Episode 55-Xander Gleaton's Journey from Darkness to Light | How Psychedelics Changed Everything

from The Resilient Warrior Nation · host The Resilient Warrior Nation

On this week's episode, Mike interviews Xander Gleaton, a former Air Force Pararescue man (PJ) who details his very traumatic childhood as his mother had a serious drug addiction and Xander was constantly moving from home to home. This resulted in Xander getting heavily involved in drugs usage himself in his early teen years. He finally shed that habit and transitioned into the military where he successfully navigated one of THE most difficult training pipelines in the entire Special Forces arena. After leaving the military Xander details how PTSD and a new drug habit almost took his life before psychedelics saved it and he was not only able to heal himself, but thrive after creating his own apparel company. Xander's story should show you that ANYONE can succeed in life, no matter what hand you're dealt!
