Tom and Jen Satterly : Black Hawk Down Warrior on Training to Transition and TBI | EP 21

Those years were spent in the military’s most secretive and elite Special Operations unit, Delta Force. As an Operator and CSM, Tom fought in and lead countless high profile military missions including Operation Red Dawn (Saddam Hussein’s capture) and the Battle of Mogadishu (Black Hawk Down) which was the longest sustained firefight since Vietnam. That 18-hour firefight ended with Tom, along with several of his team mates, running the Mogadishu Mile to safety.  Although the physical, mental, and emotional toll of war had compounded over the years, Tom never faced his Post-Traumatic Stress symptoms and in 2013 he nearly ended his life. Had it not been a text from his now wife, Jen, he would have joined the 22 veterans who commit suicide every single day.  Tom and Jen founded the All Secure Foundation to help provide training to Veterans transitioning out of the military, and often breach the importance of vulnerability in their work.   Brandt, Tom and Jen talk about The Battle of Mogadishu (Black Hawk Down), what darkness looked like in Tom's life, how Tom and Jen work through this darkness, TBI treatment, and how all of this lead to the amazing work Tom and Jen are doing All Secure Foundation .  We get vulnerable, fast. Please continue to rate, review and share these life saving conversations!
