Ep. 347 - Anthony Dyer

In this powerful episode of The On Purpose Podcast, Jerrod Hardy sits down with Anthony Dyer, a former U.S. Air Force special missions aviator, to explore the real cost of service—and the path to healing after it.

Anthony shares his journey from high-risk combat missions to facing trauma, addiction, and the loss of identity that many veterans and first responders silently carry. Through raw honesty and hard-earned perspective, he opens up about what it takes to rebuild a life rooted in purpose, resilience, and truth.

This episode is a reminder that vulnerability isn’t weakness—it’s the gateway to healing, connection, and lasting strength.
