Garick

The Garick Roy Podcast is about real conversations and real stories without the polished b******t. From military life and veteran experiences to relationships, current events, personal struggles, and the things people usually avoid talking about. Some episodes are serious. Some are funny. Some might upset you. The point is simple: honest conversations, different perspectives, and no pretending we have it all figured out.

    Episode #8 — Gun Rights, Self-Defense & the Second Amendment | Special Guest

    In Episode 8, I sit down with a special guest to talk firearms, gun rights, responsible ownership, self-defense laws, defensive options, and the realities that come with carrying a weapon. We get into the rights Americans have, the responsibilities that come with them, and why being prepared is about more than simply owning a gun.

    Episode #5 — After the Uniform: The Battles Within | Part 2

    In Part 2 of Episode 4, I get into the side of military and veteran life that’s harder to put into words: depression, mental health, betrayal, isolation, losing your sense of purpose, missing the camaraderie, and trying to figure out who you are when the uniform comes off. We talk a lot about being strong. We don't talk enough about what happens when the person who was always expected to be strong starts struggling. This one gets personal.

    Episode #4 — Veteran Benefits | Part 1

    In Part 1 of this Veteran series, I break down the benefits too many service members don't fully understand until they're already out from VA disability and healthcare to the GI Bill, VR&E, VA home loans, state benefits, employment resources, and benefits for your family. Whether you're getting ready to ETS or you've been out for years, there may be benefits and resources you're overlooking. You earned them. Know what you're entitled to.
