Ep 251: CCT, Adventurist Eric Ballester and Challenging the Drake Passage

Send us Fan MailEric Ballester served 20 years in every single combat zone that has mattered since 9/11. From Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa, Syria and more unnamed places, Eric served at the highest echelon of United States Special Operations Forces. As he transitioned off team and started his civilian life, Eric realized he had a lot more left to do, and to give. Eric talks about his problems with transitioning out of the military, his mental health, and finding a new purpose. And of all the challenges- he chose to be part of a team that will take on the Drake Passage, the most dangerous piece of ocean on the face of the planet. Oh, and they're doing it in a row boat. Make sure to follow Eric and his team as they take on something that only a handful of people have ever done as they train and prepare to take on this challenge in December of 2023.Please check out legacyfoh.givesmart.com and legacyexpeditions.net 00:00 Trent's Imposter Syndrome Intro00:50 Eric’s background05:00 Why was Syria different than OEF/OIF12:00 Perspective17:38 Traps along the way24:00 Depression and not comparing trauma31:50 Purpose - Drake’s Passage39:30 Maybe you can53:00 Legacy Expeditions ( Legacyfoh.givesmart.com ) ( legacyexpeditions.net )55:30 Just start- and how to start something you've never done 01:01:00 AdviceLegacyfoh.givesmart.com legacyexpeditions.netSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page:  HERERegister for our Operator Training Summit:  OperatorTrainingSummit.comFind an Air Force Recruiter: AirForce.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code:  ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code):  ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code:  ONESREADYDFND Apparel...
