Lawrence DeMonico

Lawrence DeMonico is a husband, father of two boys, and a disabled combat veteran who dedicated 20 years to serving his country. He spent a decade on active duty in special operations intelligence, followed by another 10 years as a private military contractor for various government agencies.

After stepping away from a life of service, he has shifted his focus to being the best husband and father possible and building a successful career as an entrepreneur. In this episode, he shares his journey through childhood, military service, and the trauma he endured during his time in special operations. He also discusses a transformative clinical psychedelic therapy using Ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT, provided by The Mission Within.
