Who's up for rowing across the Atlantic? Not me. Not a big fan of being in the middle of the ocean for 40 seconds, much less 40 days!
 
But one of my heroes, Robert Hamilton Owens, is joining 11 other brave souls and making the dangerous and exhausting journey to raise money for the Mark Crampton Memorial Trans-Atlantic Row.
 
Robert is taking on the challenge to row 3500 miles across the Atlantic to raise awareness of, and funding for, the prevention of veteran suicide, in honor of his friend, retired Navy SEAL Mark Crampton, who took his own life in April 2022.
 
Robert is a 71-year-old ex-USAF Pararescueman, the Air Force version of the Navy SEALs. This is not the first such challenge for the father of 5, Robert is also a 12-time Ironman triathlete, has run 7 marathons in 7 days on 7 continents, and completed the 50-hour Kokoro Navy SEAL hell week simulation at the age of 69. Amazing!
 
He's raising donations for the Courage Foundation, which offers an integrated, holistic approach for helping veterans with post-traumatic stress and transition back into society.
 
The challenge will begin December 4, 2022, in the Canary Islands with the goal of arriving in Antigua by mid-January, 2023. Robert felt this epic 40+ day endurance event would help bring attention to this Suicide Prevention crises.
 
“We can reach and encourage these veterans before they make that terrible lonely decision to take their lives.” - Robert Owens.

“The biggest epidemic of 2021 isn’t Covid. It is mental health, trauma and addiction”- Theo Fleury 
I’ve had plenty of Make Your Mark podcast guests and Clubroom events that have focused on victory of bad over good, overcoming hurdles, challenges and struggles. Plenty of laughs too. But having both Theo Fleury and Eric Kussin in the Clubroom to talk about mental health issues as we continue our march through Covid was worth every second of this event.
Each suffered through significant trauma, and as you listen to this podcast you will not only hear their life experiences, but also the ways that you can change your day-to-day, your outlook and your mindset towards better days ahead. 
We all have faced extraordinary challenges over the past 18 months, some more than others, and this is an episode worth listening to, whether over a morning coffee or an evening curled up on the couch.  
“We think if I’m messed up in this place and I need to get better by sleeping more, sleeping will be the healing agent for me, and we have to resist that urge. Stagnation breeds stagnation. The more I lay down and I wait for it to get better, the less chance I am going to get up.” - Eric Kussin 
Multitudes of thanks to both Eric and Theo for baring their hearts and souls for us, they truly are making such a positive impact, and make sure to catch their podcast as well, "We’re All A Little “Crazy”."
Here are just a few of the examples of wisdom and knowledge that Eric and Theo shared. Make sure to listen for the rest!
“I hate the word addiction because it has so much shame attached to it, and really what this is all about is emotional pain management. We all take different avenues and different paths to either suppress or numb out from that emotional pain, because emotional pain is mental illness.” - Theo Fleury


“I had no idea it was related to my past life events. Once I found a doctor who helped me put that together…”Eric, your central nervous system, everything involved from a biological perspective, there’s an explanation for everything that has happened to you, and that has been built up cumulatively over time.”  The best analogy I can make is how plaque builds up in our arteries and can cause a heart attack. That buildup of stress and trauma over time does the same. It looks slightly different in each of us, but it’s the buildup of all this stuff that leads there.” - Eric Kussin  
 
“We have the highest suicide rates in the history of our planet, so whatever messaging has taken place up to this point isn’t working.” - Theo 
 
Some Topics we talk about in this episode: 
 
2:00 - Intro  3:00 - Eric Kussin & Theo Fleury  5:40 - The biggest epidemic of 2021 isn’t Covid 8:10 - The Media's corrupt code of ethics  9:00 - The case of Vincent Jackson  11:50 - It’s not a silver bullet answer  12:00 - I hate the word addiction  14:00 - You should see the reaction when they hear I’ve been raped by my coach 17:00 - There’s an explanation for what’s happened to you 19:20 - A magical conversation Theo and Eric had  20:30 - The start of the We’re All A Little “Crazy” Podcast  23:40 - The individual words matter  24:00 - School shootings don’t have to do with mental health?  25:10 - We have the highest suicide rates in the history of our planet  27:00 - Honesty, Openness and Willingness  29:00 - Our brain Chemistry is out of whack   34:00- Laying in bed does not equal rest - Sleeping is not the healing agent  36:00 - Medications are not cures 38:50 - Getting that trapped energy out  40:30 - The Scale App  51:00 - Recalibrating    53:00 - 6 by 6 cell  57:30 - Creating a safe space is not the fluff you’re thinking  60:30 - Trauma before the NHL   65:50 - Our mental health is impacted 68:00 - Handling trauma before it’s too late  70:00 - Your mental health toolkit 75:00 - We’re all a little crazy! 80:00 - Wrap up   
How to get involv

Clint Malarchuk’s life can’t be summarized in a few words. But I’ll try. Very successful NHL career as a goalie. Great sense of humor. Strength, kindness, and a huge heart. Rancher. Tougher than nails. Mix in severe mental health illness, anxiety, crippling OCD, depression, alcoholism, rehab centers, and a suicide attempt.
 
“I’ve had a lot of surgeries, a lot of physical pain. I tell you what. The most painful thing in the world is mental illness. I’d rather have my jugular vein cut again. If God gave me the choice “Hey Clint, want to have your vein cut again and get rid of this mental illness?” I’d say ‘Sign me up, God!’”
 
Each one of us is a puzzle, with each of the pieces representing a part of us; our health, emotions, work, play, interests, and so on, and we do our best to keep that puzzle as close to being solved as possible.
 
Wait until you hear all about the pieces in Clint’s puzzle, and you’ll want to know so much more about him, his message of hope for all who suffer through the pain and darkness of mental illness, and how his story can open up new doors and return the light to the darkness you or anyone in your circle is going through.
 
“The book really started the whole thing. I was so terrified when I wrote the book because I didn’t know how it would be perceived. I threw it all out there. It was pretty honest, pretty raw. It’s not just a hockey book, or a book about an athlete. It’s more of a book on life – a life with mental illness and alcoholism and childhood trauma.”
 
Yes, we recorded this live at his Canuck Ranch in Nevada, with dogs wrestling, the wind started howling and honestly not the best audio sound recording. But it was an incredible experience. I can’t wait to hear from you once you’ve listened to this episode. Happy listening.
 
“Wow there’s a lot of Clint Malarchuks out there. I’m helping people, and it’s turning into a good career as a speaker. I love it because I know when I give a speech, and there’s a line at the book signing, and people in tears and hugging me and saying ‘I’m going to get help’ and ‘You’re the first person that’s been so honest and open’. So what we do is suffer in silence because of the stigma surrounding mental illness, so I think I’m trying to knock down that door.”
