About this listen

 Some lives are shaped by a single decision, and others by a steady accumulation of moments that refuse to let go. In this episode of Unfinished Business - A Podcast for Veterans Pursuing New Life Missions, Drew Carlton walks through the moments that shaped him, the early discipline of the Marine Corps, the unexpected turns of transition, and the long road toward finding his place in behavioral health. He speaks with humility about the chapters that tested him and the people who helped him grow into the leader he is today.His path from Parris Island to Mesa Springs reveals a man who carries his experiences with intention. Nursing school, overnight shifts, difficult pivots, and years of listening to the pain of others became the building blocks for a kind of leadership rooted in steadiness and care. Drew explains how a hospital needs more than procedures, it needs presence, calm, and a leader who understands what people carry when they feel overwhelmed and unseen.What makes Drew’s story meaningful is the dedication behind his work. He shows how purpose can build itself quietly over time, shaped by service, faith, and a willingness to be there for people in their hardest moments. Having the opportunity to sit with him and explore that inner landscape was a gift, a reminder of how rare it is to hear a veteran speak with this level of honesty and heart.This conversation opens a window into the heart of that mission, and the rest of his truth unfolds inside the full episode.It is truly inspiring.
