You serve your Country- you Lead in the military (THREE tours in Afghanistan)- you better speak clearly. Problem may become, when you return home, you lose your voice... lose your purpose... pick up some addictive habits. My guest, Sean MacMillen, endured all of this, and a lot more- on his road to redemption. I had the privilege of meeting Sean at a spectacular Ultra running event, honoring our mutual friend Charlie Engle. I really had no idea going in that the bond that was formed among this group of "crazy" passionate endurance runners, would be so powerful. 

Sean's story is one of success, endurance, resilience, humor, and tragedy. The key to all of this- at least when I listened to Sean- is to literally keep moving a step at a time... a day at a time. Sean and I have sobriety in common, and that bond enabled us to connect. I remember when I spoke with Charlie Engle, a week prior to the incredible event supporting the Ashley Treatment Center in MD. Charlie said to me that Sean would be a great guest for my Podcast. Now I know that Charlie's right. 

This is a powerful episode with some really difficult topics covered. I also think you'll be quite grateful to hear from Sean MacMillen, who has survived and thrived under incredible circumstances. Give a listen and I strongly believe you'll are glad you did.
