Episode 34: Phil Myers

This week we welcome Phil Myers, former Navy EOD technician. Phil tells his story of his recent separation from the military, and the transition from the SOF community to civilian life. He has dedicated this portion of his life to promoting alternative therapies; such as yoga, fitness, nature immersion, ice baths, and psychedelics. To bolster his own mental health, Phil will be stepping off to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail, a grueling 120-day journey that will test his mental and physical rigor. Phil also gives a candid and thought-provoking description of his struggles with alcohol, and how finding sobriety has helped prepare him for his journey. Phil's story of transition and overcoming adversity will inspire you, and motivate you to tackle any roadblock in your life. This interview will definitely explain why his Instagram handle is @finding_phil_.
