Episode Description
Heston Russell and I served together on a difficult mission in Afghanistan. I was a tank platoon commander and he was the commander of an Aussie commando platoon. We didn't know that fact until I asked him to be a guest on this podcast. Heston retired as a Major after 16 years in the military and over 100 combat missions serving within Aussie Special Forces. He's a fierce advocate for veterans, and finding better pathways from service to everyday life. Heston founded Voice of a Veteran (now Veteran Support Force) after his own experiences leaving the military and struggling through life after service. Years after our mission, I'm grateful to be able to connect with Heston and have this important and healing conversation, because these are the types of conversations we need to be having.
