Hey everyone, welcome back to Drive On. I’m your host, Scott DeLuzio, and today our guest is Dave Morrow. Dave is a returning guest. Uh, he was on a couple of years ago. Uh, we were talking before we started recording about how long it’s been. Um, and Dave is a Canadian, uh, veteran. He’s a passionate Canadian.

Advocate for veterans, physical and mental wellbeing. Uh, he’s also the host of the hard to kill podcast and he’s launching a new fitness and health community. Uh, and he’s working hard on his upcoming book. Um, and we’re going to talk about all that stuff and he’s got other stuff in the pipeline. I’m, I’m sure he’s got tons to [00:01:00] talk about today.

So, uh, stay tuned for that. But first, uh, Dave, welcome to the show. Really glad to have you here. Um, glad to have you back. First.

Dave Morrow: Yeah, absolutely, Scott. And when I realized I need to get back on the, uh, the talking circuit because I got things in the pipeline, you’re one of the first guys I reached out to, and partly because you don’t like it, it’s. It’s not easy to stay in the podcast game. You know, like you said, you’ve been in, you’ve been at this for five years.

I’ve been at this for five years, most fall by the wayside. So if you’ve got legs in this game, that means you’ve got a good audience. That means you like what you’re doing. And so it’s a pleasure to be back on the show.

Scott DeLuzio: Yeah, absolutely. And it’s a pleasure to have you here on the show too. I think last time we, we had a great conversation. Um, and we talked about fitness and, and things like that.

Dave Morrow: Absolutely, Scott. Well, again, thanks for having me on. And. To start things all off, really everything started by accident. And, um, I was injured when I, uh, deployed in 2010. Nothing, nothing insane. I wasn’t knee deep in grenade pins or anything like that. I just hurt my back and I hurt my knee. And because of it, it led to my medical release from the military.

And during that process, I didn’t take care of myself, but when it got so bad that it couldn’t get out of bed and I couldn’t take care of my kids, it was, it was, it was time for a change. So, My book, which is literally right behind me [00:03:00] right there. So that’s my first book. I got ano...
