    #2: Craig McCarroll: From Combat to Consciousness — The Mission That Saved His Life

    Craig McCarroll spent 8 years as a Marine in the elite First Recon Battalion and 6+ years of high-stakes contractor work— then spent years in the dark. Infidelity during deployment. PTSD. Contractor life's hidden toll. A moment where suicide felt close. He doesn't hide any of it. What came next was a different kind of mission — DMT, ayahuasca, ibogaine, 5-MeO, and MDMA-assisted therapy combined with the Wisdom Dojo cracked him open and brought him back to life. He now teaches veterans to find their way home to themselves. Whether you've served, struggled with mental health, or lost someone to suicide — this episode will hit you in the chest and remind you: truth really does set you free.
