Join us in this engaging episode of Project Sapient. Our guest, Nick Allen, a retired Green Beret and now the driving force behind his podcast initiative, Lesser Known Operators, shares his inspiring journey from military service to podcasting.

Nick opens up about his experiences in the Green Berets, candidly discussing the physical and mental tolls of active service, including his own battle with injuries and the subsequent path to retirement. He discusses the challenges of transitioning to civilian life and how a chance decision sparked the creation of Lesser Known Operators, a podcast committed to amplifying the stories of special operations veterans.

Listeners will gain insights into the importance of mental health awareness, especially within the law enforcement and military fields, and the need for supportive networks post-service. Nick's mission is to bring to light the untold stories of his peers, showcasing both their heroism and the human side of those who serve. This episode is a call to action on the importance of resilience, sharing one's narrative, and finding purpose beyond the uniform.

To us, the mohawk represents the outlier – the person who is not afraid to go against the grain, rise up for what they believe in, and stand tall in the face of adversity. Veterans, First Responders, and those who support them embody the mohawk. When you get a mohawk in support of veteran and first responder suicide prevention, you become a part of a movement that is greater than oneself. 

22Mohawks is proud to assist veterans and first responders who need help navigating everyday life's struggles.
