In this gripping episode, Mel sits down with David Greenberg - author, speaker, and former rescue helicopter crewman, whose career has been defined by high-stakes missions and life-saving decisions. With over 4000 missions under his belt, David shares not just the adrenaline-fueled moments from his time in the air, but the deeper lessons in leadership, trauma, and human connection that emerged from decades of service.

 

This isn’t just a story about helicopters and heroism, it’s about what happens after the rescue. David opens up about navigating PTSD, finding purpose beyond the uniform, and using storytelling to empower others. Whether you're in advocacy, emergency response, or simply seeking inspiration, this episode will leave you grounded in courage and lifted by hope.
