Scott DeLuzio: 00:03 Hi everybody, this is the Drive On Podcast where we talk about issues affecting veterans after they get out of the military. I’m your host, Scott DeLuzio. And now let’s get on with the show.
Scott DeLuzio: 00:14 Hey everyone, before we get started, I wanted to give you a quick heads up that in this episode, at some point, we’re going to talk about the topic of suicide. I wanted to let you know beforehand in case that’s not something that you want to listen to. I know we’ve talked about it before on this show and I dropped the ball about giving a disclaimer about it. So, I’m sorry about that. I do start off that segment in this episode with a question about veteran suicide. And that segment from that point, goes for approximately 12 minutes. So, if you’re at a place that you don’t really want to hear that type of thing for one reason or another, go ahead and just fast forward through that 12-minute segment. Once you get through that, you should be in the clear. The rest of the episode before that and after is really good.
Scott DeLuzio: 01:00 And so, I don’t want to discourage people necessarily from listening to it; although, if you just don’t want to take the risk and you don’t want to listen to it, that’s fine too. Stop it here and there’ll be no hard feelings about that. With that said, if you’re somebody who’s maybe struggling with thoughts of suicide or other issues, we do have a link on our website now with a bunch of resources that might help. At the top of the website driveonpodcast.com there’s a link for veteran resources. If you’re on a mobile device, the link might look like three little lines that are next to the logo that will open up a menu where you should be able to find the veteran resources there. There are phone numbers you can call and websites that you can go check out to hopefully get the help that you’re looking for, if you should need it.
Scott DeLuzio: 01:48 So with that, we’ll get on with the show. Hey everyone. Today my guest is Dr. Sherry Walling. Dr. Walling is a clinical psychologist who supports people with high intensity jobs. She’s a host of the Zen Founder podcast and also the bestselling author of the book, The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Keeping Your Shit Together. Dr. Walling, I might refer to you as Doc at some point in this episode. I hope that’s okay with you.
Sherry Walling: Yes and Sherry is also fine too, whatever you choose.
Scott DeLuzio: Okay. Welcome to the show. And why don’t you tell us a little bit about yourself and what you do?
Sherry Walling: 02:26 I have a really incredible, some of the most intense high-performing people around us and I help people...
