three years, including multiple moves, changing career paths, civilian work, conference travel, and the behind-the-scenes reality of building a podcast alone. I also discuss how Couple O’ Nukes evolved from a comedy-focused hobby into a mission-driven platform for veterans, young adults, creators, families, and people rebuilding after trauma.I also reflect on the hard parts of entrepreneurship, including loneliness, burnout, unrealistic expectations, mental health struggles, and the pressure to constantly produce more. Through that, I talk about learning to focus less on numbers and more on impact, consistency, quality, and the lives changed through honest conversations.As Season 10 begins, I discuss the future of the podcast, upcoming episodes, speaking opportunities, faith-based content, comedy, writing, and continued community building. This episode is about military transition, creator growth, faith, purpose, and the reminder that one conversation can become a mission larger than anything you originally planned.Website: https://coupleonukes.comDiscounted Military Creator Con Tickets: http://militarycreatorcon.com/register?afmc=MCCMWExodus, Honor Your Heart, & Nulu Knives: https://www.coupleonukes.com/affiliates/Want to be a guest on Couple O' Nukes?
