EP 185 - From a Cult to the Cockpit to the Control Room: How Radical Responsibility Saved His Life

🎙️ From a controlling childhood in a religious cult, to two combat tours in Iraq, to calling the shots as a live TV director — Logan’s story is one of survival, radical responsibility, and reinvention. In this episode, John Suzuki sits down with Logan to unpack the choices, the low points, and the moment that changed everything — the decision to fight not only for himself but to model resilience for his daughter.

Inside this conversation, you’ll learn:

 1.How a strict cult upbringing shaped identity and led to suicidal thinking — and how Logan escaped. 2. Why joining the Air Force became both a refuge and a source of further trauma (two tours in Iraq). 3. The ways PTSD and hypervigilance followed him home, and how those effects show up in daily life. 4. The turning point: the thought that saved him and led to sobriety and radical action. 5. How Logan cold-called his way into TV directing — and why pursuing a dream is part of healing. 6. What “radical responsibility” really means and practical steps listeners can use to take control. 7. How to lead by example so your life becomes a blueprint, not a warning, for the next generation.

💡 Key Takeaways:

1. Healing often begins with a single conscious decision to stop waiting for rescue and start taking responsibility. 2. Trauma compounds when left unaddressed; professional help + sustained action are critical. 3. Purpose (like Logan’s directing dream) can be a powerful vehicle for recovery. 4. Leading by example — especially for children — can reframe personal struggle into legacy.
