Ep. 45 • Brian Price Part 2 • From Hell Week to Hamlet: a Hard Earned Second Act.
from Liberty Risk
If Part 1 was Navajo roots, SEAL Team life, cryptids, and Brian trying to make sense of God and the unseen… Part 2 is where the mission shifts inward. After leaving the Navy, Brian finds himself standing at the edge of an entirely different world, one that has nothing to do with war zones or deployments, and everything to do with rebuilding a life from the ground up. What starts as a random trip to New York turns into a life-altering pivot, when he realizes the next chapter might not be combat at all… it might be purpose. Brian goes from growing up on the reservation to walking into Columbia University, learning in real time that reinvention doesn't require permission, it just requires a willingness to step into the unknown, and do the work. We talk about the hard transition after service, the quiet discipline of starting over, and how acting became a form of healing… not as an escape, but as a way of reconnecting with emotion, identity, and meaning. From working on Transformers to getting personal advice from Michael Bay that changed his trajectory, Brian's story becomes a reminder that sometimes the most important transformations happen after the uniform comes off. That road eventually leads to LAMDA, one of the most elite classical acting programs in the world, where Brian finds a new brotherhood, a new craft, and a new way to serve through storytelling. This episode is funny, thoughtful, and completely unlike anything else… a SEAL turned Shakespearean actor learning how to live a full life in the second act. Part 2 is here. We split this 4 hour episode into 2 parts because the conversations in each half were SO different. Part 1 of Brian's episode was released last Friday. 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️ Our Patreon page is now LIVE! 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️ Here you can get exclusive access to the behind the scenes action, the hidden conversations between breaks, a private community chat, and LOTS more, including discounts on Liberty Risk merch as well as some of our partner brands.
