For Branden Zeitler, Army Veteran and Delaware Coordinator for Irreverent Warrior, the loss of his best friend to suicide became the catalyst for a life dedicated to veteran suicide prevention. In this episode, Branden discusses why "irreverent" connection is the key to breaking down walls for veterans, the wisdom gained from navigating personal trauma, and the "8 Minutes" Rule: A powerful perspective on the window of time that can save a life. Branden’s perspective is a vital reminder that while we can't change the past, we can absolutely shape the future of veteran mental health.
