I love the way you show other men that emotional 'vulnerability' isn't a weakness but a sign of their strength in building mental fortitude. I love you. Keep going.

I am this man’s biggest fan! Let me tell you how humble he is - I watched another podcast he did 2 months ago on KZbin. I was BLOWN AWAY by his humility and the love for his father that HE never lost - it was beautiful to me. I made an IG reel referencing his compassion and strength and tagged him. He replied very graciously and we began DM’ing. I’m a retired 30 yr police officer who now works w/ vets/1st responders to help heal their PTSD & traumas after healing my own. Zack agreed to do a Live IG referencing the same b/c it’s such an important subject and he’s such a selfless guy. The live went great and I asked him if he’d be interested in doing a regular podcast on mental health awareness, inspirational stories like his etc and he agreed. So we will be launching that soon. That is an absolute warrior - with the F’ing heart of a lion! And his compassion is off the charts

I think I would’ve been a few classes ahead of you. I got unexpectedly discharged out of bootcamp in Sep 2014 for “fraudulent entry” as a direct result of listening to my recruiter when he told me “just say no about that part” on one box on my med questionnaire for MEPS. That one no-checked box got me unexpectedly sent to separations in RTC. You’re one of my favorite team guys, Zack. You are one admirable mfer. My family became my priority when I got discharged too. We all had bad relationships. I focused on trying to fix those relationships and putting myself last. Today we’re all good, and that made me tear up a little bit just typing that. For the first time ever, it feels like we’re a team. Godspeed, frogman. Shoutout from this former E-1 tadpole in the Austin area.
