Our next guest, Ryan Hendrickson, joins us this Christmas to share his incredible journey of becoming a United States Special Forces Green Beret and demining landmines across Ukraine, saving countless lives.

This episode connects with a former guest, Kyle Morgan, who, in his previous interview, discussed the mission during which Ryan was wounded. Shawn personally calls Kyle during the interview, allowing us to hear both perspectives on the remarkable actions of Kyle and another comrade that resulted in saving Ryan Hendrickson's life after Ryan made his way to an Afghan terp who had wandered off into uncleared territory. As Ryan was clearing his way back, he began to witness movement, and a few steps later, his life would change forever. Ryan survived stepping on an IED and shortly returned to service after a successful limb salvage surgery.

Once again, Ryan found himself in other life-and-death situations during an intense combat deployment where his unit was ambushed. Kyle reflects on this story during the show, which ultimately led to him being awarded the Silver Star for his actions that day. This episode covers a multitude of topics, including veteran victimization, overcoming trauma, reinventing oneself, the Afghanistan withdrawal, and Ryan's work in Ukraine.
