How War, Cancer, & Mental Health Shaped This Veteran’s Mission - Nick Bright with War Trophy| Ep99

“Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.” – Khalil Gibran

In this episode, Logan and Tyson sit down with Nick Bright, writer, mental health advocate, and proud representative of the War Trophy Brand, one of our main sponsors of our upcoming Charity Beard Competition in Florida event with Justin Nunley.

Nick opens up about his journey through life-altering health battles, including cancer, and how those experiences reshaped his perspective on purpose and resilience. His story is one of grit and grace—turning pain into perspective and using it to help others navigate their own challenges.

We also talk about the mission behind War Trophy and why supporting mental health, veterans, and community matters now more than ever. This conversation is raw, inspiring, and a reminder that every scar tells a story—and every story has the power to help someone else heal.
