Episode 27: “Remember PFC Eric Hario” w/ Jim and Becky Hario

 In this episode of The Catalyst Collective, Joshua Daniel and Johnny Hammans sit down with Jim and Becky Hario to remember their son, PFC Eric Hario—the 2025 Hero Games honoree. Eric’s story is one of courage, legacy, and sacrifice, from his younger years and entry into the Ranger Regiment to the impact he left on his family, his brothers, and all who knew him. The conversation dives deep into Eric’s life, exploring not just the Ranger he became but the young man behind the uniform. Jim and Becky share reflections on what it meant to see Eric choose the path of service, the bonds he built within the Regiment, and how his memory continues to shape their lives today. Joshua and Johnny also discuss the 2025 Hero Games and the powerful role it played for the Hario family—Jim as a competitor, Becky as a spectator. Together they highlight the mission of Hero Games, the importance of honoring Gold Star Families, and how events like these carry forward the legacies of those who gave everything. This is more than remembrance—it’s a reminder of why we gather, why we honor, and why we carry these stories forward. If you’ve ever wondered about the true weight of sacrifice and the mission to keep names like Eric’s alive, this episode will leave a lasting impact. Support the showThe Catalyst Collective Instagram Counter Culture Solutions InstagramCounter Culture Solutions WebsiteHero Games Charity InstagramHero Games Charity WebsiteSharp Top CrossFit InstagramSharp Top CrossFit WebsiteHosts:JD's InstagramJohnny's InstagramWillie's Instagram
