My Journey with Dealing with Mental Health
In this episode of the VinnyRoc Podcast, the focus shifts from the stark statistic of "22" day to a broader conversation about mental health and well-being. Vince argues that framing the issue around this number creates a negative stigma and reinforces helplessness. Instead, he proposes emphasizing resilience and personal journeys of healing, like his own battle with PTSD and sleep problems. Through open dialogue and a shift in perspective, the podcast aims to empower individuals to prioritize mental health, seek help, and create a more supportive environment for everyone. It's a call to action to challenge negative narratives, prioritize well-being, and embrace the possibilities of thriving beyond terminal crises.

Descendants of Sparta is a powerful peer anti-suicide program that provides vital support to those in need. Additionally, the Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) training program educates law enforcement on veteran issues and conflict de-escalation tactics. Karl's commitment to this cause is evident in his speaking engagements, having addressed nearly a thousand officers at six conferences in the past year. Karl’s dedication to supporting veterans extends to his role as the owner and CEO of DriPowder, LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) specializing in business development and veteran care and support issues.

David Vobora joins us on the podcast!
David Vobora - A Remarkable Journey of Resilience and Service Meet David Vobora, a true embodiment of resilience and unwavering commitment to service. You may know him as the final pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, affectionately celebrated as 'Mr. Irrelevant' in the sun-kissed shores of Newport Beach that memorable summer. David's journey in the NFL was nothing short of remarkable. Despite the odds stacked against him, he donned the jerseys of the Rams for three seasons and the Seahawks for one, leaving an indelible mark on the field until injuries curtailed his playing career. But for David, the end of his NFL career was merely the beginning of his true calling. David had a vision that transcended the boundaries of sports and military service. "Vets and transitioning athletes helping each other under one roof," he envisioned. In this life phase, athletes and veterans grapple with similar challenges. Athletes accustomed to performing in front of thousands suddenly found themselves 'discharged,' struggling to find a job. At the same time, veterans, used to running into battle, faced the daunting prospect of civilian life. David knew it wasn't easy, but he was determined to make a difference. His commitment to service didn't stop there. David Vobora founded the Adaptive Training Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides free personal training to individuals recovering from traumatic injuries, whether in the military or civilian life. This initiative is not just about physical rehabilitation; it's about instilling hope and resilience in those facing life-altering challenges.
